BP Oil Spill Becoming Political
Posted: May 26, 2010
I never saw James Carville so furious and I don't blame him. This is oil spill is absolutely unforgiveable. The marshlands are being destroyed and probably the whole fishing industry for a few years, if not more than decades.
I was reading other reports yesterday and I always read the poster's comments. Some say stop depending on oil and depend on nuclear, solar, and wind. That's easier said than done. Solar and wind are expensive and not a guarantee for northern climates. Nuclear. NEVER! Since Three Mile Island, I don't trust nuclear energy (or the people responsible for running those plants). So many people, including me, had so much stress after that incident. My cousin moved back here during it (he lived 3 miles from the plant), but even so, we would have also been fried if it had thoroughly melted.
Until there is a better use to make electricity to run everything, we have no choice. Sorry, got off my point which is, those who want to stop off shore oil drilling have to remember that this is the worst oil spill since the Valdez. I do believe BP should be fined heavily and forced to pay the cost of the full cleanup, and definitely have all their leases recinded.
Oh, and BTW, did you hear the government is thinking about putting in a $.32/gal. oil and gas tax towards the cleanup? Guess who that affects? You and me again. When will the government realize the taxpayers can't foot the bill for everything anymore? They better take their blinders off. I'm really getting frustrated,furious, mad as HE11.

I too am tired of this BS. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]The idea of taxing us to pay for this is total crap. All BP, the drilling company, and our gov't can do is stand around and talk while pointing fingers. Stop pointing fingers and f'ing do something to stop the leak.
true! The government should put out a tender - sm
[ In Reply To ..]"Proposals to stop the oil leak in the Gulf."
Winner reward:
$ 1 million.
what amazes me is that till now nobody - omg
[ In Reply To ..]could come up with a solution to stop this leak.
Shouldn't companies have thought about this before starting drilling?
It is completely disgusting - I agree
[ In Reply To ..]I was one of those who was hoping that Obama was the change this country needed. I believe this DISASTER that is happening in the Gulf is an indication of his disengagement with this country. I am totally disgusted with him and his lack of caring and/or action on just about everything.
People's lives and livelihoods are being literally wiped out while he is out partying at fundraiser in California put on by the Getty family!!!?!?!
He is a big mistake, I see that now. I just hope we can work around him for the next few years until we can get him out of there!

The Oil SpillJun 14, 2010
This is an email forward I received today. I searched and found another related article, see the link at bottom. ***** Email Forward ***** First fact, the original estimate was about 5,000 gallons of oil a day spilling into the ocean. Now they're saying 200,000 gallons a day. That's over a million gallons of crude oil a week! I'm an engineer with 25 years of experience. I've worked on some big projects with big machines. Maybe that's why this mess is so clear to m ...

I realize he killed 10 people in cold blood but who are we to play God and take his life too? I do understand the Bible saying "an eye for an eye". I read a lot of true crime, ...
