Good news for now but I’m afraid we are still going to lose may of the estuaries along the Gulf Coast.
And with all the oil in the Gulf, the BP people need to be tarred and feathered.
Kinda curious, why is a british company doing the drilling in our gulf?
I would not limit that sentiment to just BP. Apparently NONE of the oil companies had a contingency for this situation. What surprises me is that an Exxon-Mobil or a Shell didn't offer BP a solution they had on the shelf for just such a situation. That tells me none of them were prepared for this and it's possible this could have happened to any of them. I say possible because we still don't know the full details of what happened and whether an Exxon-Mobil or a Shell would have gotten themselves in such a predicament.
Don’t overlook the fact that the Feds were SUPPOSED to have on-hand, a large supply of “fire booms” (not sure that’s what they’re called, but they’re used to corral and burn the oil) by order of a 1999 law requiring them to be stored in case of oil leak emergency. Hmmm.. The Feds never purchased them. How convenient for the pro-green movement.
People like you are the reason we aren't drilling for oil in more areas. We are not going to lose anything because of this oil. So far none(or very little) has reached the coast and none of the doomsday crap that has been predicted for this oil leakage has come about nor will it. The Ocean is taking care of the oil. most of the stuff coming up from the leaks is evaporating the rest is heavy asphalt and is sinking to the bottom. Take your hate of oil comapanies over to DU, I am sure they will agree with you. BTW, Bozo the WH clown oked this drilling and OKed the procedures that were used to drill this well. If you want to tar and feather someone start with the frickin' idiot in the WH>
