It’s awful, of course. And yet it happens again AND again. Maybe more measures of precaution are needed?
it was unfortunate but everyone is at fault when we continue our dependence on fossil fuels instead of embracing less harmful energy sources
You are so right, Tiffany. Daily, I ponder about Americans’ addiction to fossil fuels – harming selves and even killing for it, “How can we do this to each other?” Thank you for understanding. Now, I’m in a 100% solar car crossing the country to prove we do NOT have to kill ourselves with cancer and other environmental diseases from fossil fuels, or kill poor innocent people in other countries for their oil and gas. The new Leap is selling like hotcakes in California = all electric.
Extremely unfortunate and lacking in skills to have that happen.
Its sad for many people to have happened.
The Gulf Oil disaster was just one of many—and they will continue as long as we allow corporations to control our politics.
I agree, Sue. But it will also continue as long as We The People do not rally for safe, healthy, renewable energy. That would empower us over corporate rule, not what “they” want, but what would be more democratic and healing.
I know the ads on TV are too good to be true, but do you think they are going to let us know?
I think that it is a very sad thing.
These vile money-grubbing companies and individuals want to depopulate the gulf coast for their own reprehensible purposes. People need to wake up and hopefully your book will help. Good Luck, to all of us.
It could have been prevented if not for corporate greed.
I agree with what you say, “it could have been prevented if not for corporate greed”. I would add to that statment and point out that there is a much more sinister agenda than …the root of evil…greed…it is very obvious to me as I see the tree blows in the invisable wind ….it is so very obvious and insidious. ~Kathleen A Lilly
I live on the Gulf and I hate what BP did to us.
Our Father who is God of all things knows your pain and suffering of oppression by the hand of the opposer. let this be for you a crown of endurance and overcome the world. When we are hurt, or fall we find a strength in understanding our weekness and become stronger ~Kathleen A Lilly
I think it is horrible. We have enough destruction in the world. Ruined the water and the wildlife some we may never get to enjoy again. They should be held responsible for it.
We visited the Gulf area last January. According to everything we heard there, the clean-up was a success and everything was fine. We both have studied environmental issues and programs and have degrees in which they are used. We found it hard to believe things could have been wrapped up so easily and so soon. While walking the beaches in the State Park near Panama City, we found them littered with tar balls of various sizes. No attempt is being made to collect them and clean the beach. Who knows what is out of sight on the bottom of the ocean and what is back in the salt marshes. The damage is long term and much more serious than we have been led to believe. I am very interested in reading Vampire of Macondo and seeing just what you found out.
Best of luck with your blog tour and the book’s release.
I grew up on the Gulf Coast so it was a really disturbing time for me and a lot of people I know. It’s hard to comprehend the magnitude of the event until it affects you personally, and then you really sit up and take notice of what we’re doing to the planet.

I believe that oil spills are a terrible thing for the areas effected and they will continue to be a problem as long as this country is dependent on oil.
It was handled very badly and could have been stopped earlier if the Gov’t had let the ships that offered, help. They waited way too long to do anything constructive about it.
It’s a tragedy. I keep seeing commercials that the Gulf has recovered and is open for tourism, but I wonder about the safety of the beaches.
I think that it was a tragedy that could have been prevented if proper measures had been taken. Like most companies, they don’t worry about things until they are spilled.
I absolutely hate that it happened and hope nothing like that ever happens again
I believe that it’s corporate negligence that led to the spill. We need to learn how to grow past our dependence on fossil fuels.
I think it’s very sad. I hope they figure out a way to better prevent these spills in the future.
Only one thing will prevent these disasters: public demand for renewable energy. Until then, people addicted to fossil fuels will perpetuate the cycle of addictive abuse, causing harm to others and self, causing others and self to suffer and die prematurely. Harsh words, I know, but that’s the way it is, my friends.
It sickens and saddens me that situations like that (that are preventable) happen.
Its very unfortunate, and shouldn’t have happened.
I live in Florida, and the effects of the spill were horrific. But what disturbs me just as much is what I see as a new trend…..big business paying billions in fines to buy their way out of criminal charges.
Agreed, BookAttic! It’s a reflection of fascism in America when a corporation pleads guilty to manslaughter of 11 men – and simply pays a fine for it. What would happen to you if you or any non-corporate American killed one man and pled guilty?
Would be interested in reading.
the oil spill was a tragedy. i live in houston and it effected so many people here and along the coast.
Saminder – it impacted in Houston? I’d love to hear more from you on that.
Think ti is about time we fix the idea that we can pollute the ocean

