Oil Spill Disaster Keeps Growing

Yikes! Now it's a estimated at  million gallons a day, with no end in sight, and it could get worse: there is a reservoir of "tens of millions" of barrels according to a company insider (that's tens of millions of barrels, not gallons; 42 gallons per).
This might just kill the Gulf before it's over, turn the whole thing into a dead zone.
And it will likely flow into the Gulf Stream, proceed down along Florida's west coast, through the keys, then up to Miami and on up the Atlantic coast to the Jersey Shore and Long Island and beyond, to Europe. And it will keep flowing, until someone figures out a way to stop it.
Tell me again, how this is less expensive than going with renewable energies?
