Yeah..I had the " oil is finite " debate when I was in H.S.
Back in 1981.
( I was the one saying it was finite, btw.... )
I am big enough now to admit that I was wrong.
Are you ?

Good lord, are you saying now it's NOT finite? That's phenomenal, even for YOU! Where do you think it's gonna come from, then?
That's it. The man has lost all touch with reality. Pathetic.

Where did oil come from in the first place?
That process hasn't stopped. Probably won't until the planet gets engulfed by our sun.

Yeah, and deregulation was loosened up so much when Clinton was in office that afterwards we had this huge, gigantic gusher from all those wells in the Gulf that weren't kept up to snuff...oh, wait, no, that was after BUSH left office. Ooops, my bad.
You didn't even bother w/ the link, did you? Clinton's action essentially made it more profitable for big oil to drill in deep water, where there's less wiggle room for error and a hell of a lot less known about - ANYTHING, when it comes to how oil impacts the environment, the gear needed to do the job. We already have tested and proven methods for drilling in shallow water. If this exact same thing happened in shallow water, we'd have it capped in a week.

If you really think energy other than coal and gas is a pipe dream, you're gonna have an awfully hard time in the coming years. Anyone tell you OIL IS FINITE?? Probably not...
Oil, gas and coal will be around for long after I'm gone. There simply isn't any known way, save for nuclear, to get the yield of energy return than w/ those substances. Not wind, not hydrogen, not solar. We CAN use other means, but there won't be anywhere near the power from them.
And that's a fact.

Really?

If I have, it's Obama's fault.

So, when I started this thread ( over 2 weeks ago ) and stated quite clearly that it IS worse than we know, and then we find out just how exactly I was right ( again ) , this is your childish attempt at a reply?
Again, you're nothing but a sad simpleton, posting contrarian nonsense, simply to be a troll.
No, you said it was worse than "WE" know, which is bullshit. It's worse than YOU knew; the rest of us already knew how bad it was. Hell, we knew it before it happened. That's kinda why we were against your whole "Drill, baby, drill!" bullshit chant and campaign slogan in the first place. You're stupid enough to not be able to see what's right in front of you until it smacks you right in your idiot face, but the rest of us aren't really all that surprised that this happened. After all, if you play Russian Roulette long enough, you WILL get shot. Funny how you never have figured that one out.
Hell, at this point you're playing Russian Roulette with a semi-auto, if you know what I mean.

On this matter, make no mistake. I want you to go fuck yourself long and hard, as well as anyone who agrees with you. I got no use for you. --Auraptor

even if you THINK you know me, and my views on the environment, this should be one thing which we all agree.
- The focus should be, no MUST be, to
Stop the flow of oil - NOW
Keep the oil that's in the water from reaching more of the shore, and clean up what we can, as fast as we can.
THAT should be the primary goals for the Gov't, for BP, first and foremost.
I'm fucking sick and tired of threats of litigation, boots on the necks of BP, Jones Act waivers, Haliburton concrete, Bush, Obama.....
All those arguments can and will be had, in due time. But what we need from the LEADERS is action.
Not talk
Action.
NOW
Again, because you never answered before, what ACTION would you have the President take? Do you want him to part the waters himself, go to the bottom of the ocean, and use his godlike powers to cap the well by his own hand?
What action is there that you think the big scary government has up its sleeve that it can take, that nobody else has thought of?
You say you hate big government intervention - why do you DEMAND such intervention in this case?
You're making no sense. This is not a new occurrence for you.

kwickie -
Thanks for showing everyone how petty and small minded a fool you truly are.
I'm talking major ecological disaster here, and you're whining about campaign slogans from 2 years ago.
Trust in your messiah. Obama will talk his way out of this one.
He's got a Nobel prize, after all.
Of course, he'll first have to play a few more rounds of golf, go on another vacation w/ the girls, fly somewhere to raise more $$ for a lame duck candidate, and listen to a few more Grammy winning artists put on a few more concerts at the White House before he can be bothered again w/ the Gulf oil crisis.
But rest assured.....he's got this.

You think maybe he can borrow your "Mission Accomplished!" banner from the George Dubya Bush "Libary"?
Oh, and thanks for confirming how tiny and petty you are, by trying to use an ecological disaster to score cheap political points and pretend that this kind of disaster isn't at all what you had in mind with your short-sighted, lame-brained policies of the last eight years.
