Yeah! Bring back the ****ing drilling! Another poster from Cali said that Califoniations don't won't drilling and shouldn't be forced to drill and that's ok. California shouldn't get a cut of the royalties from GOM drilling, either. If Louisiana wants to drill, we should be able to drill.
The treehuggers pushed the rigs farther and farther offshore. Everything about this spill is the treehuggers's doing.
Since when do treehuggers make sense?
They're grasp of this situation isn't important. In fact, their lack of understanding is important to the political agenda. Obama needed a catastrophe, so he could promote his agenda.They don't.
I just don't understand why the EPA and those who legislate/regulate the oil industry can't seem to grasp this.
If you have an idea as to how BP can stop this leak I feel certain that the entire population of all the gulf states would be eternally grateful.
My idea would be to shove a smaller pipe deep down the hole and shove and inflatable bladder down that hole and inflate the bladder with water and surround the sides with cement and put a valve on the pipe or stick a smaller pipe deep in the hole and pumps gallons of expanding foam. But I am no expert at deep pressure so I am not sure those ideas would even work. But the thing is regardless of what idea BP uses to fix the leak a significant amount of time has already passed and a lot of damage done to the fishing industry and tourism on the coastline. When ever someone ask to let them build off shore the government will look at the BP disaster just like they will look and the Chernobyl disaster when ever someone comes asking to build a nuclear power plant and will say hell no and least the people in the elected officials districts will say hell no. Again if this only took a few days to fix or at most a week to fix then most people would be on board with offshore drilling. However they are still on day 50 or 60 something and they are talking about getting it fix either in July or August. If one oil company can not adequately handle a leak and the other other oil companies are not offering any ideas wouldn't that tell you that if any of those oil rigs ran by other companies had a leak the same thing would happen that's happening right now with BP? Before the BP incident I would have blown off the enviro-nuts because I was under the impression that these oil companies could fix a leak in a timely manner. I still support drilling on land.
Environmental regulations, denial of federal land lease prevent this from happening. This country has plenty of oil on land opposed to offshore but again denied. If something like this happens on land which is rare as in the case of offshore drilling, land rig blowouts can be contained in short order.
If we allowed the on-land and near-shore drilling in addition to deep-sea drilling, they'd be doing all three. These companies will drill anywhere and everywhere that it is profitable. If drilling in deep water weren't profitable, they never would have started. Since drilling there is profitable, why wouldn't they drill both on land and in deep water? They weren't "pushed" off shore. They would have gone there anyway. Blaming this on environmentalists - people who were opposed to the deep water drilling, is just stupidity.
Yes they would drill anywhere if there was a profit, but slant drilling could have avoided these from lesser depths. Deep water drilling is very expensive, slant drilling was developed to prevent this.
You'll be singing a different tune when you lose your job, because the state's economy has crashed. And, I don't care how safe you think your job is, if 20,000+ Louisianians loose their jobs in the next 6 months, there is a very good chance of losing your job.
The blame may not rest entirely on enviromentalists, but the law has definitely pushed rigs further offshore.
Maybe next time the state wll vote for Obama. Then they may get the same attention unions do.
Please, promote the idea that Obama ****ed over th southern states for political reasons. Make it such a popular idea, that dumbassed Liberals actually go on television saying the same thing. I would love that!
Why haven't the newsreaders on TV who make more than CEOs picked up on this? Is it that the people in NY and Calif could care less about LA. When the crap hits Florida beaches where New Yorkers vacation, then we will hear howls.
The Liberal press doesn't want to give yall's secret away. That's why.
I heard Glenn Beck use a similar analogy with a house to support off shore oil drilling "you don't stop building houses just because one catches on fire". He is wrong on this one because a house fire can be put out before if burns down the city,neighborhood and block, the oil leak in the gulf is still going on.
