There is an oil spill everyday at Coal Oil Point (COP), the natural seeps off Santa Barbara, where 20-25 tons of oil have leaked from the seafloor each day for the last several hundred thousand years.
Twice an Exxon Valdez spill worth of oil seeps into the Gulf of Mexico every year.
But the oil isn't destroying habitats or wiping out ocean life. The ooze is a natural phenomena that's been going on for many thousands of years, according to Roger Mitchell, Vice President of Program Development at the Earth Satellite Corporation (EarthSat) in Rockville Md. "The wildlife have adapted and evolved and have no problem dealing with the oil," he said.
Earth Satellite Corporation scientists found that there are over 600 different areas where oil oozes from rocks underlying the Gulf of Mexico.
Amazing shit,the ONE in Cali dumps 80 times the exxon valdez into the ocean yearly!!80 times!!
And they want us to believe this one is horrible,up until an hour ago I was sold that it was a horrible problem,BILLIONS of gallons of oil have been being pumped into the oceans DAILY since time began,we been eatin shrimp and oysters and fish for all that time too no........
EVERY SINGLE GOVERNMENT REPORT IS A LIE!
EVERY THING THEY TELL US IS A LIE!
ITS ALL ABOUT MONEY AND HOW MUCH THEY CAN MAKE,period!!!
It really amazes me how alarmist people are. Many of you have no idea of the facts, and would rather just call out for the immediate abandonment of petroleum production.
And of course the chiming in and blaming of everything on the corrupt Bush and Cheaney.
Any of you that state we should immediately stop this killer petroleum production needs to have the balls to back up your statements. You need to be the ones to first show us the way. Show us how to live without the production of petroleum. This will mean you must immediately (to use a popular term) divest yourselves of everything that is associated with petroleum production. If you are not willing to do that, then you are only spouting off bullshit in an attempt to make yourself look like a caring individual.
Caring is not the proper term...ignorant is.
Driving would be first off your list...then clothing.
Then the food you eat, including the containers it is within...
I could go on and on and on...but it wouldn't make a fucks bit of difference to any of you, would it?
You don't mean one fucking thing you say, and you are really only being lemmings. Mental lemmings. No critical thinkers in this bunch at all it seems...
Sad really the way the human mind works.

Seizure of BP? Is that a joke, or a call to more fascism by this administration? You really think the instant the government takes over BP it will ever be profitable? Wrong. It will instantly be in the red forever, increasing in the red exponentially each year. Also, the government is the largest polluer on earth, so BP will instanly be the largest polluter on earth. The government has a VERY few enumerated powers. "Government Oil Company" isn't one of them.
Pretty fucking sad that people like hoosier can't see past the brainwashing and indoctrination they have been subject to and see something other than what they have been trained to accept as reality....
Frozenguy, I am insulting because what I am responding to is insulting.
And you can spout all you want about bio diesel, but I suggest you do some research to see if that is a viable option. May want to brush up on math too, because it may be math that brings the light to your eyes.
There is no viable form of alternative energy, such as ethanol or biodiesel, that can sustain us. The logistics are just not there to make it happen, and math can help to show people this.
And it is easy to say we need to do more...or, bio diesel isn't viable because not enough research was put into it. But the fact is that math, as I stated before, will show that it isn't a matter of research...it's logistics. If I have to explain that further, maybe I should just save the ascii?
It was oil companies that came up with ways to save on our oil consumption. Although many like you want to throw stones at them and make baseless charges about how they conduct their activities, or even how much money they have and how they spend it.
And I highly doubt you are up on the regulations and other hamstrings that bind the oil industry. It is easy to show a big profit (that simple minded folks get all in a jealous tizzy over) when the government controls what and how you can or cannot spend your money.
But then that is another issue that many have no fucking clue about.
Back to my point about the oil companies and their research and development....
It was big oil that developed synthetic oils. You know..like mobileone motor oil?
These formulations can and will last up to FIVE TIMES LONGER than conventional group3 oils. Now why would big oil go and provide a product that can outlast their previously best seller by so much? Would that move show them out for control of the crude oil business and attempting to keep us strapped to it?
Educate yourself...and stop being hateful towards those who happen to have looked into these things. Or...continue to knee-jerk. (shrug)
Although every major oil spill from a tanker or a rig, hitting coastal areas and beaches and killing marine life and seabirds, is a tragedy and causes much damage, it has been estimated that oil spills in conjunction with tanker accidents or oil platform blowouts account for a minor part, approximately 10-15 per cent, of the total annual oil input of oils to the marine environment. According to a recent report by the National Research Council of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the total input of oils to the marine environment is about 1.3 million tonnes per year. The main categories of sources that contribute to this input are: natural seeps — 46%; discharges from consumption of oils (operational discharges from ships and discharges from land-based sources) — 37%; accidental spills from ships — 12%; offshore extraction of oil — 3%.
