Is any one else starting to freak out over the oil leak?
I am. It actually woke me out of a sleep last night...cause it caused a nightmare. People weeping on beaches as waves of oil fouled everything around them.
Ugh. ![]() |

At first I thought it was a little leak, but man that thing is crazy. Did they ever put a lid on it?

The dome did not work! They are going to try a smaller dome this week and also try to bung up the pipe that is spewing oil among other things.

Yes. Even though I am avoiding reading in-depth about it, I think it's still seeping into my consciousness. That news paired with reading sci fi illustrating all too well how fucked up humans can be is maybe making me a little depressed.

This isn't the first major oil spill and it certainly won't be the last. My advice is don't worry about things you have no control over.

It's everywhere in the newspapers and Barack Obama even travelled to talk about the leak. Some oil company is being blamed and it has to pay all the clean-up costs.

The thing that makes this one different is that its a mile down or something. Not sure if they've had a blowout this far down before, so they are in uncharted territory. The gulf stream can carry this all the way up the east coast..

They should stick a Cork in it. That's fucked up. All that pressure coming out of that thing.
You would think they would have a back up plan for this shit with the profits they make. And Obama giving them tax breaks.

What can we do about this? I can't believe the LEAK hasn't even been stopped YET.
Its still spewing this out! Not even talking about clean up efforts, the leak is still happening!! WTF. This is almost inexcusable. I really do fear severe repercussions from all the fucked up shit we are doing to this planet. There's going to be a "The day the Earth stood still" movie type shit any time now...

Why? Too expensive. How expensive? $500,000. As in half a million dollars. I think BP made 6 billion last quarter. Can anyone do the math here and figure out how long it woulda taken them to pay for the safety valve that the Bush/Cheney crew let them off the hook for? |

![]() Seriously, this thing has been freaking me out so bad I'm taking a head in the sand approach to it at this point. There's fuck all I can do to stop it. When it gets here I will do what I can to help the clean up efforts. There is a very strong chance my beaches will never be the same. Maybe I'll spend next weekend on Sand Key with a grouper sandwich and savor the last moments. It's depressing. Local seafood industry is going to cave, tourism is going to get even worse, unemployment will rise, property values will fall, wildlife will suffer and die. It is a complete economic and environmental disaster. Louisiana is feeling it now, it;s just the tip of the iceburg. Everyone on the gulf will suffer. We will all share the same fate. ![]() |

Alaska is still fucked up 20 years after the Valdez disaster. Proof positive that it's physically impossible to effectively clean that shit up once it gets past a certain point.
I spend a lot of time in the Clearwater, FL area. The beaches there are truly gorgeous and the wildlife is amazing. This really sucks ![]()

I've tried to avoid reading more stories about it, but it is one of those things that lingers at the edges of my mind.
To say that BP is going to pay for it all is laughable. They may indeed end up paying for the actual cleanup effort. But that is to say nothing of all the economic fallout, and the environmental repercussions that will last for decades, if not more. I am against offshore drilling. There is only so much our planet can take. There is no reason that with our technology and the collective intelligence that we are not further along in developing alternative fuel sources. Oh, wait, yes, there is a reason. It's called money for the oil companies. There is a boy...well, young man now...from my tiny little town. He graduated high school with my oldest son, so that would put him around 22. He is bright, and has already been on that Shark Tank show and got funding for another venture. But the one I am referring to now takes sunflowers and coverts their oil to biodiesel fuel, with the remaining 'shucks' turned into livestock feed. Breaking our dependence on oil...not just foreign oil...is essential to the welfare of our planet. And now you may feel free to call me a tree hugging, hippie liberal. :D

It seems that when hospitality started to drop telemarketing rooms really started to be on the rise, but even the boiler rooms are starting to close down- and rightly so, but I just don't know where people will turn next for work. Quote:

I find interesting that people's attitude towards BP, like they don't care that they lost multi-billion dollar rig and likely billions more in oil lost. I'm not saying they don't have a responsibility in it, but I assure you they want it stopped and contained as much, or more than anyone. Plus, we all have a small part of the blame because we continue to use oil like its going out of style, which forces oil companies to drill in much more riskier and dangerous places. So maybe this will clue some people in that we need to start utilizing other forms of energy in a hurry.

forcing oil companies to drill in dangerous places? hahaha yes, its a shame to force those fuckers to do anything to make them record profits. but at least they aren't being forced to use a 500k safety valve that Brazil even mandates.

It's a shitty situation but it's not like it's the first time it's happened or the last time. Americans live in ignorant bliss - This happens all the time. The truth is we need our oil and this is the price we pay.
At the same time everyone is blaming BP. If I understand correctly, the oil platform wasn't owned by BP. It was leased to them. It wasn't even their people on the rig.
