Oil Spill Ocean Ships

In the above video you can see the BP oil spill, lots of oil in the Gulf of Mexico, Transocean drilling ships and the Transocean container ship burning off the gas from the siphon tube which has been placed inside the leak 5000 feet below the surface of the ocean. Their are very large plumes of oil under the surface which have recently been discovered by NOAA scientists and the research vessel Pelican.
The fact that BP was granted environmental exclusions was questioned today in a hearing on capitol hill where MMS Director Ken Salazar defended the Minerals Management Service by saying that the exclusions were granted because they only had 30 days to approve or disapprove drilling plans. He proposes changing the environmental review to 90 days.
The Deepwater Horizon project was an untested deepwater project. There were high biological impacts if a spill were to occur. It was a hazardous operation. It was technologically experimental. The displacement of mud before the explosion was unusual. The efforts to mitigate the spill with the containment dome, the siphon straw pipe and the relief wells were brainstormed on an 'ad hoc' basis. There may have been undue influence on the approval process. Mr. Salazar blamed the current situation on the previous administration. He is moving forward on changing the system so that the over site and approval of wells are separate agencies within the Department of the Interior and the MMS. Nancy Sutley, Walter Rosenbush, Johnnie Burton and Randall Luthi were former MMS directors who are now out of the spotlight. The 'big unknown' is the amount of oil plume in the water. The MMS has no idea where the oil is under the water. The NOAA is only beginning to study this now.
NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco today announced that part of the oil sheen has possibly entered an eddy of water headed for the loop current. If the oil enters the loop current, it may show up as tar balls in the Florida Keys and on Florida beaches. However, the bulk of the oil remains at this time north and west of the loop current. A small sheen of oil has entered the area of the loop current and it will be moving with the current. The oil will become very diluted and highly weathered as it travels around Florida and up the Eastern seaboard. The condition that the oil is in will continue to change as it is weathered by the sea water.

Make BP provide a $ 500 debit card for every cleaning crew member. They can spend the money to support restaurants and stores in the area that so badly need it now. Don't let BP get away with the mess they have created. Let's Make'em Pay!

It`s about time we get some answers, how about if it NEVER gets plugged, how long do we have, till all sea is covered?

Check out youtube`s " DARVAZ BURNING HOLE "

A coal mine in Turkmenistan, suddenly it started spewing gas, so the workers had to flee for their lives.

The company decided to fire it up so the gas would burn away, and they could get on with their coal business.

This happened in 1970, and THE FIRE STILL RAGES ON UNSTOPPABLE 40 YEARS LATER !!!!!!
