IcerocketDear President Obama, members of Congress, and elected leaders of the United States of America,We, the undersigned, recognize your commitment to addressing the Gulf spill but ask you to go still further than you have in your approach. The people of the United States elected you to represent us, and now we ask you to galvanize our nation not only to clean up the oil and to repair the damage but to use this moment to call the American people to our next leap as a country.
This disaster holds the potential to catalyze one of the greatest transformations our nation has known. It illuminates in graphic and brutal terms what we all know in our hearts: we need to end the era of oil as the primary economic foundation for our lives and our country.
The oil economy not only harms the environment. It props up repressive regimes. It inflames wars and provokes violence. Oil is overheating our planet and soiling our lives and it is time to end its reign over people, policies, and planet.

Yellow Sea
— Jul 27, 2010
China's famous Yellow Sea is having oil leak into it and changing its color from a pipeline explosion. China jumped right on the problem and took out a personal unsecured loan to have vassals soak up as much oil as possible. The Gulf of Mexico is much larger than China's spill, but China's is nevertheless huge for that country. China is now doing everything they can to get the oil out of the sea.They don't want to come to a point where the oil slick will reach other oceans.
