Accidents such as the Exxon Valdez are rare and CANNOT be attributed to the oil companies. If you want an example of where oil drilling and transportation technology is today, look at Katrina. Several oil rigs near the Louisiana coast were ripped from their moorings by that storm and not a drop of oil was spilled. THAT'S the current state of oil extraction and transportation today, NOT tired examples using the Exxon Valdez.
that whale was actually killed by a fully automatic assault rifle own by a guy with an self-combusting GM truck fuel tank.
Herds of little executive jets and jet-props have been flying over the house the past couple weeks. I assume they are carrying oil tycoons and politicians to NPR-A and Deadhorse/ANWR to make massive and secret business deals.
just look for the giant Cheney/Halliburton logo on the tail.
It’s been overcast and raining/drizzling all summer and the gardens are three weeks behind. If the sun were out the glare off the immaculately polished Halliburton exec jet would be blinding.
Isn't Red Square in Moscow?? Are we going to drill for oil in Moscow!!???
That makes shipment easy and fast - particularly when you consider the “it will take ten years to develop ANWR” argument ASSUMES that it will be drilled only 3 months a year - at the worst weather of north Alaska's midwinter.
And the turth shall make you fread.
The Moose can have the pool at that point, them things are scary!
Isn’t that pool made from petroleum products?
Notice: typos have increased dramatically since Bill Gates retired. It is his little joke: an undocumented Windows feature that changes your keystrokes according to a Word algorithm implemented two weeks ago as BG left the office for the last time.
Any port in a storm I guess; or any pool on a balmy day.
That is not the point at all. Drilling in ANWR isn't being blocked by any real concerns for the environment or that is what the enviro-weenies would talk about. Instead they talk about the "pristine environment filled with wildlife" which isn't exactly true. They speak of disrupting the mating of caribou which isn't true at all. They talk about the beauty of "the mountains" when the only mountains are many miles away.
And then there is the factual record that spills from drilling are very rare. And that human spills of petroleum are dwarfed by natural seepage. When the truth is examined environmental concerns have no significant point at all.
A week ago two moose calves were born in the yard. Can’t imagine anything cuter. Momma was spooky, got to say, but the calves were frisky, looking at everything, staying within sight of Mom. You could pick one up yourself they were so small.
thanks, bfl
buzz off troll
Did I post something that was false or inaccurate?
My point, as I clearly wrote is that E&P as well as transmission requires a great deal of precaution or you end up with a disaster such as the Exxon Valdez.
Unfortunately, E&P of ANWR opposed by both Obama and McCain.
