So I guess this means that anything BP will do is futile until the relief well is done in 3 (4? 5? 6?) months. Good God, what a catastrophe. Pray for our planet.
As far as the planet is concerned this is about as worrisome as a Mosquito bite.
A thousand years from now there won't be any evidence at all of the oil spill unless some archaeologist digs down to discover it.
A 1000 years in relationship to the planet's life is akin to a second of your life.
The planet is fine and would be fine if a thousand such wells blew at the same time.
On the other hand humans and animals will have to tough it out for 4 or 5 years (after the oil leak is stopped)
The Democratic Party has determined that we need to separate God from politics.
BP can't stop the gusher and neither can Obama. Despite Obama's hope for change, we ARE a Christian nation, and it might be time for our leader to admit that we are helpless without God's help and LEAD our nation in prayer.
I"ll tell you he's earn respect from the Right if he did.... of course he'd annoy the left so that option is out. It's up to the professing Christians in the country to offer up prayers for God's immediate intervention Unless and until we ask God for help, God help us.
Matt Simmons, oil industry investor, oil company insider, author of “Twilight in the Desert” (peak oil problem) holds the opinion that the Macondo well will never be capped and projects decades of spewing oil. Alarmist?
But that's OK ... the "Sky is falling" apocalyptic screamers of "DOOM!!!" can rant and rave for two months ...