That was one of the most horrible spills, I believe they cleaned it up but a lot of animals died.
Not only did they not clean it up, it’s still leaking – undeniably now – with BP fingerprints. But corporate media is not emphasizing this fact.
It was bound to happen!
it probably could have been avoided, but you know how things go. i think it is tragic and feel awful about all the damage.
pepperpenn42 at gmail dot com
Crisis’ like that are inevitable with the way society lives at present.
A very unfortunate thing that happened and could have been avoided
Yes, this was/is a manmade catastrophic event – no accident, as “spill” infers – and far more than a “disaster” as media continues to portray.
A huge political nightmare
It seems that it will happen time and time again. I wish someone would explain clearly why oil companies seem to make lots of money yet are given money by the US. If nothing else, that money should go to more precautions or clean up.
Stacy O – I hope and pray you will read Vampire of Macondo to see the answer to your excellent query here. Thank you.
It was such a terrible thing for the people who live in the area. Not only did it devastate the wild life and everything else of that nature but it also destroyed the livelihoods of so many people.
It makes me sad and I hope something like this will never happen again
I thought it was really sad, I felt bad for all of those animals that died or were covered in oil.
I thought it was sad and tragic Hope fully they will continue efforts to come up with a way to clean it up quickly without harm..Thanks for this giveaway!
I think it is terrible. I hate needless pollution.
It’s awful and I hope it doesn’t happen again. It was something I feel could have been and can be prevented.
Allie, It will happen again and again until we, the people say no more and use renewable energy sources Mother Nature gave to us – with heaps of job opportunities that would go along with it.
I think it was a terrible thing and I cant imagine living down there and having to deal with it first hand. I think it def couldve been handle better also
It’s a terrible thing and more should really be done to prevent things like this from happening.
It makes me sad that things like this can and do happen.
Thank you for an awesome giveaway!
It’s so tragic. It makes me angry that companies can get away with poisoning entire communities and never pay a cent for it. Taxpayers pay for the “clean up” (which is so rudimentary it boggles the mind – if you can’t clean up your mess, maybe you shouldn’t risk making it in the first place), and we continue to hand out government contracts to these companies.
The fact that this continues happening, and so few people even realize it, is just… sad. Good on for getting the word out there, Deborah!
Ashley – Thank you for expressing your gratitude about my work. You are quite unique that way, and much appreciated after 2 and 1/2 years of work on this book.
I got the chance to go down to Grand Isle not long after, and I saw the rescue tents set up along the sandbar where they brought in the animals for cleaning. It broke my heart.
I am from the Tampa Bay area and what happened to the animals is terrible.
Jennifer Golub recently posted..Kindle Fire HD Giveaway February 2013
It’s awful, of course.
I think it’s a tragedy and a call for help. My belief is that we need to look into new scientific developments to help control oil spills and safely eliminate oil contamination in these situations.
I thinks its a great tragedy.
Spill is unfortunate and I can;t believe these things still happen.
That is unfortunate, and we should do something to prevent it from happening again.
I think it is so tragic, and it seems like we don’t care enough to prevent something like this from happening again.
I think that it is a shame but no big surprise, as spills of such magnitude have happened before and destroyed the environment. The real cause of the problem is the monopoly of the oil companies and our dependence on oil fuel, and until that problem is solved these kind of spills and environmental disasters will likely happen again.
I think it was a tragedy but I do believe we should find better ways to tap into our own energy sources so we are not so reliant on foreign oil.
I think it’s sad. And what’s worse is I don’t think enough people care.

It makes me mad and sad! It was carelessness of the company!

I really believe this specific blog , “Guest Post/Virtual Tour
with Giveaway ~ Deborah Dupre”Accieee very interesting plus it was
in fact a terrific read. Thank you,Carrie
I think it’s horrible and there should be more preventive measures set up to keep this from happening again.
It was very sad. Hopefully nothing like that will happen again.
it was sad and tragic.i love animals and i hated seeing how many died and how many were covered in oil.
It made me cry…I am homebound but do all I can by donating and signing petitions on the internet. I say make them pay up big time!!!
The loss of life was tragic. The damage to the environment will last for a long time. I hope it will encourage folks to see alternative energies.
It was very sad, I hope companies will take extra precautions in the future so something like that will not happen again.
Its very tragic and should never have happened.
The oil spill was such an unfortunate event.
It is a sad and very unfortunate event. Steps need to be taken to ensure that this does not happen again because it has happened over and over again and needs to stop.
Very sad
It’s a very sad thing that happened.
The BP spill was very unfortunate. The area is still trying to recover.
The entire situation is heartbreaking. Very sad, sad! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway

I live near the coast and it was so tragic for the people that make their living from the Gulf. I was shocked at how long it took to contain it.
You actually put together some remarkable stuff inside ur blog post,
