UPDATE:  I hate to do this, but it’s gonna be 2010AUG11 or 2010AUG12 before the next update.  Just keep lurking.  I’ll be back with inspiration and information and other stuff.

Will the oil spill jobs be able to save delicious Gulf oysters for places like Felix’s (pictured here) in New Orleans and the Tens of Thousands of places like them in southeast Louisiana?

The answer is obviously:  I don’t know.  And nobody else does either.

But just to get a little more idea what we’re dealing with, and how the oil spill workers would be essential in cleaning the area where the oysters are cultivated, take a look at this map of the oyster beds:

As you can see, the oyster beds are highlighted in red.  Now, there is oyster cultivation going on in all the states surrounding the Gulf of Mexico, but Louisiana – by several orders of magnitude – has the biggest and most active area of operation for oyster farming.

Oil Spill Jobs update later today! Stay tuned…

Does that seem dramatic?  Does that title seem exaggerated?  Well, it’s not.

Just take a look at this video about an oil spill that happened 10 years ago in Brazil.  You’ll be able to draw some quick parallels between the plight there and the oil spill tragedy saga that’s just beginning here.

LATE BREAKING NEWS!  In case you haven’t heard already, the US Gov’t confirmed today that this oil spill was the biggest oil accident in history.  The busted well leaked about 5 million BARRELS.  There are 42 gallons in each barrel, so that’s about 210 MILLION gallons of leaked oil.

(For comparison, that 0.16% of the amount leaked oil in this video from Brazil.)

What’s going to happen to the Gulf of Mexico?  What’s going to happen to the Southeastern United States?  I don’t know.  What I do know, thought, is that the continued need for oil spill cleanup workers and general oil spill jobs will be pivotal in how this oil spill turns out.  If there are enough brains working on solutions and enough qualified, trained oil spill job holders to the necessary remediation work – we will win!  The Gulf will get clean.  The fishermen and shrimpers will go back to work.  The vacationers will come back to pile into the ocean.  Life will go back to normal.

Here’s the video.  It’s good:

I thank you for your continued interest in the BP oil spill jobs and the Gulf oil spill recovery.  It’s going to take ten of thousands of oil spill jobbers if not hundreds of thousands of train oil workers participating in oil spill employment to save the Gulf
