Are there any crack reporters out there who are investigating the cause of this explosion? Amazing how incurious they are.

Lots of investigation, but with a sunken rig and a priority on stopping the leak and containing the spill, information on original problem will be a while before settled.

I’m wondering how many wind turbines, hybrid cars, electric cars, high speed trains, solar energy collectors and geothermal power plants are going to have to be placed into service in order to counter the negative atmospheric side effects of burning all this oil?

Kind of like the Icelandic volcano, no media I heard or saw ever discussed the greenhouse-gas emission element of the eruption.

The miniscule effect of environmentalists’ planned efforts would stand out too clearly

Mighty curious timing for this explosion, eh? Last time something like this happened was in the '60s, right?

All of a sudden we've got Congresscritters reversing their "pro drill" stance.

It's like the airport body scanners. Prior to the "underwear bomber", nobody wanted these things. Now, they're clamoring for them left and right.

Methinks we're being played.
