BP Oil Drilling Disaster: Gulf Restoration Network Research Brief prepared by Nick Poggioli
~The following summary of the DeepSpill Joint Industry Project—an intentional deepwater oil spill experiment in 2000—suggests that BP and the Coast Guard should have been more prepared to deal with the “unique challenges” of a deepwater spill. The funding of the study indicates that oil companies and the US government were thinking about the problem of deepwater spills over a decade ago. Why then have the Coast Guard, BP and Transocean seemed so unprepared in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon?
Well springs third leak; officials raise spill estimate
~The new leak is near the wellhead 5,000 feet down, and like the other two, is in a now-tangled pipe called a riser that connected the well to the rig on the surface.

Excellent question. Too, where's Obombsalot who also pushed for more coastal drilling?
Obambsalot has declared a National Incident. Whole new ball game of law now.
Obama allowed coastal drilling, as a cookie to both Dems and Reps, he did not push for it.
Mary Landrieu pushed for it. David Vitter pushed for it. And now that Tar Baby is coming home to roost.
Hehe, we gonna split hairs here? Dude's a straight up corporate, MIC stooge. And that's the nicest thing I can say about him.
Re roosting, true that. Ads for Hazmat certified workers and laborers for the cleanup posted on B'ham Craigslist. Much overtime promised.
Ha! Surely we both can think of worse things to split when you'talking politics.
Take Larry Craig for example, big Big Energy Legislator, but I bet he'd let'ya split or Bill Clinton "That depends on defining which split is split you'be talkin'bout?"
And...what you mean "we", Kimosabe?
Meanwhile, we are running out of fresh seafood in Louisiana as we speak. We are talking, over half the nation's shrimp.
We are talking a quarter of the nation's overall seafood consumption.
To wrap this in the guise of Tea Party harty'har turns my stomach.
I honestly wonder WHERE THE FUCK ARE THESE CRAZY AMERICAN SO-CALLED PATRIOTS????
WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE MINIONS OF THE COMING PALINATE?
That sound you hear is the quiet drip of their brain on the surface of this oil slick.
They are No Where to be Found because They Don't Give a Shit.
At least the President is doing something after the Tea Party Big Business Lassie Fair has screwed our pooch.
this is an utter clusterfuck of untold dimensions. that is all.
I don't doubt that Barry will respond more competently than the last moron-in-chief did to Katrina, but that's a fairly low bar eh? meanwhile in foreign policy he's just a slightly more articulate shrub continuing (and escalating in the Afghan case) the same criminal/murderous policies and making sure noone's held accountable the many despicable crimes of the dick/shrub administration.
