Amazing. Despicable. I AM APPALLED. I'm not even sure that I believe what he was saying. Doesn't matter, though. This is f*cking wrong. |

Crappy The Penguin User ID: 972183 Canada 08/09/2010 09:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well, BP has FINALLY put a permanent stop to that horrible leak! Oh, no, no, no! Not the OIL LEAK....the TRUTH LEAK that was coming from Matt Simmons! So, BP has successfully put an air-tight cap and seal on Matt Simmons...maybe they'll pump drilling mud down his throat now as well. Screw the relief wells...they got the problem solved the old fashioned way. The American way. |

Crappy The Penguin User ID: 972183 Canada 08/09/2010 10:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Actually, I noticed in the last two weeks (during which BP's latest work of fantasy was unfolding, titled, "Static Kill") that there were already several blogs being put out there dissing Matt Simmons (even more astringently that normal). I'm also curious about why Matt Simmons became so coldly quiet during the "Static Kill" operation. There was not a single blurb from him about the operation. Nothing. It seemed as if he had lost his nerve or started to doubt himself, perhaps. Or....?? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1043058 United States 08/09/2010 10:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I can hear them now saying, "lately he's been making odd claims about BP", etc... It's sad that they get away with shit like this. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1059478They pretty much did in the article. Went right after the meat of it, like it has just been under their skin. He's not even cold yet ffs. In recent months, his pronouncements about the BP oil spill stretched thin his remaining strands of credibility. A few weeks after the spill began I had a conversation with him where he swore that BP, in cohoots with the federal government, was covering up a far greater leak in the seafloor near the Macondo well, where more than 100,000 bpd of oil was gushing up. He told me that the whole oil reservoir was likely to burst up suddenly through miles of rock and explode into the ocean “like popping a zit.” This would be the worst environmental catastrophe the world had ever known, he said. Simmons got a lot of press for these ideas — but they were preposterous. The investment bank that Simmons founded (and with which he made a fortune raising capital for oil services companies) went so far as to issue a statement saying that the comments of their dear chairman emeritus did not reflect the beliefs of their analysts and staff. They were, frankly, embarrassed by their crazy old uncle. |

It's all about who controls the ball (or the oil well). Further, (the powers that be) believe that they must ALWAYS control the ball and Matt Simmons was running just a wee bit too much interference for their liking, IMHO. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1063575 United States 08/10/2010 03:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Matt Simmons, Crazy Uncle Of The Oilpatch, R.I.P. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1059478Legendary oil industry banker and gadfly Matt Simmons died last night at his home in Maine, from an apparent heart attack while in a hot tub. I’ll miss talking with Simmons. He had become, in recent years, the crazy old uncle of the oil patch. Rich, odd, bombastically self-confident, unconcerned with what anyone thought of him. He wasn’t often right, but he always had a very strong opinion that he was eager to share. More important than being right, he made us think. [link to blogs.forbes.com] WHEN DID HE DIE?\IS THIS TRUE? OBVIOUSLY NOT NATURAL HE WAS MURDERED I MEAN WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD NOT THINK HE WAS MURDERED? |
