BP Using Oil Dispersant to Cover Tracks? - Julia Whitty

[19FLA69]

I think it's only around 40% methane ....41.8% ...as opposed to the common 5% from a normal "oil" reservoir extraction - get your HazMat gear ready!!! ...i'ze smellze tru'bbulz Bubblezzzz and it ain't yesterday's dinner.........

[GBS990]

Gee, I wonder who let the well run for weeks on end without accepting help from countries that knew how to clean it up, or even allowing BP to cap the well.

[ari1234a]

So Greenpoece ??? Where anre You ?

[goog2k]

@EPGAH Sorry, you're rambling and it sounds like you'd like to blame anyone but the oil & coal industries??

Americans are STILL consuming 4X the PER CAPITA energy & producing 4X the PER CAPITA CO2 & pollution as China.

If we want to get off our addiction to fossil fuels and reassert our leadership in energy technology we're going to need a concerted national effort.

A carbon tax to encourage conservation and pay for green energy infrastructure would do that.

Biz as usual is a road to disaster.

[blackiron60]

Another corporation trying to cover up its shit, typical. BP needs to be shut down hard.

[TheUltramagnus1]

I love how the microscope is on BP now. After all the dirty under handed shit they do to other countries its finally coming back to bite them in the ass. Karma is a bitch.

[REOcanada3]

Facts are determined epistemogically, scientifically and statistically by conscious and intelligent observers. Therefore facts are based on perception – TRUTH is not.

[RenegadeTimes]

C'mon BP cares about the marine life, the thousands of coast lines habitants and the fishing industry and the people who depend on it. Sure they care...

check who's using Put Options. Always ~ See who benefits.

Corrupt to the bone !

[MudHut67]

@Svendar

Who?

[lipoicacid]

Methane? Put a ''Barter Town'' in the Gulf to burn it all.

[ClearVista]

@goog2k

I agree we need to get off oil. A few prolblems with your other comments though.

1. "60 minutes" isn't scientifically peer reviewed. It is a current affairs show

2. When talking about the rig and BP disregarding safety practices. Is this the same rig that Transocean (the rigs owner) didn't have inspected for safety for over 10 years?

It is easy to point to finger. The responsibilty belongs to a lot more than just one organization.

[MudHut67]

@ClearVista

How about that blowout valve that failed during tests which wasn't replaced?

[ClearVista]

@MudHut67

I agree. I'm not saying that BP isn't at fault. Far from it. There has however, been a disproportionate amount of blame placed upon BP, and other parties that need to shoulder some of the responsibility have been generally ignored. As such, it can be said that they are getting away with it.

[MudHut67]

@ClearVista

Yeah well it looks like everyone including BP is getting away with it. In the end though its all our fault, we're addicted to oil. While we live our comfortable lives the poor have their country flooded with constant oil spills in Nigeria and others have their countries flooded with foreign invaders to feed that addiction.

[REOcanada3]

Hope at this interval is a misapprehension of the future, an illusion, which characterizes the lack of knowledge and accurate facts of the BP Oil Spill. Facts as such are not the fruitful elements of knowledge. To be useful, facts and details must be augmented by some relation so that an interpretation is possible; thereby we can proceed to resolve and restore the Gulf Region. Truth and facts are two different things – not similar; nor does one confirm the other. Reason is a clever negotiator.!

[MudHut67]

@REOcanada3

First off, what the hell are you saying that is of any relevance? secondly a truth is a fact and fact is truth, its just trivial semantics.

[Probesoul]

This woman is lying... all ya gotta do is listen to your gut.... there never was no big oil spill

[MudHut67]

@Probesoul

Are you serious? how about you get your fat ass down there then come back and spew that shit?

[Probesoul]

@MudHut67 shut up

[csaways]

This lady is for a carbon tax, so beware!

[MudHut67]

@csaways

Why?

[anikinippon]

That's hog wash, she is just riding the wave of hatred against the oil companies just like people rode the waves of hatred against the tobacco industries.

[anikinippon]

@anikinippon Oh yea, and I forgot, who is going to lose when all these lawsuits hit BP? Everyone at the pump, that's right, that's even if they clean everything up. Thanks a lot greedy environmentalists, you have won once again at the expense of the American people.

