BP Oil Spill In the Gulf

*Spitfire* · 06-07-2010, 03:51 AM

James Cameron offered to help clean up the spill with his submarines and BP basically told him to F off. These people are major D-bags. Like TMB said it's depressing. I hope this clues these idiots in on how important alternative fuel sources are and puts an end to this oil crap. I know it won't go away over night but something needs to change soon or there won't be a planet to live on. Reading about this makes me want to punch an oil tycoon in the jaw.

It makes me very sad to see oil reports. I spent summers on the beautiful white beaches on the Florida panhandle for as long as I can remember....I went there two weeks before Memorial day knowing full well that those beaches may not ever be the same. it was sad. seeing all the wildlife....walking around on the beach.

and I saw a report today that some scientists are proposing detonating a nuclear device down by the well to get it to stop leaking. isn't it bad enough that there's oil all over.....do we need radioactive stuff too? I'm guessing those scientists don't live anywhere near the gulf coast, cause I sure don't want a nuke going off in my back yard.

The whole radioactive Idea came from the Russians in the 50s and 60s. They would use nuclear bombs underground to close things up, but they had some that blew up above ground (translation, in open water), and ended up making it impossible for anyone go to down there due to the high radiation levels.

It's horrible what's happening down there. I can't imagine what the families are going through... the only good news so far is that all the capping they've started doing is actually slowing things down. But it's still going to be a Long, Weary Recovery..

The capping isn't doing sh*t. No one is doing sh*t. It disgusts me to my very God damn core to see something like this continue as long as it has. F*cking disgusting.

It's sad to see all of this happening in the Gulf. I feel so sorry for all the people and animals affected by this. I doubt anything will be done because BP doesn't want to admit that they f*cked up.

Exactly. They could have capped this WEEKS ago, but they aren't because its more profitable to let it leak as long as possible, then scoop up the oil and sue everyone else who touches it while lobbying government/threaten us with uor own oil reserves to be able to lower their liability cap.

Evil people like this need to be sent off this Earth.

I hope Obama takes care of this. He's getting pissed.

Yeah. What's the point of making a profit if the f*cking limited purity of the Earth is the price?

I swear, this feels like a damn Captain Planet episode.

Right now, I'm in a state of shock. I live on the East Coast of Florida, but even then, on the news, it talks on how the oil can get into the East Atlantic current and eventually wash up on the shores of Miami, Palm Beach or Jupiter. I have several real estate down in the keys, I bought them for the closeness to nature and the quiet it provides. Everyday I dread that my tenants are going to call and start claiming oil balls are starting to wash up on the docks.

Regardless, the Panhandle is a nice place to go for a relaxing beach affair. And I feel real bad for the Louisiana people. First Katrina, and now this.

I just don't understand why the Government didn't take the reins from BP a week after the incident, and threw in the top minds from MIT to tackle this issue.
