If BP LIED or knew about the Valve being BAD......

I just know that I have not seen a more horrible sight than the pics of the oil gushing out of the huge pipe into the water. I couldnt believe so much oil was gushing forward and it hadnt been capped. Darn just take some cement and pour it into the pipe and close up that pipe. Now I am seeing people cleaning pelicans and other birds with all that oil on them. That is sad. I just dont understand why it is taking so long for the oil companies etc to stop this!

Money is DRIVING this BS...........

BP has not and WILL not do what needs to be done because if they permanently cap or "destroy" the well, they will lose a 100 - 200 million dollar investment, not to mention the BILLIONS this may produce.

THE GUBMENT should step in, tell them to get the hell out of the way and detonate one of those theatre nukes in the hole. PROBLEM FIXED. May not even take a nuke.......How about a few hundred depth charges or a couple bunker busters, or whatever.

BOTTOM LINE.............BP is dragging ASS because the want the profits.

I agree George, its all about money for the rich. They just cant seem to get enough. Its like an addictive drug for them. I agree the Government should step in and order BP to close that well permanently. I have heard reports that Obama has gotten angry with BP about the hearings that they are having cuz the oil companies are not taking responsibility for the damage they have caused and have not stopped. I hope he steps in on this.

Talk about "armchair quarterbacks" this site is full of people that want to voice opinions and give suggestions on things which they know absolutely nothing about. And I am talking about a multitude of things not just GeoFisher's suggestion to drop a nuke on the well although that is right there at the top of the most ignorant things I have heard in a long time.

DUDE.........Most Ignorant thing you've heard, but the RUSSIANS have done JUST that at least 5 times successfully.

All the while Billions of dollars in future cleanup is being WASTED. NUKE the SOB.....be done with it.

George, did you read what your link said--there is a tremendous difference between blowing out an oilwell fire, like Red Adair used to do, and using a nuke underwater to hopefully cap the well. Such a move more than likely would destroy the well head and make it impossible to cap by any means.

Grumpy

[GeoFisher]

that is the idea...................I don't care if they destroy it or not..........what they are doing is NOT working.

AND the chemicals they are using are causing "plumes" of oil..........FUN.

I'm just saying they need to look at all options.....everything BP has offered has failed.

And so you want trust the repairs to the same government that created the Department of Energy that was supposed to have made us energy independent 30 years ago; the Department of Homeland Security that lets millians of illegal aliegns cross our INSECURE BORDERS; the Federal Emergency Management Agency that helped after Katrine and the CA wildfires, the Midwest floods, etc; the government that lost trillions fo dollars in morthgage financing; the government that can't keep Social Security and Medicare from going broke; and the same government that is going to administer our Healthcare; etc. etc. etc. Talk about the cure being worse than the desease. No thanks.

"Sorry, but at this moment, I am no longer okay with ANY increase in offshore drilling, even as a stop-gap measure."

Road Toad, we'll see if your tune changes when gas hits $5 or $8 or $10 a gallon.

Grumpy

IF (not WHEN) gas prices go that high, it won't be because we didn't ramp up our offshore drilling in 2010. It will be because we as a people were too fat dumb and happy to bother developing alternative, RENEWABLE energy sources.

We'll see if YOUR tune changes when you can't walk a mile on a beach in America without stepping on the oil-coated corpses of marine birds and animals, and can't eat what little seafood you can catch.