[Viracocha711]

@anikinippon You have been riding too many waves...BP & Tobacco deserve all the pressure & oversight they are getting. If congress knows what is best for the country then they had better pass firm new regs for oil & gas Co. You need pay attention & stop listening to Rush & FOX "News"

[anikinippon]

@Viracocha711 I don't listen to the news on their personal positions on how they feel, I only take the facts and make a decision based on them.

[Viracocha711]

@anikinippon If you are looking for "FACTS" on FOX "News" then you will be waiting a long time...FOX "News" is 100% propaganda! Even when a story favors the Republicans FOX "News" will add on BS or spin it to make it look worse. They NEVER report the just the FACTS! NEVER!

[anikinippon]

@Viracocha711 I didn't get my facts from Fox, what happens to a product when a company has to fork over a billion dollars in lawsuit damages? They lose money and the product prices go up, what does that have to do with Fox news? Nothing, it's objective reality, that's what happens.

[Viracocha711]

@anikinippon What happens to a drug company when they produce a product that kills people? What happens to a car company that makes cars that kill people? The same should happen to BP for what they have done...This is called responsible capitalism. Your point of view is much like those expressed on FOX "News" every night on almost every issue so I just assumed. Either way your point is not taken into consideration the whole story. Do you expect BP to walk with no punishment?

[anikinippon]

@Viracocha711 I'm not saying they won't be punished, I'm sure they will, but the consequences are inevitable too.

[antidoteco]

@anikinippon dear dicksucker with no morals who wishes he was an Asian - you suck dick

[polymath7]

@anikinippon You're a mindless animal.

[anikinippon]

@polymath7 So is a dolphin, but at least I have a brain smarter than that fish.

[MudHut67]

@anikinippon

Im fairly sure a Dolphin has better reasoning and cognitive skills that you.

[anikinippon]

@MudHut67 Two words, tuna can : )

[MudHut67]

@anikinippon

What? you can't open tuna cans either? oh dear....

[anikinippon]

@MudHut67 Even a dolphin could have figured I was referring to the dolphins that get caught in tuna nets and get processed into cans. They are dumb as a rock but delicious, I think I would outsmart them

[MudHut67]

@anikinippon

Your an asshole who as no fucking clue, I like that. Lets be friends.

[anikinippon]

@MudHut67 I might be an asshole but Dolphin is delicious, especially with BBQ sauce : )

[MudHut67]

@anikinippon Mmmm naaahhh not gona work body :)

[manfromregina]

@anikinippon you're not an ahole.

Eating a source of food is not a crime.

if the food is maintianed in a ethical / enviromental structure, all is good.

[MudHut67]

@anikinippon

Both for good reason.

[burntonion05]

I started watching the complete video at fora tv and it was sponsored by chevron. lol

[goog2k]

Some new fuel cells & wind are ALREADY competitive. Solar will be economically competitive within 5 years. However, we need to build a SMART power grid to get wind power from Midwest farms to the cities, and so we can put solar panels on our roofs and sell unused power back to the grid.

New algae biofuels can suck up CO2 coming out of fossil fuel plants & I just read about a new nanotechnology battery made from PAPER.

Stop oil subsidies. We must wrest Congress from the oil, coal & gas lobbies!

[wdgeo]

@goog2k You are absolutely right: "We must wrest Congress from the oil, coal & gas lobbies! "

E V E R Y O N E mark @goog2k's comment 10 hrs ago as "NOT SPAM". The global warming denialistas have no-doubt been busy suppressing anti-oil comments last evening.

[EPGAH]

@goog2k I would LOVE to see the world fixed and transformed by proper use of technology...

And yes, we need to upgrade our infrastructure. I saw a B-Movie on SyFy recently that accused America of being the only First World nation with a Third World power grid! It's sad because it's true, and we have more truth in "fictional" movies than in our NEWS!

However, I'd prefer to use nanotech for recycling than any biological entity, as engineered organisms can have unforeseen consequences!

[goog2k]

@EPGAH Not sure what you're referring to.

Algae biofuels do not require bioengineering. We could have an algae biofuel plant connected to every coal & gas fired power plant sucking up all the CO2 & producing a renewable fuel & that DOESN'T compete with food production.

