Actually everybody who works offshore, or supports the offshore oil and gas industry. Not all those folks who support the industry live in Louisiana.





Well head? are you sure you got that right? From what I have read and heard in the news media, along with watching some of the joint MMS /Coast investigation on C-Span, the well head is not the issue... Well stability and the process and methods which were employed to mitigate those risk are a central part of what went wrong that night. also BOP maintaince / operation. There are even questions as to why the EDS system failed to operate when activated.

The more Congress and MMS /Coast Guard dig into this the better picture we'll have as to the chain of events from management (TOI and BP) all they way down to the individuals on the rig who were forced to follow such directives

No. The deposits they are accessing in the deeper parts of the Gulf of Mexico could not be accessed by near-shore platforms. They are building in that part of the Gulf to turn a profit on never before drilled reservoirs.

Frankly, you have no idea what you are talking about.

the eco-KOOKS are in bed w/the oil co.to assure there's minimal in close/land based drilling:



Free-Market Analysis: We blame American oil companies for this most recent oil spill, but not for the predictable reasons. American oil companies, in our opinion, have helped set up a situation where there is a substantial amount of oil production offshore, even though there doesn't need to be. It's been our opinion all along that US oil companies especially, have been funding Green movements in the US and abroad to help ensure that regulatory issues prevent drilling in the lower 48. This forces drilling offshore and inevitably there will be oil spills – maybe massive ones that are hard to clean up.

I don't know about the Gulf but in California there are an estimated 1.3 billion barrels of recoverable oil right off its coast but because it's not sightly and because of bad memories of the Santa Barbara oil spill in 1969 it's not allowed.

Also 16 Billion in ANWR companies are not allowed to touch.

There is more oil underwater than on land, An estimated 2 trillion barrels and idiot oil companies have basically screwed themselves, an us, from exploration with being careless. Every so called accident was nothing of the such but carelessness and rushes on production which overlooked problems.

There are other major Louisiana industries that will be affected. The fishing industry will see some impact; Possibly the farming industry as well. The combined effect is going to hurt our economy severely, which will trickle down to everyone living here.

The vast majority of OCS reservoirs are being drilled. There is drilling in South California and the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska and they are focused on the larger reservoirs. Lifting the ban would add a rather moderate amount of additional crude oil / natural gas, and probably increase the output from the current 27 platforms in California.

Regarding the loon spewing shit about ecokooks causing this, he's out of his mind because laws or no laws this platform would still have been constructed because it was a profitable drill site.

you can blame the eco-KOOKS for this whole mess. They kept pushing the oil rigs into deeper water.

Yes, of course environmental campaigners (who are against all fosil fuel use) encourage oil companies to drill unsafely, and are to blame when they screw it up, you complete and total tosser...

Everyone gets fucked over. Least they get their countries within the country and can do WTF they want hunt and fish anytime and in anyway including dynamite. Some are really really wealthy like the Osage average wealth $600,000 (from oil of course). They get National Health care since forever. I'd rather be an Indian than many other conquered peoples. Not saying it's right but all fuck jobs are relative.

they could operate the rigs in shallower waters closer to land rather then 5 miles out and one mile down to the drilling surface and many thousands of feet to the oil. do the math. your green scum eco-KOOKS are to blame for all of this.

an energy equivalent is required. So far nothing comes close to the energy density/portability/usability of oil/gas. as far as running out, I doubt it. we are finding oil in areas where there was never any geographical turnover which suggests oil may be renewable because it's a product of deep earth activity rather then the dino "theory". The eco-KOOK agenda is to stop all human activity and bring back contagious disease. Read their book, "The Earth Without US" (required serra club kook reading).

Um....yeah...you don't know what you're talking about.

Very reliable source you've got there, a conspiracy theorists forum. I always knew you were a toolbag, but at least you've finally decided to get fully out of the closet and show just how much.

Yeah, you know who else is getting screwed over? All the similarly affected white and black people in the area. NA has nothing to do with it and should have never been brought into the conversation to begin with
