GULF SHORES, AL - JULY 04: Summer Miller, 5, and her mother Tammy James walk along a beach which was not as busy as last year as people stayed away due to the threat of contamination from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico on July 4, 2010 in Gulf Shores,Alabama. The oil spill may have a huge negative economic impact on gulf coast businesses during what should be a busy 4th of July. Millions of gallons of oil have spilled into the Gulf since the April 20 explosion on the drilling platform. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)
