  2. so... we brought the boomstick down on BP over their chemical dispersant and they have to use something less toxic... This is ridiculous, beyond a nightmare. That shit has been blowing out like that every second of every day for a month already. Shit looks like diarrhea when it comes ashore. its going to fuck the gulf like ya wouldn't believe cuz we're gonna get the extra special time released effect as the shit the pressure is keeping down and all the dispersant shit creep and spread and kill the shit in its way for a long time. Valdez was a surface spill compared to this mile fuckin down retarded bullshit. Its been 20 mutherfuckin years and you can still find oil under beach rocks in Prince William Sound. this didn't have to happen. BP screwed the pooch, they were negligent and there should be NO CAP on wtf they can be sued for. people are dead and multiple states are going to be fucked by this spill. Nice of them to put Halliburton back in the headlines though. this didn't have to motherfucking happen. we can drill everything we fucking have and still not be off foreign oil. Our production doesn't amount to shit. its certainly not worth this fucking bullshit. We shouldn't be drilling anything we should be finding a REAL solution to our fucking energy problems. Barak OBush aint listenin to the drill baby drill fucks now is he? More drilling ain't the change I voted for.
  3. Gulf Disaster: One Month Since BP Explosion -- Massive Suit Filed to Stop Illegal Drilling Exemptions Today marks the one-month anniversary of the Gulf of Mexico BP oil-spill catastrophe -- and the oil is still gushing, with no end in sight as each fix, untested in deep water, continues to fail. Attempting to break up the oil, BP has released about 655,000 gallons of toxic chemical dispersants, some banned in the UK, into the Gulf. In response to the big unknown about how these will affect marine life, our scientists just posted a new Web page. Experts now estimate that the spill has already disgorged about 30 million gallons of oil into the Gulf -- nearly three times the amount spilled during the 1989 Exxon Valdez accident in Alaska, though BP continues to refuse to help scientists determine exactly how much oil is really spilling each day. It's predicted that oil caught up in the Gulf's powerful Loop Current will reach Key West by the weekend and could reach Miami next week. Twelve dead bottlenose dolphins, 24 dead oiled birds, and 156 dead Kemp's ridley sea turtles -- more than three times the usual number of sea turtles found dead during spring nesting season -- have washed up on the coastline. Twelve oiled birds have been rescued and are still alive. Yet as the Gulf disaster grows, the Interior Department has blithely continued to approve more Gulf drilling without environmental review. The Center filed a landmark suit this week against Interior Secretary Ken Salazar over the use of illegal "categorical exclusions" that exempted Big Oil from conducting necessary review of environmental impacts to endangered species and their habitats -- first exposed in The Washington Post covering the Center's Gulf research. "Ken Salazar has learned absolutely nothing from this national catastrophe," said Kieran Suckling, Center executive director. "This lawsuit seeks to turn Salazar's fictitious 'moratorium' on oil-drilling approvals into a real one. It is outrageous and unacceptable that Salazar is still illegally exempting dangerous offshore drilling projects in the Gulf of Mexico from all environmental review as tens of millions of gallons of oil gush into the ocean."
