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.

yup, although the last spill of this sort was ~40 years ago, it doesn't happen very often.

fact is, we suckle on big oil's tit and it won't be any time soon when ween ourselves off of it.

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..

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...

There was a safety valve that was proposed to be mandatory on ALL US offshore drilling. It was going to be a law...but the Bush administration nixed it.

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.

I think it shows you are not a sociopath. I am also having problems trying to remain positive. I feel helpless and wish there is something I could do like donate or volunteer so this leak is stopped but there is nothing other than trying to help the victims. Your nightmare is the same as lots of people: That this leak will continue unchecked for weeks until they get a relief hole drilled.

Now they are talking about plugging up the valve with shredded garbage like tires and golf balls but if they fuck up it could make the leak 12 times as bad as it is now!!!

The one good thing that the south has on its side is hurricanes. A hurricane will clean that stuff up in a jiffy. They gotta stop the leak though! Its already touching my Parish in Louisiana.

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

This is my home. I've lived other places but I always come back here. Clearwater beach has been having some really rough times due to "the church". They are pretty much making it so small businesses not tied to the organization can't survive. Now this, I really don't know what will happen. Its foolish to think the oil won't come here, when it does I don't know how the community will recover.

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.

Agreed. I think the government needs to make an example of BP and make as much cost stick to that company as possible. They need to make it hurt so bad financially that other companies will stand up and take notice. That is the only thing they understand. If the rewards outweigh the risks it will continue to be business as usual. They need to all have the shut off valves, they need to be sure they are all functional, and someone needs to spot check them to ensure this is done and impose heavy fines if not. They need to have contingency plans for the worst case scenario, they should have had a plan in place for this.

The gulf is just a bad place to put oil wells, period. Its too risky. Hurricanes come through here all the time, every time they have to detach the rigs, etc etc. Huge procedure, lost production time, etc. I mean, its not an industry I'm hugely familliar with, but as an outsider it seems it would be more cost effective to put more wells on stable ground, in say Alaska.

You would think they would have a back up plan for this shit with the profits they make. And Obama giving them tax breaks.
heres the thing...they could have "stuck a cork in it" already. BP is trying to syphen the oil off as well to recover lost profits and in the meantime the disaster is ongoing. How the CEO is not in prison right now for environmental terrorism is amazing...but obvious. Obama and his admin hasn't really done anything about this crisis. I read articles which say "obama acted decisively during the oil spill" etc....WTF?

the only thing the govt acts decisively about is war, but when it comes to domestic issues its a complete joke.

You are correct, and the exception is it wasn't at 5000ft. which makes this uncharted territory.


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.

speak for yourself, i sold my car and now use public transport, bike or walk to get around. why? because in reality i didn't need it. and there are millions of people who have actively cut their use of oil based products for this reason.

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.

I am speaking for myself, yes I like my gasoline powered car, I like having a wide variety fresh fruit all year round, I like having all sorts electronic gadgets, computers, appliances at my disposal, I like having manufactured clothes that are made by cheap labor in other countries, I like having my TVs, Internet, Wifi, connected all the time. All these things require OIL. So though I'm sad about the accident and will likely effect me because I do own a beach house on the gulf, I also have understand that its all of us that have some blame in the oil game...
