^^^ Was just coming to post that. "Did we say 42,000 gallons/day? We meant 210,000 gallons per day. Our bad."
fixed.The license plates in Louseyana say "sportsmans paradise" on them.
I'm thinking "illiterate paradise" might be more applicable
The whole gulfcoast region relies on fresh seafood to keep all the choice eateries full of tourists and people with jobs. Its a really big industry so yeah, we are pretty nervous about all the bad info coming out.
The gallons spilled per day has jumped exponentially ..............
fixed.
and if by exponentional you mean 42,000^1.4305992978, then yes, its exponential
sorry man i couldn't control my inner math nerdDont try calling me out for fuzzy math!
I think exponential is a fair term b\c we now have more leaks at a higher volume and with the time frame to cap this stuff there's gonna be so much oil around that exact mathmatical equations will not even matter
why is it they've yet to combine a windfarm & an offshore oil rig? it's nearly always windy enough to power one of those platforms, right?
Heh...yeah, until some drunk zillionaire rams his 125' Chris Craft into it...Something like this ain't so bad eh?

Exactly what I was wondering.Do they have any kind of plan to stop the leaking or are they just going to wait until the earth is empty?
so they're going to pave the gulf of mexico?
When I lived in Santa Barbara those damn tarballs would get on/in every thing. I kept a stainless steel BBQ brush in the shower because that was the only way to get that isht off your feet. God Forbid the crap somehow found its way inside your wet suit or shorts. I'll let your imagination run wild on that.
I heard something on NPR about them lowering a huge fabric tent over the whole thing, at 5,000 feet deep?Do they have any kind of plan to stop the leaking or are they just going to wait until the earth is empty?
Reposted for truthynessOkay so i'm renting an empty tanker truck to go down and scoop up as much free earl as possible . Then go home and process it into diesel for the ol Ford.
Anybody else want some?
Free oil friday
Because YOU (Floridians in general) wanted it.Why did this have to happen where the **** ends up on my beaches?
Congratulations, here's your sh!t sandwich.One Obama initiative popular with Floridians is his call for offshore oil drilling. Voters approve of offshore drilling in general 66 - 27 percent and approve drilling off the Florida coast 64 - 28 percent.
Looks like we can pretty much write of the Gulf Coast for the next 100 years.Looks like we are going to be leaking about 250,000 gallons\day for 2 maybe 3 months till its shut off down deep. AND!!! The local radio guys have uncovered that BP looks to have saved $500,000 on a safty cut off valve on the Horizon deepwater rig that costs hundreds of millions

I'd like to blame someone besides my ex-employer. But obviously, now is the time to fix the problem.
There is a damn leak on the ocean floor 5000 feet below sea level.
Any suggestions?
Remind me again what the terrible repercussions of three mile island were?just like 3 mile island didn't absolutely dissuade me from being pro-nuke energy, nor does this.
I agree, but only in as much as these issues are decided in our rational mind. I think a great deal of this issue on both sides of the aisle is emotional/religious: the left in nature worship, the right in bible-thumping "the world is for man's enjoyment so **** you"just like 3 mile island didn't absolutely dissuade me from being pro-nuke energy, nor does this. i believe if we are going to consume oil (and we are), we should not depend on foreign sources.
naturally, this event should be reviewed & its causes appropriately addressed. to put an embargo - see what i did there? - on drilling is overreacting
It just points out the need for, gasp, regulation.just like 3 mile island didn't absolutely dissuade me from being pro-nuke energy, nor does this. i believe if we are going to consume oil (and we are), we should not depend on foreign sources.

COMMUNIST!!!!it just points out the need for, gasp, regulation.
it gave the 3-boobed chick some work in total recall. also b/c of this spill, that shamwow guy can keep his gig running for a few more years. should help him make bail when he starts slappin around cajun hookersRemind me again what the terrible repercussions of three mile island were?
i think the right's desire is more from a pro-business or pro-capitalism pov.the right in bible-thumping "the world is for man's enjoyment so **** you"
****ing stupid old people.
