BREAKING! Simmons Calls For Obama to Kick Out BP; Military To Nuke Oil Leak | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 938119 05/30/2010 04:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Certainly the sediment is thick. I am attempting to load up some sedimentary thickness and composition data located here. Quoting: MotherGoose[link to coastalmap.marine.usgs.gov] This may take awhile, but I should be able to provide at least some insight into the depth/thickness of the sediment, and the consistency of it. It can't all be pudding, it has to turn into something more solid as you go deeper. BTW that link has lots more data that might be useful, so anybody that has familiarity with GIS software should dig in and report back. I will do what I can. Sediment does NOT equal "bed rock!" Ok, sediment does not equal bedrock. However to pretend it is pudding also throws out your fault line junk. How can you have dangerous fault lines in some pudding? And again, the a few kiloton explosion is not going to trigger some massive volcanic crumbling of the faults in the area. Anyways, I am signing up with ERSI right now and will download the GIS Explorer for linux and attempt to get that installed. I will be back here with real data but it may not be for awhile. |

Most of you folks have no connection to reality and lack even a cursory understanding of physics or any other science. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 985651They are talking about putting a nuke in the bedrock, somewhat next to the tube that brings the oil up, then detonating the nuke so that it pushes the rock over and collapses the tube. They can set the nuke to be only as powerful as needed. There would be little noticable shock even at the sea floor, let alone at the surface or shore. People greatly overestimate the power of a nuclear bomb when buried deep underground. If this is so easy and safe, why haven't they done it already? Sorry MG! This looks like your quote when in fact it was quoted by an AC! No problem! :Group-Hug: |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 975904on the video from about 4 minutes into the footage, Mike Williams says that they were drilling a well nearby and because they were told to 'speed things up', the well fractured and they abandoned that well and started drilling a new well nearby so perhaps this is the well that is nearby and leaking heavily?

But, we are all responsible for this. Every time we pump gas into our vehicles and anything else. Every time we use any petroleum based products like most plastics. We support the BPs of the world. If we stopped using oil based products they would all go out of business. Pumping oil out of the Earth should be criminalized! It's like leaching blood from your mother! Mother Earth. Mother Earth meant for the oil to stay within it's depths, just as blood is meant to stay within our bodies. We in our greed have been sucking this substance out of the Earth. What for? So we can live in more comfort than we need. So we can make more money for objects we don't really need. For satisfying our insatiable Egos! This is a sign, that enough is enough!!! We are being told to wake up or we will lose our home the Earth. This is nothing compared to what bigger disasters await us if we don't act now! It is all in our own hands! If you don't feed evil, evil will die! So stop pointing at the evil and blaming it, while constantly feeding it with the other hand. Just stop feeding it. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 854379There is 2 miles of earth between the ocean floor and the oil deposit, so about a mile or so deep sounds about right to me. That deep it would hardly be a "POOF" on the sea floor. It's 6.6 miles Whered you get 6.6 miles? I thought it was roughly 18,000 feet below seabed. That would be about 3.4 miles. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 983468 05/30/2010 06:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Some of you who think Matt Simmons is a "good guy" and is just offering his expertise are clearly retarded. Not only is he a CFR member and an oil industry investment banker, but he's also a control freak sicko elite who likes placing nasty little wagers with other elites against mankind. For instance, check his wikipedia page. He placed a wager in 2005 with other elites that the price of oil would hit $200 per barrel in 2010. What year is this? Yeah, time is running out on his little wager. But he still has a chance to win if he does enough manipulating. And since he's an oil industry investment banker who is pushing the nuke option, he's certainly perfectly positioned to make a bundle off of this situation going horribly wrong. He's a Peak Oil guy, so his goal is less oil, not more oil. Irradiating the gulf would definitely cause less oil for a very long time. This is how elites get their jollies. They've already got all the money in the world, so they wager on doom, often related to eugenics. One of the people that he placed that wager with is Rita Simon, the widow of Julian Simon. Now check his wikipedia (Julian Simon) and look at the kind of wagers that he had going. This sicko was wagering on the increasing amounts of nitrous oxide in the atmosphere having measurable detrimental effects on human welfare. How fun! Nice, huh? What kind of person does that? The same kind of control freak elites who the mainstream media present as experts in order to convince you that nuking the gulf is the only solution. So the morale of the story is this: If the MSM offers "an expert" to sell you on an idea or concept, you'd better look into that person before you just decide that they're trying to help, because all they're really trying to do is help minimize the number of useless eaters on the planet and benefit from your suffering and/or demise. Sadly enough, the nuke option will probably be utilized. It seems to be already set into motion and probably has been from the start. Now they're just trying to popularize it so that the masses of sheep beg for the gulf to be nuked. "Oh please nuke our gulf! Please kill all of our fish and create a tsunami that washes all of the oil and dispersants onto our shores and further inland! Blast the toxic water up into the atmosphere so that it rains down on our gardens and crops! Hopefully it will also contaminate all of our drinking water and lakes and streams and......." Good luck with that. Doom is about to become reality. Be careful what you wish for. |
