It seems less likely that this was some conspiracy and far more likely that they were aware of the (oil leak) problem before it was exposed to the public. Goldman is the single most connected company in the world, if this were the case, they would have known about it. In one person's eyes this is one big conspiracy, in my eyes, Goldman is acting in their best interest, and they took advantage of information they had access to. Is this insider trading? I'm not sure, but I don't think this story will gain enough momentum for this to ever come into question.

One small nuke device should shut off that oil well.

The concussion should shut off the pipe and the heat should melt it all shut.

One mile of ocean water should provide a nice shield.

Nuke it 'till it glows. Now please.

Russia agrees.

but..."The Russians were using nukes to extinguish gas well fires in natural gas fields, not sealing oil wells gushing liquid, so there are big differences, and this method has never been tested in such conditions."

I guess that's because the Russians, as reckless as they are, have never thrown caution completely to wind, and tried drilling at a depth like this without first making sure they could safely do it.

The sad fact of this and everything else is we believe that technology is the best thing out there and we're moving forward. In reality we're killing ourselves at the sake of 'creature comforts'. I give mankind 100 years tops and we'll be history. Eventually Mother Earth is going to say "fuck you enough is enough" and get rid of the parasites that's annoying her. That's if some nut case doesn't kill us first.

Again Democracynow.org has another show worth watching on this oil spill.

Again this is a news program that doesn't kiss BP's ass.. If you want to know what has happened to the PEOPLE of the area and what will happen in the near future you won't get it from BP Sponsored CNN or Fox news.

They are saying this will go on till Oct-Nov

It's hit Florida

democacy now will never produce anything credible. The name alone is a glaring statement that they are socialists, and no socialist is credible. And then there's the fact that their claim to fame is propping up a guy that was impersonating a US soldier in Iraq, when in fact he was a wannabee soldier, who was never in Iraq, and was kicked out of boot camp.

Just sayin...

The last socialist who tried his hand at the oil business was Hugo Chavez. Sitting on more oil than anyone in South America, and ran it into the ground so far that he can't get oil out of the ground, can't deliver on contracts, has to BUY oil from Russia just to make deliveries, and Caraca endures nothing but rolling blackouts daily.

Ethanol spill decision: No cleanup required

Tim Krohn

CAMBRIA — There will be no action taken to clean up the site of an ethanol spill from a railroad derailment, but monitoring wells will be installed.

State pollution officials said boring tests from the site near Cambria in Blue Earth County showed the soil is naturally very high in organic material, which will help speed the evaporation of ethanol and a small amount of gasoline.

And they found the ethanol is being contained well by clay under the topsoil and there has been no migration of pollutants and no pollutants detected in the Minnesota River.

“They think is will naturally evaporate rather quickly,” said Nancy Miller, a spokeswoman for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.

Six Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern Railroad cars derailed Nov. 22 with 30,000 gallons of ethanol, mostly from one tanker, spilling into the dry bed of the Little Cottonwood River.

Three thoughts immediately come to mind after reading that.

1) Hemp is the best crop for making ethanol with. If you don't believe me check out my article on hemp ethanol:

http://hemp-ethanol.blogspot.com/

2) Unlike an oil spill, a hemp ethanol spill is small - 30,000 gallons total instead of "estimated 210,000 gallons of oil a day" and could take "another ninety days" to cap (on top of the 30 so far) according to Democracy Now:

http://www.democracynow.org/2010/5/3/bp_oil_spill_worsens_with_no

3) And unlike an oil spill, a hemp ethanol spill would require no cleanup! It just evaporates!

I'm tired of waiting for the economic decisions of the world to finally be made by consumers instead of producers. I hope somebody with power and influence reads this, realizes the importance of switching to a fuel that evaporates when spilled instead of killing our planet, and then educates the public (and our rulers) into the importance of switching the massive energy subsidies currently given to oil companies over to sustainable fuel companies - especially ethanol production ... and we finally get around to removing the red tape around industrial hemp so it can easily compete with and replace oil.

Remember ... 6 times cheaper at the pump with no oil wars, no oil spills and a reverse of the greenhouse effect! There's no downside to hemp ethanol ... unless you're an oil company.
