Black People : Oil Spill Conitinues to Gush Oil After Three Weeks

I wonder what Pat Robertson is saying now.

As bad as the oil spill looks on the surface, it may be only half the problem, said University of California Berkeley engineering professor Robert Bea, who serves on a National Academy of Engineering panel on oil pipeline safety.

"There's an equal amount that could be subsurface too," said Bea. And that oil below the surface "is **** near impossible to track."

Louisiana State University professor Ed Overton, who heads a federal chemical hazard assessment team for oil spills, worries about a total collapse of the pipe inserted into the well. If that happens, there would be no warning and the resulting gusher could be even more devastating because regulating flow would then be impossible.

"When these things go, they go KABOOM," he said. "If this thing does collapse, we've got a big, big blow."

BP has not said how much oil is beneath the Gulf seabed Deepwater Horizon was tapping, but a company official speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the volume of reserves, confirmed reports that it was tens of millions of barrels — a frightening prospect to many.

Who cares about that fools foolishnes, what about the facts?

How many progressives who voted for change were shocked and tickedof to hear the republicans cheer with glee when Obama stated he would persue the neocon agenda of offshoredrilling at his state of the Union speech

Most of those talking heads lie ,
but are people able to handle the facts
about lax security measures placed on a company that has run rampant with violations.

And now 37 waivers?

WASHINGTON — Since the Deepwater Horizon oil drilling rig exploded on April 20, the Obama administration has granted oil and gas companies at least 27 exemptions from doing in-depth environmental studies of oil exploration and production in the Gulf of Mexico.

The waivers were granted despite President Barack Obama’s vow that his administration would launch a “relentless response effort” to stop the leak and prevent more damage to the gulf. One of them was dated Friday — the day after Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said he was temporarily halting offshore drilling

The oil companies are buying off judges, so they,BP, are only gonna pay a certain price. I'm sure they are taking judges to Costa Rican properties and introducing them to the local harlots. "All this will be yours if you throw out 99% of the suites coming against us". BP is mostly worried about it's bottom line, not the Gulf Coast Marshes and Swamp. The next storm will be worst as those swamps stretch for over 100 miles south of N.O. and the Mississippi coast. Not to even mention that this is a nuclear bomb to the wildflife, fish, and people who live in that area. Overall it will affect all of the U.S., especially southeast seafood lovers.
