Project Gulf Impact - Telling Their Stories

by Ellinorianne

There's a lot of speculation about the long term impact of the oil left behind from the massive oil gusher in the Gulf.  There are still questions about the relief wells, the cap and whether the oil will really be held at bay for the long term.

And then you have the millions of gallons of dispersant, Corexit, that was sprayed in the air and over water, it was used profusely in a way that hadn't been done in any previous spills.

There have been dairies about the health of the workers, the residents, etc. but not many.  I wrote about the early diagnosis of the health issues facing workers and residents being a syndrome known as tilt.  The people suffering are being shouted down by skeptics, you can see it my diary that I reference.  The more doubt given to their symptoms and their health issues, the less BP, etc. will have to actually pay and be responsible for what they are doing.
