Hey BP it's been 30 fucking days!
 

I feel like becoming an eco-terrorist!

Someone better act ......

WASHINGTON ? Facing a growing furor over the monthlong Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the White House Friday named two environmentalists to lead a presidential commission investigating the disaster.

yes but if you listen very carefully you can hear the sucking sound...okay its the sound of Obama sucking BP's dick, but its a sucking sound nevertheless.

Live feed from bp (leak site)

I read somewhere that BP's next plan is to stuff hairnets and furr balls, or some such, into the leak.

Clearly they have no fucking plan and they never did :disgust

Once that stuff gets in the loop current, it will be everywhere from the East Coast to Europe... I don't think people realize how massive this spill is and how it's going to affect ecosystems worldwide.

Spanx!

I think you may have been under the impression that someone at BP Technologies ... gave a shit ... thanks and a .. fuck off mmmkay

I think they all give a shit. I also think they are totally clueless as to fixing this tragedy.

The technology to drill cannot surpass the technology to swiftly deal with ensuing problems. Or you just don't drill. No permit given.

yeah they care about me, and you !

There is some technology that could help it. There are safety valves they can put in line that are designed to stop things exactly like this. But the the Bush administration made it so that those valves were no mandatory because they cost about 500K each and BP chose not to use them on a volunteer basis.

So they could have contained it as it happened or very shorty after. They also have a few other measures that they assumed would work, but didn't so, as you say, if they don't use the valves their ability to fix a problem has not kept up with their drilling technology.

If somebody really cared, that permit would never have been issued for precisely that reason.

Anybody want to take bets now on whether British Petroleum will be compelled to do a real cleanup, or will they get away with a half-assed non-cleanup like Exxon did 20 years ago?

I think the real uproar will come when Florida's beaches get hit.


.

When we lose our tourist. You already have the local keywest newscast mentioning oil on the beaches, even if it's not.

All that bp cares about is for the oil not to reach the beaches.

I worry they will only attempt a visual cleanup and the chemicals they use to fight the crude will be worse than the oil.


.

Those wonerfull chemicals that are dispersing the oil?! Expect to find them in the fish we eat soon enough.

It's a monthlong spill - this is very serious. I read in another article that they were trying to stop the oil leak by throwing tires and golf balls into the leaking hole.

Yeah I read the same thing
That is some scary shit.

That's actually what I referred to when I spoke of furr balls and such. That's what's supposed to happen later this week.

Talk about grasping for straws. This is really lame shit :(

This will stop leaking when it runs out. They are not going to stop it.

Consider this...What if a major Hurricane Hits that area? Hurricane season is soon.

Guys the only way to stop this is by drilling relief wells. That takes 3 months at least. It has already been started. All this crazy ideas are just to make it look like they are doing something. All they can really do is try to contain the mess until the relief wells are done.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

this shit makes me fucking sad

theres gonna be alot more finger pointing once this hits the beaches hard

You had me at "eco-terrorism"...

BP's next idea will involve placing a small nuke at the leak and hoping for the best.

yep the beaches are closing, people have been out of work, dead animals on the shores.

fuck them all, may they die slow and painful, those responsible.

bullets.

eh.... that's just sad

They don't care. They will continue to make money through their other companies.

That is the only solution I can see for this.

I'm down here in Louisiana, and yesterday saw a bumper sticker with Obama and some other politicians on it, and it said "Shutup and Drill." It's sad, they think the terrorists win if we don't drill.

I don't think so. I presume you have seen video of the leak itself. If you have you would realize that there is no way in hell they are going to cap or fix this leak. Unless we want all of the oil in that deposit laying on our beaches we need to drill in other locations of the deposit to pull the oil out properly.

If we wait another two and a half months (and that's a minimum btw, it could take a lot longer) the beaches will be fucked in any case.

Don't laugh, it would seem that doing just that worked for the Russians no fewer than five times.

Heres's the Russian language report.

Of course, it's not gonna happen here but in the not too distant future we may all wish that Obama rolled the dice and gave it a try.

it is sad

You have a better idea?

The Russian method I just mentioned would most probably be far less devastating to the environment. Here's an indication that Obama at least toyed with the idea. Note that two of the scientists he sent down there were nuclear weapons experts.

In the end he'll elect to play it "safe" and do nothing though.

no to mention its hurricane season and they are fearfull that shit will be blown quite far inland fucking up more of the enviroment

Not according to FEMA. This is not even a disaster. Check their website ;)

yeah why haven't they blown up the leak already?

put explosives around the leak and blow it up so it plugs itself up.

If the solution to this problem is drilling another hole then ....... Why aren't oil companies required to drill 1-2 additional holes before something like this even happens?


.

Good question. Maybe they will from now on.

I hear ya on that. But what I was referring to is the people down here that think we need to drill for oil so we don't have to buy it from the "terrorists." They don't want this disaster to put any damper on the oil industry here. The bumper sticker I saw wasn't put on the SUV because the guy is concerned about fixing the problem, or the environment. It's all political redneck propoganda.

The politicians here suck down oil, alcohol, and tobacco industry cock like nothing else. I read the news here everyday and sometimes it is a fine line from reading the onion.

I never thought I would say this, but I agree with baddog.

Watching the video is tough too.

I see 3 leaks now btw (cam angle on cnn).

Whatever their reasoning, they are correct. We can not rely of foreign oil and we do rely on oil, and will for a very long time.

Actually what I want to know is why at this point are we letting BP still try to handle this. The Army Core Engineers should be on this by now as it's major disaster for the entire gulf coastal area and likely many more places with-in another month.

Fuck BP, blame them later, the shit needs to get fixed if BP can't do it then the govt needs to step in already.

Now there is talk of setting the wetlands on fire ...

There are a lot of dumb ideas floating around. The problem is, no one has ever dealt with anything like this before.
