They are also required to have a relief well in place to prevent what is happening in the Gulf of Mexico. Google up why that same requirement isn't in place for drilling in U.S. waters.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

- The northern Gulf of Mexico is a crucial spawning ground at this time of the year for the Atlantic population of bluefin tuna, which is critically endangered. Their eggs float near the surface and the larvae also stay near there after they first hatch. So, the spill has occurred at a critical time in their life-cycle.

"We expect a spill like this could dramatically decrease the amount of bluefin tuna larvae that are surviving," said John Hocevar, the Oceans Campaign director for Greenpeace USA.





Whoops..Someones doing a good job of keeping this suppressed, found this in a Singapore Newspaper.

Since I had an eight hour drive yesterday, I listened to the entire subcommittee hearing where Heyward was drilled...it was like listening to Reagan "not recall" or "not know" virtually anything of any substance whatsoever. There were some very unhappy legislators.

Just for kicks and grins, I popped over to BBC after the hearings and got to hear a bunch of Brits complaining that the legislators were being too mean to him, and they were commending Heyward for keeping such good manners.

The "expert" the BBC had on was a crisis management PR consultant, who seemed to be of the opinion that having good manners and saying "sir" and "ma'am" was the important part, and not actually saying anything at all didn't bother her one bit.

A few others on the BBC, though, said that it was a PR disaster for BP, and that Heyward did nothing but rile up the US even more, which I think is true.

Fish on...

...and Pemex went through the exact same rigamarole that BP is going through, in the same order, on the same timeline, with the same stupid assurances and under-reported oil flows...only to finally stop the leak with relief wells.

The same will happen here, so don't expect it to be done until at least August.

Fish on...

AM: That's a good start. Then lets add all the politicians that took their money then turned theor heads to potential safety issues.

We would se a ton of politicos pointing fingers, but they are all dipped in oil $$. Yet another reason we need campaign finance reform. Yep, I wouldeven go so far as to publicly fund the campaigns. I bet it would save us a ton of money in the long run.

I know no one wants to actually admit, especially anyone to the right of Marx, but the fact is the seeds of this disaster were planted with Ronald Reagan and the "Contract with America" that came to follow...and Hank, I don't give a rip if you condemn BP and this spill, the fact of the matter is that you suppored then, and continue to support, the anti-regulatory "free market" that direcly lead to this disaster.

You can't have it both ways...you either supported the deregulation and Dumbya's staffing of the MMS with folks who aren't qualified to sell hot dogs at AM/PM, or you didn't...and all of you righties did.

Cry about it all you want now, but if you supported the regime that allowed this disaster to come to fruition, then you are not only not allowed to blame it on anyone else, but you are to blame yourself.

Fish on...

and just in case it hasn't already been thought of and discussed......

BP is NOT interested in plugging the leak. Got it? NOT interested.

They want to capture the oil. Reason is simple....money. Look at every one of the "fixes". Do they not facilitate harvesting the oil in the "fix"? I believe they could plug the damn thing in two heartbeats, if that's what they wanted to do.

Think about it.

The latest I read was that they stopped trying to plug it,top kill, because they found the pipe between the ocean floor and the oil is damaged. If they plug it at the top it could blow out below and be even harder to control.
