The following comments relate to this news article:
article published on 3 June, 2010
Unless you have been on the island featured in "Lost" for the last month you have undoubtedly heard or read of the tragic oil spill caused by BP in the Gulf of Mexico.
Director James Cameron, the man behind the biggest grossing movies of all-time, Avatar and Titanic, is also an avid deep-sea explorer, and recently offered his help to BP in efforts to combat the spill which is leaking, ... [ read the full article ]

i know why all there attempts have failed because every on they've tried requires the oil flow to stop completely you cant do this you need to make a cap with 2 small holes big enough for a hose have the hose, above water level the send in a team of divers to connect the other end of the hose to the open cap easy as pie.
Amen, The squids could fix this faster than Obama can find someone to be angry at.

surely you don't advocate using nuclear bomb 90 miles off the coast and mouth of the Mississippi? Half-life of the by products will stain the whole eco system in the Gulf. And as we have no pristine beaches, there are 500 miles of them east and down to Miami which would get the poison. How 'bout one off the mouth of the Thames? I think not.

I sure hope you don't drive a car. Stopping all offshore production would double or triple the price of gasoline in the US and elsewhere. Louisiana produces roughly 30% of US oil and Natural gas. Texas is more. And unless coal, nuclear, and hydro-power can produce all the electricity for the country, you won't be posting here and me neither. Not to mention the 40,000 jobs LA would lose in petro industry. That's why the 500ft deep inshore ban has already been lifted. Just pray we don't get a huge grazing hurricane strafing south of us and heading into Corpus Christi.

Bad Pathetic Oil Co will be gone after this mess is over. And BP's CEO has about as much tact as an oil drenched pelican-and it's life expectancy.

there should have been measures in place, if they cant do it themselves then automate it.

The MMS or whatever is supposed to be monitoring the wells and BOPs. Another failed government entity that can't do it's job because of corruption. BP and Halliburton with the Horizon drillers and owners cut corners and it will all come out.

I haven't looked into how close the 2 or 3 leaks are from land, i was just reading the other day that this kind of thing isn't too out of the ordinary in Russia as they've dealt with 5 or so leaks previously with mini nukes.

Yeah we understand down here. My first thought was using one of those bunker busting bombs to snuff the hole out like they used in Afghan. There have been many countries offering to help but our Commissar is too proud to ask for it and too busy trying to cover his arse in everything political. The leaks are close to the mouth of the Miss river. And the second possible leak is only 60 miles and has been leaking for months and maybe years. They have been trying to stop leak for a while but the news about this well has just come to light. BP will be lucky to emerge from this mess. We have no BP gas stations here so they wouldn't be hurt by any boycott here which was sure to happen and is in several other states. LA, TX and OK should just take a summer hiatus and stop all production and refining and show the world how much power we can wield. US would have to make up shortage on the world market and everyone would suffer with staggering prices. US would not have enough gasoline to operate. Oh the lines. LOL
BUT as bad as it looks on TV, the fish are still being caught and seafood is being harvested in unclosed fisheries. I still have no idea where those fish have been swimming tho. Are they fit to eat? I'll pass.

