BP Lays Out Latest Oil-Recovery SchemePosted on Jun 14, 2010
So, British Petroleum rolled out a new and ambitious oil-recovery plan on Monday, claiming it will increase its capturing capacity to at least 40,000 barrels a day by month’s end. This is just too little, too late for all those oiled-up pelicans, however. —KA

The DOCTRINE OF PERPETUAL GROWTH of the human population and the global consumer economy on Planet Over-Birth Earth, a fragile HOST ORGANISM of finite space and finite resources, can no longer be sustained. Indeed! The planet has far exceeded it’s ability to host the current civilization. Any further growth would be a one way ticket to Armageddon and/or extinction.
In fact… the calamity in the Gulf of Mexico suggests that WE ARE ON THE TITANIC… AS IT $INKS OFF THE COAST OF EASTER ISLAND.

Bush, post 9/11: “Don’t worry, go shopping.”
Obama today: “Don’t worry, come to the beach.”
Will the same people who slammed Bush slam Obama? I think not.

80,000 bpd? Sweet! Since there’s only 5,000 bpd leaking into the gulf (according to BP itself), sounds like everything’s kosher.
Welp, off to the beach then. Gonna enjoy the rest of the summer in bliss(ful ignorance).

The whole process need to be militarized with B.P.‘s assets used as a checkbook. Hire people, pay OT, task Lockeed, Boeing, General Dynamics on B.P’s dime.

G.Anderson—
please explain your comment:
“And if the explosion at the rig was caused by methane hydrates, then this world has something much more serious to consider, than cleaning up an oil spill.”
And what makes you suggest the sea bed may have ruptured?
thanks

Sooner or later, probably later, people will start to understand that there may not be any solutions to this oil disaster, especially if the sea bed has ruptured.
Slowly, but surely the oil is inexorably on it’s way way up the East Coast into the Atlantic Ocean, then on to the rest of the world. Contaminating the deep ocean, and the fish that live there.
And if the explosion at the rig was caused by methane hydrates, then this world has something much more serious to consider, than cleaning up an oil spill.
