Yep me too, I've already seen this type of evidence and decided to avoid it because the PCs and the AMJs will never openly admit, regardless of proof, that WAY more oil "seeps" into the oceans naturally than we have ever spilled or dumped. If these numbers are even close to correct then we have a long way to go. I'm am not saying that the oil spill is "okay" by any means, btw. I actually agree that having a back up plan in place BEFORE an accident happens is definitely the way to go. I just hope that this doesn't forestall our efforts to drill for oil off the coast of NC. I know that a lot of environmentalists are pointing at this and screaming, "see? I told you!!!" While completely ignoring the rather good track record of this type of drilling as a whole. People constantly bring up the Exxon Valdez but forget how many tankers come and go everyday....

Sorry, those are the rules. Your argument, btw, is complete crap. I don't give a fuck how much oil seeps up from the ground, because that oil doesn't have a fraction of the immediate impact that a major spill does, and there isn't anything you can do about it anyway. JC

You can stand in the rain and have 100 gallons of water fall on you over the course of a day. Get submerged in that water, all at once, and it's a bit of a different outcome.

I like how their first attempt was to capture the oil and pump it to the surface. Would it stop the leak? Yes. It also would allow them to pump the line and not lose any of the production. It failed. Who would have thought that it would be freezing at almost a mile down.
They're now going to drill a secondary line and do a junk plug. That's where they take all sorts of random material and push it down the line with heavy mud. Random, as in, golf balls, shredded tires, rope, etc. It's back to a few months for expected plug... yay.
