Ian Somerhalder talks to Zap2it about the oil spill in Louisiana.
Check it all out here.
Here is an excerpt:
“I’ve been working in Grand Isle, which is sort of Ground Zero right now,” Ian says. “Basically, the entire area is shut down. Everyone from the waitress who serves you breakfast to the guy who owns the charter boat to the shrimpers – they all literally rely on the ocean to keep their industry going. They’re shaking in their boots right now, because their industry is dead. Think about how frightening it is when you suddenly, though no fault of your own, can’t feed your children or pay your mortgage.”
He continues, “All of this happened due to human error – the error is cutting corners, saving money at the expense of safety measures, and a nonexistent regulatory commission. The [U.S. Minerals Management Service] gets royalties from the oil industry. How is that any kind of regulatory body?”
