Have you seen the poll from Alaska they are overwhelmingly in favor of it. Yet the federal government wont let them.
You dumb twits what do you think will happen if gas hit 10 dollars a gallon.
John you did read this? You cant escape anymore than you can escape your ignorant statements about hybrids and electric autos. It will always follow you around. Stop running buddy. Its like a bird thats coated in oil. Trapped.Quote:

Yes I know you libs like the conspiracy therories. Yes Hows that War with Iraq because Bush and Chaney wanted the oil for themselves going for you.
Let me quess john. You are ignoring this science huh? Lol. You cant escape john.:DQuote:

You force oil companies to go 10 miles out when there are much bigger reverves much closer and much more shallow waters yet then you want to claim we are running out. We are only running out because idiots like yourself are STOPPING them from GETTING it.
Here because you are a twit let me give you a simple example even you should be able to get:
If I said to my wife I cant get that because I dont have anymore money. THAT WOULD BE A LIE. Just because I may not have money on me does not mean I could not get more from the bank if I wanted to.
Me putting restrictions on myself does not mean cant get it if I wanted.
John/English dictionary
New word.
John:Safty
English:Safety
:)
Sorry John but i aint going to let you off so easy. You said the issue was only about oil hitting land. You're actually quite wrong. So read the above.Quote:

Its very reasonable. Not sure why you cant wrap your mind around it. Do you own a lot of coal and oil stocks is that why it scares you?. Cant figure it out. Seriously.Quote:

Scientists find evidence of large underwater oil spil

Scientists have found evidence of a large underwater "plume" of oil in the Gulf of Mexico, adding to fears that much of the BP oil spill's impact is hidden beneath the surface.
The scientists, aboard a University of South Florida research vessel, were testing the water in sites east and northeast of the leak's source. The university said they detected traces of dissolved oil as deep as 1,300 feet below the surface.
That test seemed to confirm the fears of some scientists that -- because of the depth of the leak and the heavy use of chemical "dispersants" -- this spill was behaving differently than others. Instead of floating on top of the water, it may be moving beneath it.
That would be troubling because it could mean the oil would slip past coastal defenses such as "containment booms" designed to stop it on the surface. Already, scientists and officials in Lousiana have reported finding thick oil washing ashore despite the presence of floating booms.
It would also be a problem for hidden ecosystems deep under the gulf. There, scientists say, the oil could be absorbed by tiny animals and enter a food chain that builds to large, beloved sport-fish like red snapper. It might also glom on to deep-water coral formations, and cover the small animals that make up each piece of coral.
"It kills them because it prevents them from feeding," said Professor James H. Cowan Jr., of Louisiana State University. "It could essentially starve them to death."
The University of South Florida vessel, the Weatherbird II, used sonar and other devices to sample the water below it. Other scientists have said they have little of the equipment necessary to find oil under the water -- leading to debates about whether the underwater plumes were even there.
This week, Mike Utsler, who helps oversee the spill response off the entire Louisiana coast as BP Houma incident commander, said he's only focused on taking oil off the surface. "We don't know there's oil underwater," he said.
But others had seen worrisome evidence.
Owen Morgan of Amira, a group that specializes in breaking apart spills with oil-eating microbes, found evidence of the oil plume off Venice when his team sampled water 75 feet beneath the service. Morgan -- who said his company is pulling out of Louisiana because of insufficient cooperation from state and federal authorities -- showed a thick, gooey sample consisting of 60 percent crude oil.
"People don't realize how bad it is," Morgan said, dipping a fork in the sample to show the goo that hung in midair without sliding off. "This went on for three miles, of that consistency."

"One of their tools, a program the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration uses to predict how oil spills on the surface of water may behave, suggests that more than a third of the oil may already be out of the water.
About 35 percent of a spill the size of the one in the Gulf, consisting of the same light Louisiana crude, released in weather conditions and water temperatures similar to those found in the Gulf now would simply evaporate, according to data that The Associated Press entered into the program.
The model also suggests that virtually all of the benzene — a highly toxic flammable organic chemical compound and one of the chief ingredients in oil — would be stripped off and quickly vaporize.
The model was not designed for deepwater spills like the one at the Macondo well in the Mississippi Canyon now threatening the Gulf Coast. But experts said the analysis might give a close approximation of what is most likely happening where the oil plume is hitting the surface nearly 50 miles south of Louisiana."

Humm I dont think you missed this but somehow felt it was not worth putting up!!!!! Maybe because it does not go along with your ideology.
