Re: Free Oil!!!!! Come Get'cha Free Oil!!!! Hey Jason: Haven't been on the board for months - and when I log on the first thing I see is one of your posts! When I first heard of the rig fire and then the oil spill, I thought of you and your family. Yet another issue you guys have to deal with...unbelievable... Hope you are well and don't go swimming! Paul
Re: Free Oil!!!!! Come Get'cha Free Oil!!!! Every time I go swimming the next day there is reported sighting of manatees in the area.o No: Lake Ponchatrain (9th largest lake in the US)is open and CLEAN for the first time in nearly 30 years. We stopped dredging for shells in the 90s and worked on the polluted rivers feeding it and it has been awesome for fishing and recreation recently. I video makes by blood boil. IMO it should be front page news....:rant: :rant:
Re: Free Oil!!!!! Come Get'cha Free Oil!!!! Here's the latest NASA image. MUCH bigger than BP and DC are letting on. This is extremely serious as it has hit the big currents now. .http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblo...-of-gulf-spill-moving-towards-open-ocean.html Gov Christ adds Florida east coast counties to state of emergency due to oilgusher. All the way up to Palm Beach County. It will be up the eastern seaboard by the middle of summer it looks like. http://www.postonpolitics.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/2010-5-20-executive-order-10-106.pdf
Re: Free Oil!!!!! Come Get'cha Free Oil!!!! Here is some live video footage of the leak. Imagine the pressure at a mile down. http://billnelson.senate.gov/
Re: Free Oil!!!!! Come Get'cha Free Oil!!!! The fish are dying in my Parish..... "Fishers in St. Bernard Parish have been spotting an unusual amount of dead fish floating along the banks of the marshes in recent days, as the expanse of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill creeps more into the marshes of Breton and Chandeleur sounds. On a trip to monitor his oyster leases earlier this week, Shawn Assavedo came across a constant line of dead fish that spanned more than a mile along the banks in Eloi Bay, in the eastern and southern fringes of St. Bernard's marshes. He said other fishers had brought up the amount of dead fish in recent days, but he underestimated the expanse of the problem until he saw it. "I was just looking for one or two dead fish here or there, I wasn't expecting that kind of stuff," he said. "We've been living down here all our lives, and haven't ever seen anything like this." Assavedo spotted the collection of dead fish near the opening of the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet Channel - in a remote section of St. Bernard marshland. He said there wasn't visible heavy oil in the waterway. Calls to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries were not immediately returned Thursday evening." http://www.nola.com/news/gulf-oil-spill/index.ssf/2010/05/loads_of_dead_fish_wash_ashore.html BTW BP made 6 BILLION-YES 6 BILLION "greenbacks" in the FIRST QTR. THIS YEAR!!!!
Re: Free Oil!!!!! Come Get'cha Free Oil!!!! BP has conceded they are mistaken how much oil AND gas is leaking.... "NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- BP conceded Thursday that more oil than it estimated is gushing into the Gulf of Mexico as heavy crude washed into Louisiana's wetlands for the first time, feeding worries and uncertainty about the massive monthlong spill. Mark Proegler, a spokesman for oil giant BP PLC, said a mile-long tube inserted into a leaking pipe over the weekend is capturing 210,000 gallons a day -- the total amount the company and the Coast Guard have estimated is gushing into the sea -- but some is still escaping. He would not say how much. Several professors who have watched video of the leak have said they believe the amount spewing out is much higher than official estimates. Proegler said the 210,000 gallons -- 5,000 barrels -- has always been just an estimate because there is no way to measure how much is spilling from the seafloor. A statement released by BP Thursday stated the amount of oil being collected by the riser insertion tube tool is 3,000 barrels per day. There was no immediate explanation for the discrepancy between the amount given by BP and that reported by The Associated Press. "I would encourage people to take a look at the changing amount of oil coming from the ocean floor," said Steve Rinehart, another BP spokesman. "It's pretty clear that now that we're taking 5,000 barrels of oil a day, there's a significant change in the flow reaching the sea." http://www.nola.com/news/gulf-oil-spill/index.ssf/2010/05/bp_concedes_more_oil_spilling.html Truth is many a scientist have been arguing this for weeks.:rant: They put it at easily up to 80,000. Not 5,k!!!!! 80k!!!!!(NOW THAT IS BARRELS!!! NOT GALLONS!!!!) I should not have edited a previous post.ou: 80,000 barrels @ 50 gallons a barrel= 4,000,000 gallons A DAY!!!! For a frigggin' month!!!!!! 4,000,000 gallons a day for 30 days= 120,000,000 SO FAR!!!!:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: Now I know this is not exactly been agreed to, bt do yo think they release the maximum approximation?:idea2: Nah, me neither.....:af: So fihing spots have been reopened "inside" the coast. Might fish hopedale tomorrow. Gotta $hitload of W&F agents there along w/ BP reps. My friend was filmed for 2 hors fishing today. Hmmmmmmmm
Re: Free Oil!!!!! Come Get'cha Free Oil!!!! This is one of those things that I worry about but dont want to look at because whenever I do it makes me sick to my stomach :blast:
Re: Free Oil!!!!! Come Get'cha Free Oil!!!! Mike, I feel the same way. I don't watch the news anymore. It's to much. I read the 10 or so articles everyday. It gets me sick. People screwed up so much on this ,on every level that I just don't know anymore.:ball: I'm going to pet my dog......
