A recent study by the Land Institute shows that tarballs from the leaking oil pipeline may actually help the economies on the Gulf Coast. When asked how far they would travel to see a "tar ball," respondents actually gave an average of fifty miles farther then the distance they would travel to see Disneyworld.
So, although the hatch to cover the leak did not work, maybe this whole thing will have a silver lining and pull some of our red-states out of the economic doldrums.
People in my city spend a lot of money to see the La Brea Tar Pits Museum, and it just has a small amount of tar. It seems to me that the bigger the tarball, the better.
I'd pay to see that!
