These oil company execs are idiots, they'd never have thought to thoroughly prepare for this, the unthinkable (though highly possible) to happen. No, they're too busy buying $12,000.00 shower curtains and turning up their noses at the rest of us, robbing us daily in a war against our empty fuel tanks and grumbling stomachs, our peace of mind and ultimately our lives. I say that we drag these louts by their necks through the streets for their dark crimes against nature, our most precious (and really our only) resource.shalomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959865638081736106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6571217448396416517.post-38510982780512636002010-06-06T12:18:16.481-05:002010-06-06T12:18:16.481-05:00i wonder what would happen if we pulled the pipe r...i wonder what would happen if we pulled the pipe right out of the ground would the mud at the bottom of the ocean floor seal the hole i mean a mile of mud should seal a 10000 foot holeUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13443191033285220089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6571217448396416517.post-13546439545449709352010-06-06T12:15:57.369-05:002010-06-06T12:15:57.369-05:00you really need to stop trying to ban the drilling...you really need to stop trying to ban the drilling in the gulf they should be able to drill just not at a water depth that we can't get to easy enough thats just my opinionUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13443191033285220089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6571217448396416517.post-614964953304215602010-05-23T18:46:55.163-05:002010-05-23T18:46:55.163-05:00I'm afraid as an environmentalist, I have to s...I'm afraid as an environmentalist, I have to say "I told you so." It was obvious that with thousands of wells drilled in the Gulf, this accident was only a matter of time. Nuclear power is a similar disaster that will happen unless we shut down our nukes. <br /><br />The Gulf coast is lost. However, we might still be able to save the East and West Coasts. Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont has introduced a bill that would ban offshore oil drilling permanently. We must push for this ban. I would suggest huge protest marches throughout the Gulf. The message? "No More Offshore Oil!" <br /><br />On the other hand, the McCain/Kerry Energy Bill that is now before Congress actually spends billions of our tax dollars to fund new offshore drilling, new nuclear power plants, and new coal mines. It was written by the big energy companies for the big energy companies. Both Kerry and McCain should be ashamed for introducing this bill in the middle of this disaster. It's the clearest indication yet that corporations are running Congress. This bill must be stopped.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6571217448396416517.post-16584399786218927502010-05-23T14:40:42.124-05:002010-05-23T14:40:42.124-05:00Thank God the "experts" are on the case!...Thank God the "experts" are on the case!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6571217448396416517.post-52625518860875588662010-05-23T14:23:31.684-05:002010-05-23T14:23:31.684-05:00I spend winters on the Gulf and I still will. We ...I spend winters on the Gulf and I still will. We who call this piece of earth home will do what we can, however puny our efforts. In the meantime, find a group that is doing good work and donate if you can. One good place is Mote Marine Labs on FL's west coast. They are doing pro-active work right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
