A few tar balls would wash up, and national media would swarm around it, take close up pictures. Then when you turned on the news, it would give the impression that the whole beach was covered. Reality, the tar balls were in a spot about 10 yards long and a kid with a shovel could have cleaned them up. The rest of the beach was fine. Hell, I even have a "Jar of Tar balls" on my desk.

Yeah that's right oil from the gulf is well above the normal in terms of radioactivity. Did you know that scrap yards won't take normal oil pipes... why? Because they are radioactive! Even the normal ones, just a little bit, but enough to be a concern. The level of radioactivity in a deposit is generally correlated with the amount of gas in a deposit for a number of geological factors... most producing wells are about 5% gas. This well is about 40% gas. Radioactive oil doom on. So fucking metal. Let's get is a Cat 5 and some popcorn... |

I'm just throwing this out, but if he sensed he was at the cusp of something that would cause him to be in danger, perhaps he said so in a way. You know, dropped anyone who truly listened to him some hint of him sensing that. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1039687I know there was an absence of him from 7/15 onwardly. Did he do any interviews or anything after 7/15? Thanks so much if anyone knows. I've tried searching, but the entire search is filled with the news of today, his death. Maybe some avid Matt Simmons follower could give the link to his last interview. I think there was one on the 19th but the video i watched is ore removed for violations... |

At this point I hope we are all sophisticated enough to know that we are talking about things in the ppm concentration level in the vast majority of places and not huge globs of things. The globs of things (heaviest components) are near the bottom. [link to blog.alexanderhiggins.com] "Only 2% of the oil released in a deepwater blowout may actually make it to the surface. That’s as little as 2% naturally without the use of dispersants. Add dispersants into the equation and it could be less then one percent of oil that makes it to the surface. None of the methane released from the deepwater blowout made it to the surface. The study found that released natural gas may dissolve completely within the water column if it is released from a deep enough depth relative to the gas flow rate." |
