Tests warned of cement problems before well's blowout The evidence does seem to indicate gross negligence, but I'm sure they have some very expensive lawyers who will try to argue otherwise.

Goldman Sachs knew Gulf oil leak in advance and made money on it.

Has anybody else seen the new BP TV ad with the good ol' boy who's "from around here" talking about how he's goin' to work real hard to clean up this here mess? Nobody cares more about this here Gulf Coast than he does! Hello, BP? Talking crap in a southern accent doesn't make you any more...

Just saw a blurb that BP just announced the cap has been secured and no more oil is now leaking! :) But some guy just called in on MSNBC and claims there's another even bigger leak from some unrelated hole a couple miles away.......wasn't there an unsubstantiated rumor about that awhile ago...

I'm sure other members can come up with a link regarding this as I've heard it on the news already. What I'm wondering is, is this really such a good idea. Exxon is already a huge company, and such a merger strikes me as ultimately creating a "too big to fail" scenario, except with an oil...

Anyone hear about this, know anything, is it possible, likely, unlikely etc? I'm hearing rumblings and just wondering.

At first glance, this article seems to be ill-informed. But, I figured someone who know more about the oil disaster details could offer more specific comments: http://www.rense.com/general91/oilor.htm I realize this is probably implausible, but I would like some specifics as to why. The...

'...One of the elements that contributed to the phased approach "was the realisation that if Iran were actually to launch a missile attack on Europe, it wouldn't be just one or two missiles or a handful," Gates told the hearing. Iran says its nuclear programme is aimed solely at peaceful energy...

In the wake of the British Petroleum problem in the Gulf of Mexico, BP's share values have plummeted. Putting 20 billion dollars into escrow probably won't help their future share value. Because of this, certain large shareholders, such as some pension funds, have announced the intention to...

Good news. BP is not going to pay dividends this year. (Or ever, if justice prevails.) That leaves more for the government to sieze when justice is done to the oil toads. Obama seems to have twisted the right arms. More than his predecessor would have done. He has the escrow fund he...

The overall American response to the mega-disaster that is unfolding and becoming worse, minute, by minute, hour by hour and day by day is noteworthy for how nonchalant we all are. One is reminded that according to Pliny as well as the archeaological record, that the people of Pompeii did not...

This reported by ABC: I have a question though: Is this an apples-to-apples comparison? These are safety violations at refineries, not drilling rigs. Did these other companies with fewer violations operate a comparable number of refineries?

http://globalwarming.house.gov/spillcam They are busy right now. Two robots either side of the pipe using cutting wheels. Lets hope they get it right. ETA. They have lowered what looks like some giant "crimping tool".

Every news report I have seen seems to be blaming BP for the oil spill. What evidence is there that they caused the leak as opposed to TransOcean, Halliburton, or some other yet named group? I'm willing to accept that it there is negligence involved, I just want to know who is responsible and...

The thread title is based on a sign someone was holding in the clicky picture on Yahoo. I'm not posting it for obvious reasons (rhymes with Mule Whore). Anyway, on with the OP: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/ynews_pl2270 Public opinion is turning on Obama, OF COURSE divided along party lines...

Some sort of cover-up of the damage? Threatening reporters with arrest? Are they trying to make it worse for themselves? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb4JWgUuSEE&playnext_from=TL&videos=kEHJtBFZ97A

Like the Oil Disaster in the Gulf itself, the conspiracies surrounding it are really beginning to spill. In fact, they are beginning to flat out loose their feces. Some websites have posts suggesting this is an extinction event in the same class as the Permian mass extinction event. (Handle...

I've read that the cost of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is going to run into the tens or possibly hundreds of billions in economic damage. This raises the following questions: Is BP really going to pay for it all? Do they have the money to pay for it all? Does that include making whole...

All right, I guess this great big oil gush is ripe, but even so...this is a tad...

Hopefully leaving politics out of the equation, is there any solution to stopping the well, regardless of cost? For instance, can they use explosives or debris to plug the gusher? Let's say that the fortunes of BP or President Obama or the fuel consuming public were not at issue, what...

Uncle Rush is at the Oxycontin again and letting us all know his opinion on the recent debacle over the oil spill. Source So I suppose the thinking of ole' Rush on this one goes something like this. Environmentalists want to help the environment by preventing oil drilling and nuclear power...

Article Yikes! That video looks bad. I'm surprised that comparatively few were injured.
