What if the BP Gusher in the Gulf is Unstoppable?

WASHINGTON

Congressman
Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) today made the following statement on the Floor
of the House of Representatives about the BP oil spill in the Gulf of
Mexico:

"What if the BP gusher in the Gulf is unstoppable?
"This
is the challenging question that is making its way through various
blogs. What if millions of barrels of oil continue to flow
uncontrolled from the hole in the seabed?
"We
should be preparing now for a worst case scenario. We should be
mobilizing our nation now and developing new comprehensive plans for
sustainable, alternative energy, for environmental protection, for
public health, for preservation of species, for security, for
rebuilding our economy and repairing commerce.
"We
should be challenging our fellow citizens and ourselves to take part in
charting a new course for our nation towards creating an America that
has unlimited energy because it has unlimited vision, unclouded by
greed or partisan advantage."
