200,000 Gallons A Day

I completely forgot geothermal.

Mea culpa.

I purposefully left out a few really freaky technologies which are possible, but not probable (MHD), or far too weather sensitive (Tidal, and a couple of really oddball thermal techs)

Mea culpa.

Just don't let it happen again....

Who is blaming the President on a exclusive level?

Follow the money. You know, never let a crisis go to waste.


Obama authorizes a 2 billion dollar loan to Brazil's oil company, Petrobas. Petrobas is going to drill almost 1500 meters DEEPER than the Deepwater Horizon. (I thought the accident that happened was because it was to risky because it was too deep?) Better yet, who is Petrobas's largest shareholder? You guessed it... George Soros.

How much did ole' Georgy donate to Obama's campaign? Who is the real winner by just banning all offshore drilling? Hmmmmm....

Never let a crisis go to waste indeed. "Look over here! Lets beat up the 'evil' Texans. Never mind what's going on over there...."

FWIW, BP indeed made mistakes. Seems to me they are paying for them. I wonder what will happen to the 'insiders' who also have a role in the blame trail?

Right... Some people are pathologically incapable of admitting a mistake. Bummer, because the best medicine is the kind that tastes bad.

It's fun watching the worst administration in US history** flail away. Fun and yet so very sad that it took what is going on to wake the people up.

**That's saying something, considering what we have recently endured.

Side note.... STILL with the out of context "doo doo" line? LOL I always wanted to be (in)famous.

Why are so many people lining up to scapegoat BP? They arent the only ones who caused this mess. Everybody who hand a hand in this disaster that stood by and let it happen should be held accountable, and actually held accountable in a court of law not a Chicago style shakedown. Transocean, Haliburton, state and fed agencies who signed off on the permits and inspections, the MMS who gave the Deep Water Horizon a safety award all need to be called on the quarterdeck for this. The PotUS and Congress for not working around the Jones act to get the Dutch skimmers into the Gulf when they offered their assistance? Why are the feds hampering states efforts to contain the spill with skimmers and dredging up sand bars?

BP couldnt have dug up this amount of doo doo on their own.

McCain doing what Barry wouldnt.

Friday U.S. Senator John McCain, R-AZ, introduced legislation for a total repeal of the 1920 maritime law, which mandates that all goods shipped between U.S. ports be transported in U.S.-built, U.S.-owned and U.S.-manned ships.

Hawaii Congress member Charles Djou, R, D-HI, in a letter June 23, joined GOP congress members from Florida and Texas in asking President Barack Obama for a Jones Act exemption in the Gulf of Mexico. Djou says the law is deterring foreign countries from bringing in highly trained workers and the latest technology to lend their expertise.

Im torn on this one....

The Jones Act gave Barry an excuse to let this disaster get as bad as it has, never let a good crisis go to waste. I agree with Djou, exemptions should be made, but not a full blown repeal. But if the only way to get it done is a full blown repeal, lets have it.

Hi all:
These pictures were taken by a friend, on his Turtle Walk this morning at the State Park beach. Trying to keep you all informed of the mess. Another friend has pictures of the beach in Pensacola with oil buried 6 inches before the surface. So very sad and depressing.



Not a pleasant morning for our Turtle Walk along the beach at Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores, AL.

Saw no turtle tracks nor turtles. Found much oil and a dead sea bird instead.

Oh wow, those pictures are worst than any I've seen on TV. They can
clean all they want, but it will never be the same beautiful place it was.
