Oil spill - the end of fresh Florida seafood?

Hmm, interesting.... I find that statement made there, "Satellite images unavailable many days due to cloud cover. May 24 image is most recent to show spill." kind of odd, though. I was sitting right on the edge of the Gulf of Mexico all last weekend and except for Thursday night and early Friday morning, the Gulf had clear weather as far as the eye could see. Heck for that matter, the satellite image of the area using Intellicast is pretty darn clear for the area. :crazy03:

The first video sounds like a lot of hype, by a paranoia promoting reporter looking for publicity. Really sounds like he needs more tinfoil.

The second one is pretty bad:(

Really need more details on the last one.

I'd really like to see this for myself.
 
Yeah, if I can get my car wrapped up, I wouldn't mind riding out there to see Louisiana myself. Going to be a tussle if anyone tries to grab my camcorder, though...
 
Found some more stuff.....

The chief executive of BP sold £1.4 million of his shares in the fuel giant weeks before the Gulf of Mexico oil spill caused its value to collapse.

Goldman Sachs sold $250 million of BP stock before spill

BP buys Google, Yahoo search words:Is it to keep people from real news on Gulf oil spill disaster?
http://www.examiner.com/x-33986-Political-Spin-Examiner~y2010m6d6-BP-buys-Google-Yahoo-search-engine-words-to-keep-people-away-from-real-news-on-Gulf-oil-spill-disas
 
Just think if half of post #84 is true (and it probibly is).I don't doubt but it's far worse than has been reported .I don't doubt but what there is some really .really serious health issues pending . This will be the end of BP and Obama .
 
One of those videos quoted a number for the number of oil wells in the Gulf (or was it the entire USA?). Something like 7,000, I believe.

Well tell me, if even half of those wells can produce the quantity of oil that is coming out of this blown out one off of Louisiana, how is there a shortage of oil? Why have there been panics whereby the supply was said to be low, thereby raising the prices?

I think it's pretty obvious from this that ALL of the oil companies have been playing "supply and demand" games to purposely withhold production so that they could raise prices and make more money per barrel of oil that they get out of the ground. :toetap05:
 
Washington D.C. no longer has the best interests of this country and the people who live within it as their focus. Heck, we aren't even a side interest any longer. They are all just wolves guarding the hen house and now being brazen about this fact. I would say that they ALL need to get their asses thrown out of Congress, but I'm betting that all we'll get then are newer foxes voted in to take their places. We no longer have any say in how this country is run......

Watch them use this oil spill catastrophe as an excuse to take away more of our rights, and stick their hands deeper into our wallets at the same time.
 
Here's another interesting video that introduces an intriguing perspective...



Curiously, there is some history to support this hypothesis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidoarjo_mud_flow

I would have to say here that volcanos under the sea are really nothing new to the Earth, so I'm not really sure why this one would be any different and why some people would think that if it IS actually a volcano, that this is some sort of doomsday event taking place. :notallthe
 
Here's a pic of that mud volcano mentioned above...

Hmm, well that is interesting. If in fact that oil plume IS on fire a mile underneath the water, how did that happen? Was it ignited from the top and worked it's way down, or is it in flames beneath the ground? If the latter, then there is no way they can cap it off, because then PRESSURE would build up. Also, how are they going to draw off the oil to tankers if it is in flames? Suppose the entire oil reservoir underneath the ground is in flames right now?

I think there is a WHOLE lot of information that is being withheld about this situation. And none of it is likely good news.
 
Just as well face facts. It could be months or years before the spill is stopped, and we could end up with a billion gallons + leaked into the gulf before it's stopped.

The grouper and snapper fishing will be ruined for life if this oil keeps coming out of the hole at the rate it is. I know of test heads in the east gulf that were drilled many years in the past as i have fished them and sent divers down to see what could hold so many jacks and snapper as it shows much of nothing on my bottom machine.

I had a talk with someone many years ago about these test heads that are in 40ft to 250ft of water and only 20 to 90 miles offshore from the west coast of FL, and he said there is plenty of oil just offshore from the westcoast of FL and even on shore. I can bet i have oil under my house.

I always said use the other mans oil and save ours unitl we are cut off from the rest of the worlds oil.
