In Brenna's blog, she compared two articles she found online regarding drilling for oil under water.
She presented two articles from very valid sources and explained her opinion of both the articles.
I thought her blog was interesting and very convincing. She explained how one article just talked about profits, while the other article laid out the facts and true harms of underwater drilling.
In the beginning of her blog, Brenna mentions the recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Measures being taken to address the spill are in an article I found on MSNBC. It looks like barely anything is being done to address such a catastrophe. I think what shocks me most though is that within the next two years they are leasing a new oil drilling sight off the coast of Virginia. It worries me that something like the oil spill in New Mexico could happen so close to home in the near future. Brenna was right in saying that drilling for oil offshore is not safe and not worth the damages it causes to the environment.
