• Answer #1

  Yes we will be affected. Right now they are burning the oil off the top of the water which is causing air pollution. Also we will notice our gas prices go up every month, some say it will get up to $14 in the next six months. Until we find a way to stop the 5,000 barrels of oil leaking per day I think we are all screwed. As for the blame, it was BP's oil drilling rig so they are being blamed.
