Gulf oil Spill, A Year After Devastation. Did you know that the oil spill will cost over 6 billion dollars just to clean up according to BP officials? Not to mention the amount of customers they lost. Think about it, losing hundreds of thousands customers. Over the year so far, that’s about a million dollars or more in the time it will take them to clean up the spill, depending on gas prices of course. This is the worst economic crisis so far. My reasoning is that it now raises the question even more, should we still use gas/oil for our cars and machinery? Or look for an alternative source, this spill has also devastated parts of our fishing industry, and again, it will cost 6 billion dollars or more and years of work to completely clean up, if they can even completely do it.
