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.

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...

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...

The crude oil spilling into the Gulf is definitely bad for marine life and fishermen but is that the extent of the harm, as the media would have you believe? Are deadly toxic gases that are naturally formed in oil reservoirs a major problem for human beings living on the Gulf? Benzene levels...

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...

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...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ynews/20100513/ts_ynews/ynews_ts2052 The Soviets did it 5 times before. Just detonate a 10 killiton nuclear weapon at the leak..and watch it get buried in 100 million cubic yards of rock. that should stop the leak. why won't they use this method?

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/29/us/29spill.html?hp "BP engineers struggled Friday to plug a gushing oil well a mile under the sea, but as of late in the day they had made little headway in stemming the flow. Will the BP disaster shape popular views of the president’s competency...

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...

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.
