What needs to be done now is go onto plan B. Which is building giant funnel and sucking machines to gather the oil as it come up. This gulf oil disastor gusher probably alone could supply enough oil for the world for 20 years. So they could just shut down all other oil drilling all over the world. |

COrizon User ID: 990018 United States 06/18/2010 01:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't know for sure how many relief wells were used to stop the Valdez spill. I do know it was more than 2. I hope these relief wells do stop the leak but I'm not holding my breath. Quoting: Anthony77373Who drilled holes into the SHIP the EXXON Valdez??? MAYbe thats why it was leaking ??? Remember, Remember 11 September The Gun powder, Treason and Plot I know of NO reason why the gun powder treason should ever be forgot.

Quoting: BOWMANLunatics all over this site making it 1000x worse than it actually is. Same deal in 1979 went on for 9 months, if GLP was around back then and 24-7 news it would be a carbon damn copy. No long term doom came of that one, nor will it from this one. Mother nature is also pretty darn good at cleaning this stuff on its own over time. Could you go into a little more detail about what happened in 1979? Where did the spill/leak occur? How did they stop it? What, if any, were the long term affects of the oil in the local environment? Here's a thread on the 1979 spill for starters... Thread: Same oil leak happened in 1979..Same time, same company..same stupid fixes... ------ Thanks checking out the link and video now |
germanbini User ID: 934453 United States 06/18/2010 01:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I wish people would stop calling this a "spill." A spill is more like what happens to a glass of milk. Unfortunately I think this thing will keep gushing until it runs out of oil, or the sea bed collapses and shuts it down, whichever comes first. Either way that area and a lot of area near it are probably going to be uninhabitable for probably hundreds of years.

Mother nature is also pretty darn good at cleaning this stuff on its own over time. Hey Sparky, you better get out your calculator and run the numbers... The 1979 IXTOC spill dumped 140 million gallons into the Gulf. Using a figure of 60,000 barrels day, which I think is WAY lower than reality- it adds up like this: 60,000 x 42 = (barrel of crude is 42 US gallons) 2,520,000 gallons of oil per day. This is day 60: 2,520,000 gallons of oil per day x 60 days = 151,200,000 gallons so far. We have already exceeded the IXTOC spill. There is no end in sight, and this is likely to go on for several more months. There is NO guarantee the relief wells will even work because oil is now leaking from fissures on the sea floor. If the relief wells fail we are likely to wind up with *billions* of gallons of oil in the Gulf. We may be lunatics, but you're a dumbass. Now STFU. |

ShadowDancer User ID: 287857 United States 06/18/2010 01:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ELE due to the way the Gulf will be for DECADES at a minimum...not be what it was... but Mother earth is very good at correcting mans errors and eventually will-so all people will not die, but this is still spewing and they are still drilling more relief wells and I think those will cause more problems IMHO even with the facts that logically seem to support that needs to be done...I sense it is contributing to more pressure coming down in the area of pressurized gases... As it continues...even if they stop it 10 months out or further...the Corexit is deadly and killing all life of any kind in the sea where it contacts...worst than the deadly crude over all...at least mother nature allows the crude to stick together...with a chance of retrieval...but the dispersants are deadly in and of themselves...and they are dispersing throughout the ocean...where the currents are much stronger(like 4+ times stronger)and dispersing the oil even further out throughout...which is unwise...nature could do that without any help...and less deadly as well. The methane building up(and Natural gas) seems to be a real Bottomless pit, according to scientific readings(like underground sonar)...not good-Not at all and while all this is destroying ecosystems they speak of more wars...and more resources set to kill Surely this is insanity??? And to trust the company with a trashed safety record, and the one that caused this to save a few millions...with profits of 93 million or more a day, is negligent and shows a malfeasance towards the people that seems quite purposeful Tony Hayward, is disgusting He wants his life back He should be grateful he still has a life at all-millions have already died...and people to follow-His PhD is not worth toilet paper as he sold out LONG ago-walking dead, hairpiece and all. and they care about the "small" people...I bet they do...they care for the small people to pay for their lavish lifestyles of privilege and dishonor... ************************************ fortitudo et spes ************************************ When Japan happened I responded: "The Excrement Has Impacted the Rotary Oscillator." and clearly it has.

This leak covered 29,000 square miles of ocean as of March 28th (less than 6 weeks.) In other words, this leak is 200 times greater, and it's miles deeper which makes it many times harder to stop!
