They respond to what we want in a manner that improves their best interest. It's called capatilism and it's why you're not living in a hut and making marks on a piece of stone.

kinda curious how the administration, being democrat and tree hugging and all, as the right accuse them of, have let them keep trying this attempts to retrieve the oil instead of just plugging the hole, couldn't they plug the hole then just drill another well into the same reserve of oil??? seems they are listening to the oil companies and the oil companies wants instead of fixing the problem

No one knows what effect the spill will have. The only certain thing is it won't destroy the planet as we know it.

Almost a month later and its still pouring God knows how much oil into the ocean. Thats real silly Webster.

Webster, please go back about 19 posts or so and read my post (the long one) concerning capatilism. No really, go back and read it or read it again. Then come back and talk to me about "Capatilism." *Starlifter

Oil from spill may be entering Gulf Loop.
Source Palmbeach Post.

Oil may be on its way.

New satellite images show oil starting to enter the Gulf Loop current, which would pull it through the Florida Keys, into the Gulf Stream and up to Palm Beach County, according to a scientist tracking the oil spewing into the gulf.

The new images, taken Saturday by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, "clearly that the oil is being pulled into the Loop current," according to a release from Mitch Roffer, an oceanographer who runs Roffer's Ocean Fishing Forecasting Service and has been providing daily updates on the spill's movement.

"We still don't know how long it's going to take to get around to the Keys and then the east coast of Florida - it just remains to be seen," Roffer said Saturday. That process, which is difficult to predict, would take at least a week, and possibly several, scientists say.

Richard Dodge, the dean of the Nova Southeastern University Oceanographic Center, said he'd seen Roffer's report and "it looks to me like he's right. "It hasn't quite happened," Dodge said, noting that currents might still shift to force the oil away. "But from the satellite photos that I saw, it sure looks like it's going to happen."

Oil spill could go on for years, experts say.

The retired chairman of an energy investment banking firm told National Geographic in little-noticed comments Thursday that efforts to stop the oil leak under the Gulf of Mexico could prove fruitless and than oil could gush into the ocean for years.

Matthew Simmons, retired chair of the energy-industry investment bank Simmons & Company, said that BP and the US military's engineers are more or less clueless about cutting off the flow.

"We don't have any idea how to stop this," Simmons said. The former banker mocked a proposal to try and plug the leak with trash, saying it was a "joke."

Simmons noted that the pressure at 5,000 feet undersea -- where the well site is located -- is so high, that containment efforts are likely often to fail. At 5,000 feet underwater, blocking elements have to be able to hold even with pressures off 40,000 pounds per square inch.

---snip---

"You're talking about a reservoir that could have tens of millions of barrels in it," Resink said. At the current spill rate, it "would take years to deplete," he added.

According to a scientific analysis of footage from the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico showing the leak, National Public Radio claimed Thursday that the growing ecological disaster is actually ten times worse than previously estimated, saying the rushing torrent of oil pouring into the ocean is equivalent to one Exxon-Valdez spill every four days.

---snip---

The Deepwater Horizon well has been jetting oil unabated for just short of one month at time of this writing. Already, the pollution exceeds a scale which most individual humans can fully grasp.

Star; I'm 49 years old. I've lost count how many events were going to 'change the world as we know it'. From Silent Spring, to the Exxon Valdez to global cooling to global warming, to Mount St. Helens and on and on and on..... The truth is no one knows, time will tell. The only thing that is known is that Chicken Little's come out of the woodwork every time something happens.

unfortunate as this all is with all the finger pointing back and fourth with an inept response as i see it.. makes me wonder who will capitalise from this calamity... as i see it there are two concerns...
1 - if it is not plugged / capped soon how can they attempt during hurricane season ... Shocked

Yikes that will be a mess
2 - China is commited to getting oil in the gulf.. you think this is bad ? ever use china tools ? who gonna get the blame once we in the interest of mother earf dont drill there and china does who aint the least wise worried about our soil getting soiled by oyl they are getting...
so while all the dems blame the repubs who blame the dems blammen them letting dem dirty low down good fer nuthin big oyl co go an ruin on purpose our coast lines... I submit there should be a pause to reason to determine an appropriate studied response as i dont think golf balls pluggin the hole gonna do it nor do i think gun totin bikin bimbos are responsible and am concerned about a foreign agency working the oil field in the gulf while we sit back pattin ourselves on the back cause our wind powered petal bikes aint makin our shores all gummed up... yep its a mess yep it was made by humans yep it will get resolved an yep there will be a GIANT bill submitted to the fine folks at BP an yep the consumers will pay for it via a "small" price hike to their gallon of gas...
just thinkin and gettin ready to go ridin... WOOO! again!
ps.. the Exxon Valdez incident was to my understand far worse than this to this point of volume of oil spilt and no the environment didnt die out there... aint gonna here...
http://www.princewilliamsound.com/pws-daycruises.html
dont think that would be happening if it was alll destroyed ...
Cool

Peace an go ride yer oil using joy on two wheels

I’ve been absent from this forum for a while and catching up on this post. The level and amount of naive comments in this forum always surprise me. This forum is not a representative sampling of the general population and I’m not sure exactly why that is. I have some theories, but that’s for another day.

I take it from your posting of "Barack The Magic Negro" that you didnt vote for our president. Sorry Webster but that puts you in a minority. I have my theories about your post and and they all point to Rush Limbaughs backside, but thats enough said, I'll save the rest of it for another day. Grin
