Keep your fingers crossed that they can get this damn thing capped.

Pretty amazing that they are doing this remotely a mile deep in the ocean.

It is pretty amazing that BP could have installed emergency shut off valves up stream from the leak but decided that protecting the eco system was just not worth the extra cost…

BP Bringing oil to American shores...

[CosmicCowboy]

Great, now the saw is stuck.

[MiamiHeat]

to be honest

I know it's stupid of me

but I want the spill to keep on spilling.

so that BP will go down in flames, bankrupt, and this oil spill will go down in history and be etched into the minds of americans for many decades :)

hopefully it spurs the country to begin funding for scientific research into renewable clean energy.

Nothing will ever change unless we force it upon them.

This is how all great men have led populations for millenia.

Once the country is in some sort of danger, they empower the government and yell for salvation.

Bring on the clean energy, don't be naive CosmicCowboy.

Are you so stupid that you don't know that lots of people are already working on renewable fuels?

The government actually needs to get the fuck out of the way. Any time they try to manipulate the winners/losers they fuck it up.

You are the naive one thinking government is the answer.

Just look at ethanol from corn as a perfect example. That is the stupidest alternative fuel option out there but the subsidies went to the highest bidders. ADM bought and paid for their politicians and has siphoned off billions of our tax dollars while squeezing out all other viable renewable alternatives.
