[Biofuel] Scum of the earth

2010-05-27 Thread Keith Addison
BP is a mad dog. Planet Earth hasn't got cancer as some people say. 
It's got rabies. It sure takes some doing to out-dog such stalwart 
corporate persons as ExxonMobil, Dow/Union Carbide, Monsanto, Bayer, 
ADM/Cargill/Tysons et al, but about the only thing I can think of 
that could dislodge BP from its Top Mad Dog position is if someone 
presses The Button.

How Much Oil Is Really Spilling into the Gulf of Mexico?

Is the Gulf oil spill spinning out of control?

What if the oil spill just can't be fixed?
... Even if the flow were stopped tomorrow, the damage to marshes, 
coral, and marine life is done. The Gulf of Mexico will become an 
ecological and economic dead zone. There's no real way to undo it, no 
matter who's in charge.

hi, keith.  thanks for the links.  no time to check them out in depth
right now.  i heard a little a really horrifying little factoid
yesterday, which is that apparently the ocean floor in that region is.
. .highly porous, for lack for a better word.  so concievably many of
the contaminants in the oil and dispersants, even if the oil
slick/toxic subsurface cloud never reaches the shores of florida, the
everglades could still be seriously poisoned.

It all makes me sick at my stomach. And frankly after that leak on the North 
Slope, the refinery explosion, and now this I think DOJ should send folks to 
prison.

But what do I know I'm just a lowly voter in this republic.

Being an observer from Afar, but still part of the Global community
( Western Australia in the bush)

Maybe out of this disaster reality might take hold Keith
and people will wake up to the damage Big Oil companies
and oil itself is doing to our world and big change will come out of it
in the form of SERIOUS alternatives to Oil based fuel energy sources.

Focus more on the environmental devastation  Degradation caused by 
huge oil spills
and damage it has done. then about the greed of corporate industry for
profits over habitat ,do a Edward De Bono and think Laterally out of 
this with proper Direction
by those that give a damn more money should go towards proper research on
the alternative energies we need rather than spending Trillions on 
new warfair that is based
over oil anyway

[Biofuel] Fwd: Scum of the earth

2010-05-27 Thread Gavin Kalan
thanks for all the links. i lived some time in the niger delta, where  
shell flares enough gas to provide a quarter of what the UK uses,  
because it's cheaper than reinjecting, building a pipeline, or  
utilizing it locally. and that's on purpose. the equivalent of 1 exxon- 
valdez tanker of oil has spilled in the mangrove creeks every year,  
for 50 years. the revolving door corporate selfregulation we see with  
BP is a problem in nigeria and finland as well, so i appreciate  
articles like these to pass on.

people still denying the urgency of renewable energy and sustainable  
living also own responsibility for these predictable and totally  
avoidable disasters

best,
/g.
