This most recent Gulf Coast oil spill reinforces the arguement against off-shore drilling and for alternative energy and energy conservation. I have no problem saying, "I told you so!
What I do have a problem with is the relative silence of those-so called advocates for clean energy. Where are they?
This is a key time to use the visibility of the disaster to argue for clean energy and against further investment in potentially dangerous technologies like off-shore drilling or nuclear energy.
Why are we so reluctant to capitalize on a misfortune, even when it's in the interest of preventing the next one, when our opponents have no such qualms?
I hope we don't let this event pass without raising the issue. That's one, "I told you so," I'd rather not say.
