You know we really should have expected this, it's god's wrath. First he attempted to smite the NOLA area with Katrina, and now it's an epic oil spill, personally I think locusts are coming next.
The moral of the story is don't **** your sister and this shit won't happen!

You guys see the projections for this spill? Looks like every part of the coast from New Orleans to Tampa Bay is going to be hit with the oil spill.

DOD calls out the National Guard
http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/04/30/lou...pt=T1&iref=BN1 First the oil company told us its only 1000 barrels a day leaking. Couple of days later they revised it 5000 barrells a day. Now some are saying the oil company is trying to hide the actual number, that 5000 barrells a day doesn't spread this fast, they think its 25,000 barrells leaking out a day and no hope to stop it for at least 90 days.

I hear several bitching. Can't wait for the $4 barrier to hit our town now. It jumped from 2.59 to 2.89 in just a few days here.

Actually 90 days is probably the longest option on the table (relief well). The containment domes being built currently could happen within 3 to 4 weeks but nobody knows if they will be effective at 5,000 ft. There are some proposals on the table that might be able to end this within a week or so but a large degree of luck will be required, ie using available equipment in a manner it isn't exactly designed to do. |

The weird thing is that BP is the most "green" Big oil company in the world.

Without getting into the details too much, while BP is the lease holder of the well, the failure will probably be attributed to Cameron (BOP) or Halliburton (cementing of casing). BP had little to do with the actual activities that were going on at the time of this disaster.

I live in Pensacola...I will post pictures when this bullshi**starts to hit our pristine white beaches. The Governor of Florida has already begun to enforce the anti-price gouging rules that come along with hurricanes, but that isn't going to do much once tourists stop coming because what was once beautiful is now sickening.

If we had taken our heads out of our asses decades ago, we would have built nuclear reactors for electric power and could have avoided much of the oil drilling, coal mining and natural gas exploration and production with which we must continue until we get our minds right.

But, they'll also be liable for lost revenue from all the industries they're about to **** up. So they're up for a few billions in damages. Hope they have a nice insurance policy. |
