This Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill and all Oil spills are totally unnecessary, because we don't need Oil.
There is more Hydrogen in the Oceans that are all around nearly every nation, than all the Oil, Coal, or Uranium in the world. We can use Hydrogen to run our cars, factories, homes, and power plants, today. If we only made using the abundant and zero emission technologies of Hydrogen, Solar, and Wind, a priority, we wouldn't need to use Oil, Coal, or Nuclear, or have Oil spills or wars for Oil.
This Oil spill is the result of bad oversight of the US Government and BP, but it is also the Green people's fault!
A lot of Green people have been talking about "Efficiency" as their main weapon against Climate Change. They are totally wrong and this spill proves it. By making efficiency a primary concern and not the secondary one that it should be and still using Oil and Coal slightly less, it has taken people's eye off the ball. Because "efficiency" is not what is killing the planet, pollution is.
Those Birds and our Beaches are not covered with Efficiency! They are covered with Oil Pollution. Also Efficiency is not giving your kids asthma, Coal emissions are.
Actually our focus on Efficiency is causing Oil spills and is killing the Planet, because we have been putting our brains, time, and money on finding ways to continue to use Oil and Coal, instead of putting our brains, time, and money on using existing technology to become 100% zero emission. That is why we are still talking about changing stupid light bulbs - 40 years after the start of Earth Day, and why we are still drilling for Oil and having spills, and removing mountain tops to get Coal!
If we all were energy independent, energy abundant, and zero emission, it would not matter if we wasted energy or if we used it inefficiently!
President Obama and other people are only talking about "reducing" emissions not eliminating them, and only using domestic Oil instead of foreign Oil, 80% by 2050. This is a very stupid goal and because it doesn't do anything to save the planet, because even after waiting for another 40 years we will still be polluting.
If you were covered with Oil, would you rather have 10 or 20% less Oil on you, or would you rather have 100% less Oil on you? Do you want to be fully Clean, or just Cleaner?
Do you want our beaches only 20% cleaned up? or would you rather they be 100% cleaned and restored?
Do you want only 10-20% less Oil spills?, or would you rather have 100% less Oil spills?
If someone was poisoning your children, would only reduce the rate they were poisoning them, by 20% over 13 years, or would you slap it out of their hand and stop them from poisoning your children, 100%, right now?
We have to stop being satisfied with Green baby steps, spineless goals, efficiency, and only reducing the rate we pollute ourselves.
We can and we must go all the way and Go Clear with Zero Pollution from Solar, Wind, and Hydrogen, because as we all can see from this Gulf Oil spill, our economy, our ways of life, our food supply, our air and water quality, and the future of Humanity and the Planet, depends on it.

The Pollution and Damage of Oil and Natural Gas Drilling are Evil and Totally Unnecessary!
Go All the Way and Go Clear Instead of Only Going Green, My Challenge to the Environmental Community to Speak and Act More Powerfully
Bio-Fuels are a Band-Aid and Not a Real Solution to Climate Change nor our Energy Independence, Hydrogen, Solar, Wind, and Water are Better
Global Conversion to the Hydrogen Economy, Fueled by Solar, Wind, and Water = Zero Emission Energy Independent Homes, Cars, Boats, Trucks, Trains, Planes, Factories, and Planet
Universal Hydrogen, Solar, and Wind Instead of Universal Nuclear Bombs and End Nuclear Energy, too
Solar - Electrical and Passive Heating
Wind Energy
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars are the Real Deal Hybrids
People would be Outraged if They Were Educated About the Benefits of Using Hydrogen to Power Their Homes and Cars
We Don’t Have to Wait Another 20 Year to Start Using Hydrogen, Because We Can Store It Right Now
Burning Hydrogen, Instead of Oil, Coal, or Natural Gas
Desalinate Seawater, Then Resalinate the Oceans
Water Pipelines Instead of Oil Pipelines
