Why the need to drill test wells..? Quoting: Waterbug They capped it last year due to problems, so they have to drill another hole to see whats going on as they cannot check where it was originaly drilled. Seems a little.. shortsighted..? [link to www.examiner.com] Thanks.. Incredibly short-sighted... |

"In Louisiana here, there are about 13,000 of these abandoned wells throughout the sate that still need to be mitigated because they are polluting parts of the state of Louisiana and that is Big Oil, our biggest employee here in Louisiana,” retired General Russel Honoré recently told CNN. Sinkhole in Isaac's 'cone of uncertainty,' 63 miles from Gulf August 25, 2012 [link to www.examiner.com] "On the eve of Hurricane Katrina's seventh anniversary, the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP) is urging south Louisiana residents to prepare this weekend for Tropical Storm Isaac since part of the state, including its giant sinkhole area, is in the “cone of uncertainty” where the storm could make landfall, according to the National Weather Service. Even if south Louisiana does not take a direct hit, Isaac is threatening the already unstable sinkhole swampland area with more water, flooding and winds carrying its contaminants further." |

With Issac heading in, they may not be able to do many more flyovers. Quoting: CrissCross Useless, and what took them so long?.

Your right if it gets worse during the storm they will probably blame it. I'm sure that people who have been evacuated will know the troubles were there all along though. Maybe it won't be so easy to pull the wool over this time. |