Am just listening to the radio, it would appear that BP and the US government have been telling us a few porkies...
Apparently, BP have made an ever so slightly catastrophic mistake, if this is true they had been drilling 25,000 to 30,000 feet, in addition to the 5,000 feet of water, and had drilled into some kind of super deep well, containing something called abiotic oil, and the reason for the (so far) unstoppable leaks is due to the wellhead pressure being (and i quote) between 20,000 and 70,000 PSI, which is (again, i quote) uncontrollable due to no technology existing to deal with such extreme pressures. So there's millions of gallons a day being blasted out and up from at least 3 fissures under the sea. There's apparently only one possible solution, to use a nuke of some sort, but they are terrified of trying this as they don't know the implications of nuking one of these super wells ie if the nuke fails to plug the leaks would it blow the whole underwater chasm open, for good. Apparently the Russians have previously drilled into one or more of these deep super wells, but only on land, it's never been attemped at sea before, and from what i gather, the reason the Deepwater rig and it's safety devices were destroyed was due to the extreme pressure of the oil escaping from the super well.
I've never heard of abiotic oil but my very small amount of googling shows that apparently these super wells are what replenishes the normal oil wells, hence why the oil fields never actually run out of oil despite us always being told porkies that the oil wells are almost empty. Rather disturbing is that i saw the words 'Gulf stream' mentioned, there's speculation that the oil leaks are so vast, and could possibly take years to plug (if at all), that the gulf stream could be affected, and the Gulf stream obviously has a lot to do with the temperature, certainly here in Europe anyways.
More reading is needed, but so far it would appear that this is a mistake, albeit catastrophic, by BP as opposed to a deliberate destruction of the rig, and the reason for the huge share selloff's prior to the explosion could just be good old cashing in before a potential accident happens, except the accident could be ever so slightly more serious than anyone knows how to deal with.
There's apparently more to it (worse than the above), but am still listening to the radio show..
edit-
It's being discussed just before the 3rd hour of yesterday's Alex Jones show here ~ http://rss.infowars.com/20100610_Thu_Alex.mp3 (from exactly 3hours onwards).
(Anyone blinkered enough to shout conspiracy theorist/theories - i'm not interested in petty opinions, just listen or don't), though this one i highly recommend listening to.
edit-
Well it's Corexit 9500 or the chemicals from the undersea fissures (mentioned later on in the radio show) ~

I have heard of the endless replaceable oil reservoirs before only as theory and believed them nevertheless. I didn't know it had a specific name now. Since the first contrived oil shortages of the early 70s until present day, the oil seems to never be actually in short supply. The only time it is, is when it's throttled at the wellhead with a wrench by opec or weather. The rich sheiks have to have a certain per barrel price to keep their life styles safe and their imprisoned citizenry under control, semi-happy, and totally uneducated. We can all go down the lists and name these countries; and newer ones come online each year. The "spice must flow" syndrome.
I don't believe in any conspiracy (that could change). Our drilling technology has outstripped the production capability to handle great pressures at depth.
You are correct about the Gulf Stream. It's what gives you Brits your warmer climate than should be at your latitude. It's also going to be a conveyor belt that brings US Atlantic seaboard and the rest of the world a taste of New Orleans-just not the gastronomic one. A shame! We have a beautiful state to our eyes (we have ugly sand beaches because of the Mississippi drainage, but one can stand on them and catch speckled trout, red fish, etc, until ones arm is sore, and we look at life a lot different than most folks. We lead simple lives but we are not simpletons. We just want our lifestyles back, and soon.

Let's not even mention that this may have been averted if the 'back to horse and buggy' crowd had allowed nuclear power plant construction for the last 20 some years. By restricting the near shore undersea drilling and forcing the drilling rigs to greater depths, the very groups that wanted to avoid what has happened may have hastened it.
And the thought of criticism from the likes of Director James Cameron... Has a ground breaking 3D movie and the only thing that he can use for a story line is the socially crippled childlike 'Science Fiction' that was abandoned in the 1930's.
Any race that can travel between stars could mine all the minerals that it needs from asteroid belts without plunging into a gravity well for them. Instead he chose to subject us all to his liberal guilt laden tale. With thinking as uncritical and prejudiced as his we will never have to worry about travel to distant stars... as we will never develop any higher technology if all we have is solar and wind power. You can't even fly around the world much less enter orbit with those two.
Perhaps James should start planning the story line for the next United States.... the only question is whether or not he should write it in Chinese... if we continue to borrow money from them the will never have to fire a shot to take over.

oh yes they will trust me when i say that. the govt might bend over and say here have California for your settlement, but i can bet your ass the American people wont.
if you tally all the militias in the united states you would find that the shear number of people belonging to such groups would make the Chinese army with over 100 million strong look like a small scale platoon than an actual army. the US Government fears the people as it should.

