Thinking of carry_okie here....he might have some ideas.

Too many of them, unfortunately. I've been on vacation (first in 20 years) so I haven't been following this one closely.

With cap and raid in the offing, BP may see more opportunities in crooked "renewables" than in oil. That said, they need prices to be high enough to make those investments pencil. Hence, with a general recession under full swing, a huge find of light crude near the Gulf Coast is the one thing they do not need, as it would depress pricing considerably. So a massive debacle with a consequent environmental crash would justify a ban on "deep water drilling" and be just the ticket. That it removes one more source of food for ConUS as delivered by independent small businesses is a twofer.

What that means is that it will be open season for the ChiComs, Brazilians, etc., which is exactly what the Globalists want anyway.

I watched the Senate hearings on corext yesterday. The one thing the panel had to say besides "dump grant money on us" was the token NGO supposed advocate "for the oceans" to drone on about the absolute requirement for a ban on drilling and "retraining" all those workers for a domestic renewable energy market.

Funny, she had almost nothing to say about marine biology...

When the one Gulf Coast scientist quietly reminded her that the Gulf adsorbs the equivalent of an Exxon Valdiz EVERY YEAR in natural seeps that are themselves a source of nutrition for the base of the marine biological pyramid, well, it was sort of a circus.

You have me checking my tinfoil supply.

There were certainly some very questionable happenings in that Blow Out.

The one that stands out to me is displacing the mud with sea water,.... And there were a lot of BP Executives visiting the well...very little has been said about them....
