Gulf of Mexico Oil spill....Wake-up call? The signs for change???

   So , it's been 37 days of continous oil flow into the Gulf of Mexico. A few weeks ago I made a comment on My Facebook page.
"Its been 20+ days yet, oil is still leaking into the gulf. Perhaps if BP would concentrate on plugging & sealing the leak instead of trying to recover the oil for it profits, they might actually get something done????

 These oil companies make billions of $$$ each quarter....each quarter! That's all profit! You would believe that some of this profit would include emergency response technology funds. They sure did make advancements in deep sea drilling, without modern technology to deal with an major oil spill. Where is this technology?
   But the real sad part is, when its all said and done. BP will only inflate prices and still come out ahead! Take a look at those executives, do they look really worried. No, cause they know society is so depended on fossil fuel and WHEN?? they get this spill under control....it will be business as usual.

With that, so many questions arised......

• What about the wildlife & its inhabitants?
• Why was there no emergency plan in place for such an event?
• What will be the long term damage to the environment?
• Is it really time to invest our interest in alternative energy?
• One question that personally has been bugging the heck out of me is....

"Is the oil/petroleum that we retrieve from our earth, have a much more important purpose?"
Mainly, like the oil we use to lubricate our vehicles. Does this oil also have the same purpose on our inner core? And yes, I understand that oil is created from the remains of animals and plants that lived millions of years ago. Formed of a mixtures of hydrocarbons, compounds of carbon, and hydrogen. But, does this mixture lubricate or cool earths inner core?
If you think about it, while we continously use up this fossil fuel (clearly at a rate we couldn't possible replace). Could this be resposible for our climate change, increased earthquakes or other phenomenals? Just an interesting concept. So I looked over the internet for any related data, very little but I did find a whether engrossing forum on this topic. Take a look.....
What natural purpose does petrolium/oil serve for the Earth!

Lets just pray that this "Top Kill" works....cause this spill is threating to Kill everything on TOP!