This is all crap. BP and the States affected have been forced not to do the things that would work and prevent the damage by the marxists running the USSA. There have been several things BP wanted to do, but The Chosen One's administration has forbidden it. They see this as a great opportunity to further destroy their enemy's economy, the people they're ruling. Notice no more drilling or extracting of any oil by amerikan companies, and the renewed push towards the cap and tax laws and further destruction of the energy sector.
No, I'm not saying that the government created the spill or blew up the oil rig (however, I am saying that is within the character of this thugocracy). I am saying though that the situation is intentionally being extended and exacerbated by this administration for the way it increases their power and fits into their long term revolutionary goals.
P.S. I'll expect a knock on my door from DHS or the FBI shortly after posting this.

James Cameron makes those morons at BP look like genius(s). Young Democratics make James Cameron look like Einstein. They are calling a boycott on BP! What a joke, if that will put the fear of god into them when losing tens of billions won't. Nothing a billion more miles of red tape can't bury!
This is what happens when you have well intentioned morons making regulations. Too bad the regulations didn't fix anything they only made things 100 times worse. I am sure the pecker woods are dreaming up a ton more regulations.
Maybe if Obama wasn't so busy blaming BP for their incompetance the US might have gotten the oil containment & clean up equipment out there a month earlier.

It sounds like to me that this (delay in plugging the leaks), if not due to sheer inability to stem the leaks, is all about Obama playing the leaks (like a trump card) to bring in his carbon taxes. Nationalise the oil industry too ?, don't know. I can't see what else it could be. I'm collating more info on the subject that will probably take this article a little further away from the article's title ie i'm more interested in the overall leaks, not just the tiny James Cameron aspect, so any developments i find will be posted here onwards - that link details that the EPA have indeed monitored one of the toxic gases to be near to the levels described by Lindsay Williams in the radio show i linked to in my previous post.

There were early rumors that the well was blown intentionally-pick your culprit. Now, as Creaky points out , the delays are to promote the Cap Tax he wants to imposed. But any further delays are just ruining his popularity -as if he had much left before. It will be a miracle if Cap and Tax passes. This is election year and politicos don't want any new taxes. That too late. They will be be replaced in Nov hopefully. I really don't think taht anyone could do any better about collecting oil in the water; it's just coming out so fast. I heard last night that it has probably entered the Loop current and will be in Fla soon. That may be the reason Obamarama may have given BP until today to come up with something new. I don't think BP has any other solutions. We haven't heard of any. And now the very beaches we spend at week at each year are contaminated and closed for swimming. This problem is not going to go away soon.

It wouldn't have been done by the US Gov that would be silly.
Something has either been put together wrong or has gone boom for what ever reason, the rigs would be processing oil as well so it's easier to deal with, the flame they have is there to burn excess fumes from processing and that flame has to be a good 50 meters in size seeing as you can be 1 klm away and you'll still see a large flame.
The Australia Gov tried the same thing it got shot down why because you have a bunch of people paying for other countries Co2 emissions for the sake of a couple of greenies who are trying to keep the planet at the same whether pattern of 20 years ago, it won't work because the planet is forever changing, it's not going to suddenly die off etc and that's been proven by the length of time it's been here for 3 hundred trillion years or more.
The Australian tax worked on keeping a % of what you claimed back on so if you normally got a $1000 back then the gov might keep 10% of that which might not sound much writen like that, but the % could be any amount, so 1 year you could pay 10% the next if china pumped out more Co2 then you could be paying 40%, all to say your saving on cutting down Co2 gas.
Which you can't as you don't own nor run a factory that makes the stuff anyway so it's simply all going to the gov as revenue.
As for BP they'll probably do what I said at the start of the comments in a couple weeks.

Normally I would agree with you but this government's favorite slogan is "never let a good disaster go to waste." Anything to get populace against big oil for Cap and Trade passage. No I don't believe that happened but strange things do occur.
And I am still waiting for the expert, James Cameroon, to offer his solution. Not much help so far, just oiled red herrings all around.

ddp I hate fish. But love all seafood. Strange for where I live. After I typed that, I saw where all the herring fishing has been stopped in Valdez, Alaska ever since their spill.
I also heard today that BP is just playing right now and knew that anything they tried would NOT work. They are waiting for the well head pressure to drop but it has showed no signs of doing so. We're basically buttered toast down here. Heatwave to boot. We've been under heat advisory for at least 5 straight days. 95+ and humidity.