The Chinese are already funding research. They’ll become the world's green energy technology leaders, if we don't get serious.

Oil & gas lobbies are killing American jobs & our energy future for their short term profits.

[EPGAH]

@goog2k Overfed algae=Eutrophication. Was a problem at a local lake, some algae eats up fertilizer runoff, but it killed the fish too!

The Chinese ARE funding research, BUT they also bought out the Rare Earths Mines in California and a few other places. Without those Rare Earths, we won't be ABLE to research Clean Energy, even if we wanted to!

[EPGAH]

@goog2k Also, in order to lower our DEPENDENCE on oil, we need to lower our CONSUMPTION of oil. Rather than focusing on EVIL SUVs, it should be pointed out that 75-95% of our oil--depending whose stats you want to believe--goes to Big Ag. In order to cut back our farms, we have to stop sending food to other countries. BUT if we do that, they starve, and we're "Racists" for acting for OUR best interests, rather than THEIRS!

[JanQuestSystems]

@goog2k you are exactly right. we work indirectly for a Chinese bioenergy corporation that is making strides heads and shoulders above the rest of the world.

[Probesoul]

Now that this may all be over and people gain access to the area and find that there is little or no oil anywhere the excuse now will be the disperants. No one will consider that maybe there was no big oil spill and that all this is a created illusion... an illusion that is now going to be sustained by the absence of oil due to the dispersants.

[McArrowni]

@Probesoul

And no one will consider that maybe UFOs did it. What's your point?

[Probesoul]

@McArrowni Once the UFO tin foil hat analogies from the ole worn out script start coming out you know you're over the target.

My point is exactly what I said.... go back and read it again

[imre1000]

So easy to use BP as a punching bag for all of this. I wish ForaTV would expose all the foreign owned cleanup boats that offered to help, but were refused because of Obama's loaylty to the labor unions.

Sounds like a conspiracy, but nope - you can look up "the Jones Act" and see for yourself.

[shalindriaharam]

this legal battle will go on for decades... victims of Exxon-Valdeez are just starting to see money and there's still issues from that spill. I wish BP would have explored alternative ways to clean up the oil. Yeah I'm sure some were batty, but some seemed pretty logical and eco-friendly.

[MuammarAlGathafi]

@shalindriaharam Criminally negligent super-giants like BP are the enemy, the call for global jihad should be given.

[EPGAH]

@shalindriaharam I had suggested to use vacuums fitted with molecular sieves--the same tech that filters oxygen into airplanes--and the people wielding the vacuums could sell the oil they collected to the refineries! Gainful, if temporary, employment!

Decentralized solutions may work better than waiting for a big, slow central entity!

[goog2k]

In the Gulf oil blowout it's been found BP was definitely overriding normal safety practice and disregarding Transocean's standard practice of packing the well with mud before sealing it.

BP also KNEW the "Annular gasket" was broken and wouldn't provide correct pressure readings but disregarded it.

This was revealed in "60 Minutes" recent expose' on the blowout.

My bet is BP will hang for this because they deliberately chose to disregard safety precautions

[MuammarAlGathafi]

@goog2k

Carbon tax? Who wants a fucking Chernobyl in their backyard. china can suck the tip of my AK-47, so can most of europe, especially Switzerland.

[goog2k]

We can get off most fossil fuels within 20-30 years if we put a concerted effort into solar, wind, fuel cells, electric cars, algae biofuels, and new nuclear technologies.

We also need a new national smart power grid to move electricity.

We can use a carbon tax on fossil fuels to pay for it, and it'll provide millions of JOBS that can't be exported.

Europe & China are ALREADY doing this and America will lose out in future green energy technologies, if we don't.

We owe it to our grandchildren.

[diotecktec2]

@goog2k This was voted as spam by someone else, ugh.. . Don't silence a view by marking it as something it isn't! Anyway, yes you are correct, but it'll never happen as long as the people with money and power are also the same people who run the oil industry. 

[goog2k]

@diotecktec2 Thanks. See new comment below.

[Phelan666]

@goog2k This comment is not spam. Whoever is doing that needs to get BP's cock out of their mouth.