Re: Free Oil!!!!! Come Get'cha Free Oil!!!! BTW this big broken line is one of 3 if you don't remember. The first was capped -I think 2 weeks after the boo-boo. The 3rd leak is responsible for another 15 % of nat. gas and crude escaping...:Smarty:
Re: Free Oil!!!!! Come Get'cha Free Oil!!!! Here is the link to the ROV camera live feed of the riser leak: http://www.bp.com/liveassets/bp_int...local_assets/bp_homepage/html/rov_stream.html
Re: Free Oil!!!!! Come Get'cha Free Oil!!!! This is shocking! Amature pics of the Gulf of Mexico from a Key West to Mexico flight. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos..._405666486136_542181136_4168675_7434270_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos..._405695596136_542181136_4169684_3187184_n.jpg I'm wondering if I should just pull up and leave Florida for good. This really doesn't look to get any better.
Re: Free Oil!!!!! Come Get'cha Free Oil!!!! What the F is the govt waiting for. Makes you wonder why BP is getting handled with kid gloves. Even the present administration own party is scratching their heads with this stupidity. Check out the link below. What to do you say. Well I could have told you two weeks ago. The federal Govt should have just taken it all over from BP. Unless BP is using political influences being that they have so much money invested in that leaking well head. If it gets closed up for good BP will lose that drilling sight and lose billions. Someone in Washington to better grow a pair. Its getting to the point that the Federal govt should share the blame too. Goes to show you no matter WHO is in office...THEY ALL SUCK! http://videos.mediaite.com/video/James-Carville-Slams-Obama-Admi
Re: Free Oil!!!!! Come Get'cha Free Oil!!!! There are over 3900 offshore oil rigs in the Gulf right now. So there is a lot of influence in Washington from the oil companies. We are coming fast into hurricane season and since this oil fiasco started, watch a hurricane decide to blow up into the Gulf. Imagine the huge environmental mess it would cause inland in any state when that oil gets sucked up and deposited as rain. Whatever state gets hit with oil tainted rain will be an unliveable disaster area. We are seriously thinking of selling out now and moving far north. Feds are stating that there will be no fix until well into August. I think a lot longer. Amazing how the feds and media are playing off like this is really no big deal.
Re: Free Oil!!!!! Come Get'cha Free Oil!!!! That cannot happen - oil cannot evaporate and become rain..........
Re: Free Oil!!!!! Come Get'cha Free Oil!!!! Sheppard Smith from Fox News was tearing open a new orifice on David Axelrod today for the administration's claim that they trust BP to fix this problem even though Todd Haywood (BP CEO) thinks this is only a minor to moderate environmental distraction.
Re: Free Oil!!!!! Come Get'cha Free Oil!!!! Yes you read it wrong. Hurricanes pull their moisture from the ocean, and it's very likely that a Gulf hurricane (or hell, an Atlantic one soon) could rain that GD oil on anyone. This is a very serious event. I'm scared for all of us from here to Europe to the Arctic. Did anyone see the 60 Minutes piece on this? That the blowout preventer seal came up into the rig a few days before? HEADS SHOULD ROLL.
