I see they are using the Super grade!
Wonder where they will dispose of it?

Wish that there were a way to flush it all away. In time it will go away I'm sure. ... but by then there will will be another incident elsewhere.  |

I don't know that it will go away... there has been a precedent set and the oil from that one is still sitting there just under the sand and sea... and that one was small compared to what is happening now.

What I mean is that in time the oil will no longer be impacting the immediate eco-culture. Sure the Alaska crude is still there, it's just a paved landscape buried in sand at this point though. Dunno how BP head honchos sleep at night though. By saving a few bucks in safety measures, they managed to degrade life for a huge chunk of the world's ecosystem and cut the company's worth in half.

Yes, the way they are talking, BP is a dead company now... with reports it is now ripe for a takeover. The trouble with that is it allows for more sweeping of the disaster under the carpet.
The other worry is that there are hundreds more of these wells using the same systems as BP operating all across most of the worlds oceans. There are 31 operating off the west coast of Australia right now. It would appear that power and greed are always going to win over the environment

Perhaps we should be thinking laterally about the situation and I'm not trying to be funny here. It seems every solution I have heard is a piss in the ocean idea, by the size of the slick the entire east coast of the US is in danger. There is a huge amount of spin about the war on terror, but the terrorists can only be jealous about the amount of damage greed has and still is causing, perhaps this is the wake up call the world needs, but I'm as sceptical as anyone as to the true outcome and responsibility for the whole fiasco. We know the shit burns so maybe a controlled burn might help, anyway Beth wants the computer so I'll catch yus later.

They are burning it, aren't they?
Its just crazy the amount that is flowing from that well. My question is that if its under that much pressure, what happens when the pressure stops? Does something give way??

That's how the world ends in 2012 no?
I'm sceptical about any concerted public pressure. While I was in Florida and talking to a few folks there, at least one came out and said that at least BP was trying to stem the flow. It was a "nothing ventured, nothing gained" sort of argument. I couldn't believe the laissez-faire attitude towards this disaster so close to the site of the crime.
