not that they don't know what to do, but that they're taking for-fucking-ever in doing any of shit.

oh, should we close this completely?

nah, we can skim oil still from this, let's wait.
 
Great article by The Economist showing how difficult this is for BP to fix

That doesn't mean there isn't any onshore. We need to drill onshore first, then move to the more dangerous operations as we deplete these reserves.

Of course, we also need to be working on fossil fuel alternatives while this is happening.
 
Stop drilling for oil. Stop driving cars. Stop eating.

Just suicide the species. Problem solved m i rite

we've given a shit for the past 25+ years.


no one has cared until recently, and they still don't for the most part.


Basically after the 192X flood of New Orleans, the Army Corps built levees all the way to the mouth.

They've kept the river from shifting channels (to the Atchafalaya River) and have forced it's rich waters off the continental shelf. These waters used to replenish marsh, but they can't do that when that's the case.


Then when oil drilling became big in the 50s down here, canals were cut all over the marshes and basically exposed them to saltwater intrusion and increased erosion (more areas exposed to open water).

It's really, really really sad.


We've lost some 3,400 sq. miles of coast over the past century.
 
Ever since Obama received a 77 thousand dollar contribution from BP (the most towards any president/politician), thats all he thinks of as well
 
coming back to galveston on the cruise ship i was on last week i could actually smell the spill, it was horrific.
 
beats relying on the towelheads for oil. as long as they keep the disasters in the shitty parts of america that nobody cares about, ie the entire southeast. say, is there any oil in the great lakes?
