Gulf residents outraged by BP CEO's yacht outing

and a bolt of lighting caught another oil skimmer on fire - maybe they are waiting on Alex to pass first?

ah... perhaps that's why it's taking a while to approve the use of world largest skimmer. Imagine if A-Whale was on fire. Now that would be another BP mess.... :Ohno:

got a source that BP has officially signed the contract with them? cuz I haven't seen any. I see that they're waiting for BP to pay up unless you got the latest info.

It would be pointless to sign a contract before the operation was cleared

do you mean to tell me that a powerful corporation with extremely deep pocket and hand in politic cannot get the ball rolling? BP has PR spokesperson from Dick Cheney and they can simply use the PR as leverage.

But I see nothing on BP side. Perhaps BP's not interested?

Florida lightning can be terrifying. Those storms just sneak up on you. They need to equip it with some lightning rods.

I just read a detailed report about A-Whale, it is not equipped to seperate oil from water, just collect 500,000 gallons of oily water.

What they need is Kevin Costner's centrifuge on that skimmer, that way they can collect 500,000 gallons of oil.

Just a thought.

If BP is going to use 32 of these centrifuges, they should put them on that skimmer.

I am trying to keep myself updated - here is a website BP made to keep everyone updated:

http://www.bp.com/bodycopyarticle.d...l&niadv=General&nipkw=kevin_costner_oil_spill


Subsea operational update:

• For the first 12 hours on June 27 (midnight to noon), approximately 7,935 barrels of oil were collected and approximately 4,075 barrels of oil and 27.4 million cubic feet of natural gas were flared.

• On June 26, total oil recovered was approx. 22,750 barrels:

• approx. 14,730 barrels of oil were collected,
• approx. 8,020 barrels of oil were flared,
• and approx. 52.9 million cubic feet of natural gas were flared.


The next update will be provided at 9:00am CDT on June 28, 2010.

ah I see you've done your homework. Fascinating information. Now that explains the delay. Simply pumping out 500,000 gallons into tanker will certainly cause a serious damage to ecosystem - most likely irreparable damage. I don't think many people (except you) understand how sensitive aqua-life is. A tiny change in pH or even oxygen level or a damage to corral reef will cause a ripple effect.

Thanks for fact-finding. It's unfortunate that one resorted to lowly smear tactic. The poster should take a lesson from you.

Sometimes smear tactics piss people off and force them to think ;)
 
in my young pre-teen and teen years, I aspired to be an oceanographer/marine biologist. The best school for it is in Israel and I don't speak Hebrew :(

I am just simply fascinated by the subject.

really? Israel? what makes that school great?

I think it has a lot to do with the variety of marine life in the Red Sea.

hmmm I see. I'm bit skeptical because the knowledge in that area may not largely work in America because of geographical & ecosystem difference but hey... why not? Them Israeli girls are :naughty: and the basic fundamentals do apply anyway.

I will be visiting there with my Jewish friend during Israel's winter time. I cannot stand uber-hot weather.

I have an old friend in Haifa that is deaf. If your in that neck of the forest across the pond, let me know ;)
 
101,656,002 gallons of oil in the Gulf 3:42 a.m. EST 06/28/10


BP better start selling .60 cent per gallon gas ....

edit: I have given this some considerable thought. I am reluctant to even post this so please just bear with me. For those living in the Gulf States, pick a route before it gets congested. The oil leak has not dropped in pressure and it has almost been 70 days. Unless something is done, there will be a mass exodus. Oil is very toxic.

I hated to say it.

Just have a plan in place.
 
BP fined $5.2 million for tribal lands inaccuracies
BP America Inc. has been fined nearly $5.2 million for submitting "false, inaccurate and misleading" reports on energy production on Southern Ute Indian tribal lands in southwestern Colorado, the Department of Interior said Wednesday.

Tribal auditors discovered the errors during an audit conducted as part of a cooperative agreement with the bureau's Minerals Revenue Management Program, and the tribe brought them to BP's attention in August 2007, the department said.

After receiving audit letters and an order, BP agreed with auditors' concerns and "repeatedly promised to correct the problems, which they attributed to errors in their automated files," the department said.

But when federal officials and tribal auditors examined later production reports, the same errors were found, according to the Ocean Energy Management bureau's director, Michael Bromwich, "leading us to conclude that BP's continued submission of erroneous reports was knowing or willful."

and I continue to stand by my comments about BP knowingly and willfully operating it in a shrewd way....
