the southern Gulf states will be destroyed to the point of no recovery and the US will be forever changed. Sorry, I'm not as optimistic that our collective narcissistic 'give-a-fuck' attitudes are going to return so soon. |

When I looked at a current map last week the oil should spread all the way up the east coast of America then cross over to Europe and down the west of France and Spain. Obviously the further it goes the less mess it will make as it gets diluted by the water but it's still going to make a mess quite some distance from the actual source.

It was mentioned that Super-tankers can work to clean the water and reclaim something like 85% of the oil. While it won't stop the flow going on, it would help to perhaps contain the spread until they can cap it.
BP is not doing this because of the cost involved. What I don't understand is why they are not FORCED to do this. |

Super tankers and above are extremely busy. Those ships are booked years ahead and most have cargo already loaded going somewhere. Plus the sheer fact that they have a quite low top speed, so it would take most super tankers and the sizes above it some respectable time to even show up at the scene.
I know for a fact that someone is out there asking around if there are any contracts available for super tankers. No one knows or can confirm that BP is behind this, but it would at least be a reasonable suspicion. |

It's not just FL's beaches that are next on the chopping block but the entire east cost of the US and who knows where else. The shallow reef areas of the Keys and Bahamas are going to be massively fucked as well. It will all eventually come back in time, but we are all fucked for the time being. |

the only way to take car of that leaking - is to nuke it...
this is how the Russians are taking care of those things in the backyard... and they already offered their services to BP. Since it's underwater detonation it may probably cause less damage than just siting and waiting for something to happen while the oil is leaking out daily... |

Nuking it would potentially widen the hole, create new holes, irradiate everything under water, and then when the next hurricane blows in, will disperse radioactive globs of oil all over everything and everyone. |
There's A LOT of money to be made in government/FEMA contracts for cleanup is all I can say.. Had one contractor bragging to me about how much he was going to make.. Of course that doesn't help the private industries being affected..

There was news of new oil pipelines being built, and now there is news of the oil leak.
Amazing - maybe more efforts need to be put into preventing spills. Keep in mind that the BP oil spill actually happened in 2 completely different places - Gulf of Mexico and Alaska. That's not just 1 place. |
