I don't follow that soap opera tripe, only incidence of international concern tripe for me. Ostrich. | ||

So you shouldn't be surprised at this news, Markey's live cam web page is overloaded. Maybe he'll get some gubmentfundin' to widen the band width. It's live now, but I cannot access at least from this terminal... http://globalwarming.house.gov/spillcam | ||

Blake do you think Drug test will be Required to post on Bad WEB? It could lower blood pressures by limiting the dopers access LOL | ||

Is that the best you can do with your 124th post? Junior? | ||

Looks like the 'loop current' is changing. This might be good for Florida at the moment, but worse for the Gulf in the long run. Without flow, the mess will accumulate... http://www.roffs.com/deepwaterhorizon.html  (Message edited by hex on May 20, 2010) | ||

NICE PIC!! (my new desktop) If you stare at that pic for 60 seconds..... do you see dinasours? I only see dragons and Speed Racer's hair!! (Or is that Mick Jagger?!?!?!) DUDE!!! I seriously hope the hurricanes only come AFTER it's sealed/fixed. But I don't think mudd is gonna do it. Maybe just temporary. The re-drill will work....won't it? (I'm just messing with you Hex, I know you have far more intelligence than I) | ||

I see a Leviathan and a Giant Squid... BP and the Obama administration have said they did not want to take the measurements for fear of interfering with efforts to stanch the leaks. That decision, however, runs counter to BP's own regional plan for dealing with offshore leaks. "In the event of a significant release of oil," the 583-page plan says on Page 2, "an accurate estimation of the spill’s total volume . . . is essential in providing preliminary data to plan and initiate cleanup operations." Legal experts say there's another benefit for BP of not having a credible official estimate of the leak's size: the amount of oil spilled is certain to be key evidence in the court battles likely to result from the disaster. The size of the Exxon Valdez spill, for example, was a significant factor that the jury considered when it assessed damages against Exxon. “If they put off measuring, then it’s going to be a battle of dueling experts after the fact trying to extrapolate how much spilled after it has all sunk or has been carried away,” said Lloyd Benton Miller, one of the lead plaintiffs’ lawyers in the Exxon Valdez spill litigation. ”The ability to measure how much oil was released will be impossible.” “It’s always a bottom-line issue,” said Marilyn Heiman, a former Clinton administration Interior Department official who now heads the Arctic Program for the Pew Environment Group. “Any company wouldn’t have an interest in having this kind of measurement if they can help it.” http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/05/20/1640156/low- estimate-of-oil-spills-size.html | ||

The amount of oil BP PLC is siphoning from a massive leak on the floor of the Gulf of Mexico has declined to 2,200 barrels a day, a company spokesman said Friday.... http://online.wsj.com/article/SB100014240527487048 52004575258371387135554.html?mod=WSJ_latestheadlin es | ||

..."In 10 years we've got four convictions," Pascal said, referring to BP's three environmental crimes and a 2009 deferred prosecution for manipulating the gas market, which counts as a conviction under debarment law. "At some point if a contractor's behavior is so egregious and so bad, debarment would have to be an option...." http://www.propublica.org/feature/epa-officials-we ighing-sanctions-against-bps-us-operations | ||

Hex, you don't like BP? | ||

Does it matter at this point? Get ready, next week is going to be one hell of a roller coaster ride. "This is the worst environmental catastrophe in the history of the United States." Rep. Markey | ||

Blake did you notice no one with a mechanical back ground was listed on team list. DOE maybe looks like useless policy wonks. Oil in the ocean isnt the end of the world its messy nasty to the animals covered in it. Life adapts life always does. Try to stop weeds ,rats Cane toads etc Or keeping diesel fuel bio clean. Change is the only permanant thing about life. Hex Marine science was my first career I am well aware of the problems with spills. However running scared doesnt solve the problem. Nor does technological suicide. | ||

"This is the worst environmental catastrophe in the history of the United States." Rep. Markey I'm supposed to be surprised when a politician lies? I don't think so. I am, of course, still concerned for the workers on the coast and the GUMBO! | ||

Hex, you have totally hit rock bottom in this thread by quoting Rep. Markey for your arguments. Rep Ed Markey is the same libtard who co-sponsored the "Cap and Trade" Bill with Waxman. You do know that CAT is a disguised shell game meant to make a few people rich at the expense of hobbling the US economy and robbing everyone from the fruits of their labor, right? | ||

Hex what I have printed in this thread is the gospel truth, I worked many yrs in the blowout and recovery business whitch means not just junking them and walking off but puting them back on line and producing. most of there things I have seen. till you have been there and did it. you ane having to relie on some else that dont know any more about the oil industry than you. I realy did not want to print this but you seen to just want more serious trouble I am gussing it is to push your own personal agenda. you need to stop and think just what kind of mess this world would be in with no oil. | ||

But Cowboy, Demonizing the oil companies (Bankers, auto manufacturers, insurance companies, etc.) is just so much fun and can be done with so little actual information. There are also huge political points to be made by demonizing these companies. Never mind the hypocrisy of needing all of these companies products and services to make our daily lives possible. | ||

It saddens me to my very core so much so that I spent most of the day crying and fasting. Iam so angry mr obama would let this spill get so bad yet we throw so much manpower and money into Iraq and gitmo. The president and first lady used vast recources to travel to copenhagen to sell chicago to the olympics committee but I guess this spill is not lucrative enough for this administration. I think Iam going to call off work tomorrow to meditate and fast. Shame on this corporatist administration. | ||

Johonny--I am defantly not a obama fan I am a dedicated Republican but I am a fair and honost men beleave me there is not any thing to do that is not being done.This thing is a mile down on the floor of the Gulf I have seen the thinh go on for weeks and weeks on land where it is much easyer. | ||

Shame on this corporatist administration. Oh, that's what it's called? Hmm. ok. I'm not blaming Obama for the spill or the time involved in stopping the leak. He couldn't do it, doesn't have a clue. ( Bush the Elder would know how, his rolodex has the right numbers to call for that.. ) If you want to give this admin. a hard time for the response to the spill, I'm sure some is deserved, I'm still trying to figure out what the swat teams were for? The politicizing of the problem is really shameful, and the hype, re: "worst disaster ever ...dooooomed....DOOOMED!...." crap from people you'd think were adults, ( Senators, news shills, etc ) absurd. |
