Breaking: The Atlantic may be completely fucked

238

A dire report circulating in the Kremlin today that was prepared for Prime Minister Putin by Anatoly Sagalevich of Russia's Shirshov Institute of Oceanology warns that the Gulf of Mexico sea floor has been fractured “beyond all repair” and our World should begin preparing for an ecological disaster “beyond comprehension” ... As a prominent oil-industry insider, and one of the World's leading experts on peak oil, Simmons further warns that the US has only two options, “let the well run dry (taking 30 years, and probably ruining the Atlantic ocean) or nuking the well.”

...i really do hope that report is wrong. seemed unlikely, but still terrified my wife and i last night.... beginning of the end; gates of hell opened up - unleashing the full wrath and fury upon us, in the form of an "irreparably fractured seafloor" spewing crude and methane at 100K psi for thirty years, unless we "nuke" it??? holy shit

Hey - I'm super upset. I've been reading and reading and reading and working on a fundraiser for the efforts, cleaning beaches, joining handts, etc...what else can we do?
So I'm not sure if anyone here reads Allan Weisbecker's Down South Perspective, but he believes it to be intentional.
I am not sure what I think about his thoughts, as a matter of fact...his perspectives just get my wheels turning in order to form my own opinions...anyway here is an excerpt from his recent rant:

A few nights ago I attended a beach-meeting of the folks who helped set up the hand holding event, plus others concerned about the BPC.

People talked for an hour or so about the BPC and related matters. I listened. No one brought up the possibility that the BPC might not have been accidental. So I did. Asked if anyone had heard of any evidence that it was not an accident. I think three people out of 30 or so raised their hands.

I commented that if the BPC were not accidental, it would 'change everything' about how we should react to it. True, right?

Okay, but what evidence is there? How about Tony Hayward, the BP CEO, selling nearly two million shares of his own company's stock in the week before the catastrophe, and thereby saving himself millions when BP stock plummeted? (Google 'BP CEO + sold stock')

And good old Goldman Sachs, the archetypical 'insider' company selling nearly 5 million shares just before the spill? (The head of Goldman Sachs formerly co-chaired BP.)

Cheney's Haliburton's was the company that improperly sealed the well immediately before the explosion, right? Guess what else they did? Eleven days earlier, they bought the company that would be hired to clean up the mess.

But the main evidence is the testimony of the men who survived the original platform explosion; how time after time they warned BP (and Haliburton) that the rig was 'going to blow' yet were ordered to do things that would only exacerbate the danger; the best example of this is their using salt water to seal the unstable cap instead of the usual heavy-weight sealing fluid. 'You never would do that (unless you wanted a catastrophe)' is a quote from a drilling expert not connected to BP or Halliburton.

I think this must be bogus!!
It reads too much like a hollywood script.
I can just see John Travolta as the intrepid and immensely gifted Dr. Anatoly Sagalevich free diving down to 5,000ft to personally cap that baby with his pocket sized micro-nuke stuffed down the front of his boardies. While being foiled at every turn by machiavellian BP bureaucrats, the Obama administration and feeble minded (but oh so cute) greenies!!
