But at this point, it's crying over spilt milk. The cow will produce more milk by tomorrow so it's just kinda pointless. What's done is done.
That's kind of the thing Jall..... the cow won't produce milk for 20 years...
I understand that. And I'm not saying it isn't a bad situation all the way around. What I am trying to get across to you guys is that it's not permanent. It will get better in most of our lifetimes, barring some catastrophe that kills us early.
Valdez happened when I was 14 when I lived in NC. I was fishing there when I was 29. It will get better.
Edit: It's a thriving tourist attracting and business again. Don't believe? Call one of these guys.
stop being an oil consumer---now, there's a winning slogan
hey, america, either lose the cars or forget the gulf and the millions of you who used to prosper there
meanwhile, a mile down, if those leaks are not sealed soon, the gulf is facing an economic and environmental catastrophe on a scale not seen
but, hey, it'll all be better some day...
wow

OK, well you can devolve into all the hysterics you wish ...
hys·ter·ic (hĭ-stĕrˈĭk)
noun
1. A person suffering from hysteria.
2. hysterics (used with a sing. or pl. verb)
a. A fit of uncontrollable laughing or crying.
b. An attack of hysteria.
The 1,000 barrels per day is a very old estimate. You are either intentionally minimizing this leak, in spite of plenty of reputable sources to the contrary, or not staying on top of this as much as you think you are..I get my information from news sources, not hysterics on a message board.

You were saying?
Gulf of Mexico oil leak volume estimates are dramatically low, analysis suggests | NOLA.comU.S. Coast Guard estimates of the amount of oil surging into the Gulf of Mexico from the Deepwater Horizon rig may be low by a factor of 10 or more, National Public Radio has reported.
Analysis of sea floor video made available Wednesday by BP suggests that 70,000 barrels a day are pouring into the Gulf, not 5,000 barrels a day as estimated by the Coast Guard, the report says.
If the analysis by Purdue University professor Steve Werely is correct, the amount of oil in the Gulf has already exceeded the 250,000 barrels spilled in the 1989 Exxon Valdez tanker accident in Alaska.
Uhh, lived next door to it. Kept up on it probably better than anyone else here.
Only about 20 square acres are still contaminated chronically.
When I start giving a **** what you doubt or have faith in, I'll be sure to let you know, mkay?
Where exactly is Valdez? Mexico?I've seen the pictures. I also saw the pictures of Valdez after the Exxon spill. I've also seen Valdez today, in person. Guess what? The picture gets better.
Twenty years is not acceptable, especially when it looks like this could have been prevented, had BP followed proper procedures.
Where exactly is Valdez? Mexico?
You were just there, in person?:rofl
So Obama's inspectors that praised the rig have no fault?
You proved my point. It's still not all cleaned up.
What diff does it matter if you lived on a house boat in the middle of it? :roll:
Absolutely they do! And hopefully, changes will eliminate that weak link.
How about the government helping to stop the spill first since they seem to be spectators right now
I do believe the Army Corps of Engineers is working with BP.
So is Costner. What is the army corps doing?

Probably a hell of a lot more than Costner.
Show me proof

Was Valdez hit hard by the spill? The spill occurred in the Prince William Sound and the EVOSTC shows the oil flowing away from the city

Did you see the word "probably" in my post? Can you guess what that might mean?
You know what we used to call a marsh or wetland?
A SWAMP. A big stinking useless swamp.
You know what we used to do with Swamps?
DRAIN THEM, build DIKES, and then we built NEW ORLEANS.
Yeah well that didn't work out too good either. :mrgreen:
I'm sorry I just can't get too worked up about this. I've spent some time fracking around in swamps... they're intresting I guess, but they'll survive and regrow and who really cares...
