BTW, we're not pulling oil from the "center of the earth"

It's in the lithosphere, which is the top roughly 70 Km of the earth.

The Deepwater Horizon was drilling at a depth of 13 Km into the lithosphere.



The center of the earth would be another 6500 Km below that.

The Earth is BIG, guys.

I am kidding, the OS news makes me ill too.....but what can we do, as the public at large to seal the well?

IF all the buttwipes - people that wanted the rigs pushed father off shore are to blame, the gov't. for not putting in stricter guidlines-altho every company does cut corners-and the common folks who really do not pay attention to the world around them.

The baby gets tossed out with the bathwater.

And all of us saw him in the tub before he went out the window.
