Cleaning oil-soaked wetlands may be impossible

Yeah this is pretty infuriating. A friend of mine was preaching about how we need to get away from oil last night, but really oil hasn't been in widespread use all that long so it's not that unreasonable that we're still using it. It just sucks that we make horrific mistakes like this.
 
Nah, I am good. Glad to get paiddddddddddddddd

You speak about an industry like you know the procedures we do and create to stay as safe as possible. You are ignorant. You are mad son. You mad.
 
Pre-spill precautions

In February 2009, BP filed a 52-page exploration and environmental impact plan for the Macondo well with the Minerals Management Service, an arm of the U.S. Interior Department that oversees offshore drilling. The plan stated that it was "unlikely that an accidental surface or subsurface oil spill would occur from the proposed activities" and that "due to the distance to shore (48 miles (77 km)) and the response capabilities that would be implemented, no significant adverse impacts are expected".[51]
After concluding that a massive oil spill was unlikely, the Interior Department exempted BP's Gulf of Mexico drilling operation from a detailed environmental impact analysis last year. The decision by the department's Minerals Management Service to give BP's lease at Deepwater Horizon a "categorical exclusion" from the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) on April 6, 2009
 
Because of our good runs, since I am not completing wells, I hope our portion of the industry remains the same. We are already hammered enough when we develop a new field.
 
only good thing about it is that wetlands are natural water cleansers so nature should be able to handle it there, animals will die but it won't be like that forever
 
He knows about drilling on land. The oil price caused such a slow down that most operations on land were out for quite some time causing a shot down of a lot of supply companies for on land stuff.

Then again, he got his degree in Petroleum Geo-physics.

reading this right now, if anyone is interested.
 
name calling? really?

I'm not ignorant. I already said I worked for Shell this past summer.

I've seen first hand how they fuck shit up.
 
There is no real alternative and I bet after this all happens well see this clean energy bandwagon shoot off and it will die fast and back to where we are now.
 
I think what angers me the most about this whole thing is the fact that it's already become quite clear that BP did not have a feasible plan for dealing with a situation like this so they are having to experiment as they go a long. That is infuriating. The disaster itself is just tragic. I think the impact it is going to have on the ecology in the Gulf is going to be significant. At the same time I'm sort of selfishly hoping that fucking oil doesn't get carried by currents around to our coral reefs in the Keys and on to our beaches in Florida. Probably only a matter of time though.
 
It is not my fault the media has to play to other items instead of caring about real problems. As discussed before, we have other pressing issues that never get airtime.

Humans are fucked, get over it.

People want change, but are too lazy to do anything about, let alone lessen our dependency on oil.
