Man this is now as bad as the Valdez and getting worse.

Platform Disaster

200,000 gallons per day and it may take weeks or months to stop.
Heard that they could have prevented it using a $500,000 acoustic shut off valve (no details how it works, but its almost fail safe.) Every country in the world requires these but we don't. mmm

Some talk of the Cheney -Energy Chiefs secret meeting in 2001 and the lack of regulations the last 8 years. Who knows- waiting until the facts shake out. But the W VA coal mine disaster reeks of lack of oversight or just down right look the other way. Is this another ?

Besides the environmental impact what about the economic disaster to tourism and fisheries in the gulf ? I never liked Obama's allowing more drilling, bad mistake... we need to be shifting from oil - hydrocarbon based energy to clean - green, renewable energy ASAP !!

Let the "Cat fights" begin !!

I can't agree more. We need to set a definitive goal to be completely energy independent by the end of this decade, like JFK's man on the moon goal in the 60s. Make it a national defense priority and create tons of new jobs in the process.

MacBozo for President !!

It REALLY REALLY (REALLY REALLY) SUX
that money that COULD HAVE GONE to
exactly THAT will now be thrown at
the MASSIVE Clean-Up Instead.

I hear Obama is ALREADY Re-Thinking
the BS about Off-Shore Drilling to
placate the "Drill-Baby-Drill" crowd.

Kinda' closing the barn door after the
fact though.. know wot I mean?

You mean the barn door that had no walls around it ?



yep really sucks, it does !

another example of letting the business guys run amuk ... yes the initial disaster could have been unpredictable,... but having poor or no effective safe guards is inexcusable, one knows disasters are going to happen from time to time. Like driving wo seat belts.

Robert Kennedy Files Lawsuit Against BP Oil

Read the article
because it outlines the extent of the disaster
(yes... DISASTER)

One of my Facebook friends is implying that Obama was behind the explosion. I'm surprised it took this long to start the conspiracy theories.

LOL! But that's just too stoopid to be funny.

Well Rush's explanation is that environmentalists did it, to stop the drilling !!

so which psycho story is the best ?

it's a tough choice for me !

Well yeah, that was my first thought.

Actually my take is that he had nothing to do with it, but that someone didn't like his support of drilling and tried to make a point. I read it on the internet, it's true.
