The Deep Water Horizon BP blowout and things we must come to terms with....

Watch them cut through the power cord next.

The Gulf provides about 30% percent of the oil that the US uses.

Think about it. What's going to happen when that flow is halted? How many people are going to be laid off, what happens to the price of crude-which rockets up and down based on *fears*?

Thank you for the detailed overview. Sawing off that riser will be some gutsy move. But they will have to try something.

What amazes me, is that they can feed up live, streaming video from advanced ROV's but cannot stem this flow in one way or another. Yes, it is difficult, I can guess that, but really, there must be some really bright people in that industry that could come to gripes with this challenge.

Till then, if we get to then, it is indeed going to be interesting, for they are trying. Have to give them some sort of credit for that.

I think it was an ex Shell engineer that said they should have had tanker after tanker sucking up the crude from the surface RIGHT from the start. No, it would not solve the issues, but would have stopped A LOT of oil from reaching shores.

This is just one example of what is certainly an easier situation to look at with hind-sight. With this said, I would hope and expect that BP and the government are listening to ALL ideas, especially from other oil and gas exploration firms.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THEY CAN'T FIT A TAPERED HOSE INTO THE LEAKING PIPE AND GET ABOUT 95% OF THE OIL TO GO THOUGH IT, UP TO THE SURFACE AND TO AN OIL TANKER?

it's going to be bad...

jun.1, which is predicted to be a intense, we have to get off oil, my buddy just converted his diesel Truck, to burn grease.

Because it's leaking from multiple jagged holes all over the place.

this is a Navel operation, bring in the navy and
the world's leading experts and then get the fuck out
of the way.

this is the only solution!

Really SHR? REALLY?

You seriously think the well pipe itself could not be collapsed with a few drill holes and some charges. I aint talking about no stupid nukes. Just some holes and some charges. You should be smart enough to know the well pipe itself can be collapsed.


BP just chooses not to do it because of the cost involved with drilling a new well....

And we all suffer for their greed.

Right now this is just a US problem. Soon it shall be Mexicos problem... then the Caribbean, then into the atlantic.



Money money money, its so funny, in a world gone wrong!


Money! Money is where its at. This oil spill, irrespective of what you say SHR, "could" be stopped. We have the inteligence, the ways and the means, but it would be far to costly for BP. Because they know very well that this little "incident" can be cost covered by the monster itself that caused it. And then, all they have to do is declare sovereign immunity like Exon, to get out of that whole little fiasco of having to pay the literal billions in compensation to all those who have lost their livlyhoods, homes and communities. But if they close the well now, after paying all that money to open it in the first place, well now, that just wouldnt be very cost effective. There ARE ways of going about this, that we can be certain. Im a firm believer that there is a solution to every problem but BP dont want to hear it because the only way to stop this will inevitably shut down their financial answer to this problem.

Drill a well beside this current one. Fill it with high grade non-nuclear explosives and press the boom box. Its really that simple, and anyone who says otherwise is lying! The force of the explosion would cause massive amounts of rock to crush the existing pipeline and hey presto, problem solved for earth, but big problem caused for BP.

But not to worry. Obama and his busload of cleaner uppers are out in full force.



Another ((((((((((((Idiot))))))))))))))



Wow, now who looks like an idiot. Slandering others on a board with a one word response.


Heckler.

Come with the goods now or stfu Anonymous "coward".


Ok nukes and bombs are just plain batshit crazy, this seems to be a typical response - ((got a problem ? nuke it!))
Forget that whole rational, because its more a question of an elephant balancing on a tea cup, made of bone china
Bombs will only fracture the rock strata weakening the sea floor and making things worse, at the same time this deposit could be seated next to a volcano, this problem needs to be approached with surgical precision, not the blunted blast of a bomb, get real, this requires a serious fail safe strategy.

The Golf Ball solution is a scam.

The Golf Balls are markers. Their goal with this method is to be able to trace the speed and the direction of the spread of the Oil flow. It also allows them to trace where

This has nothing to do with blocking the pipe or anything like that.

Markers, that's what they are. Nothing more.
