1. Uh, yes. Coincidence. There are hundreds of oil spills every

year in this country.

2. So why is...

everyone so excited about the gulf?

[Taitertots]

4. It is several orders of magnitude larger than this

There is no easy way to stop it.

5. Easier to contain a land spill, especially in an urban area. Did the ocean stop flowing

so we could contain BP's horror?

Nope, most assuredly didn't. That dreck is going to go worldwide and far faster than you want to think about.

6. because of the magnitude of the gulf disaster

[MineralMan]

8. Size matters. It really does.

[Bluebear]

3. No, the gulf spill obviously caused it.

:silly:

7. no

Do not be lulled or deceived. There is an escalating frenzy to seek out and extract more oil and gas by whatever means, and regulation and oversight has collapsed. Those trying to make a massive killing on Wall Street - and that is the whole point of Wall Street - are more and more desperate for ROI as the resources run out and as workers have been squeezed as much as they can be. This is pressuring corporations to take more and more risks, cut more and more corners, break more and more rules. That, combined with the total corruption of the public infrastructure by corporate money and influence, is creating an extremely dangerous situation and it is getting worse every day. All of us are in great and immediate danger.
