What Happens When The Oil Reaches Cuba?


The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) provides daily updates on the forecast path of the British Petroleum oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The latest forecast shows it as possibly getting very near to Cuba. It would be surprising if it did not eventually cause environmental damage in Cuba.

Cuba is now beginning to drill for oil in it's offshore part of the Gulf of Mexico. The first area to be explored is north of Cuba, i.e. quite near to Florida. What happens if one of their wells eventually go ballistic like this BP well?

Before we face these situations heads will be much cooler and saner. While everyone can still think clearly it would be wise to sit down and openly discuss these issues.
