So yes, yes they do.

I'm not defending the past actions of BP, etc etc, but the problem is with the well, not the field. I'm betting they sell it anyway, god save them if the new well ever leaked.

So...it's the job of oil companies to explore alternative fuels?
Is that like how it's the tobacco company's job to create electronic cigarettes?

Look, I understand how economics and capitalism work; hell, I'm a Republican.

That being said - drilling into that reserve again ANYWHERE in the near future would be about the biggest scumbag slap in the face to the residents of that coastline you could possibly imagine.

"We know we farked up your environment for the next 100 years or so, but....we've decided we're still going to find a way to profit off ot it."

The only way I would be OK with this is if the well drilling was absolutely scrutinized every step of the way by every relavent agency around AND the profit from every ounce of oil recovered was used to spend the next 60 years cleaning and filtering the gulf waters and beaches. The remaining money, if there's any left, would be paid out to each and every person whose lives were affected by the spill (much like the Alaskan Permanent Fund).

With all due respect to BP, I say: You Can't Farking Drill There Anymore.

That's it boys, you lost your chance. The well goes to someone else.

Basically I don't care if the same reservior is tapped, just not by BP after this massive clusterfark.

Thank you, BP, for reminding us that we still have yet to hit rock bottom.

You first spoke about alternative energy which is generally governed by physical properties. How much energy can you get/transport from 1 billion solar cells vs. 1 nuclear power plant? How far does your Volt go on a full charge verses a full tank of gas?

RowdyPants: How about "no" BP?

You say "no", they hear "go ahead".

I think you'll need to make them understand. I recommend a Remington, to drive the point home.

Princepapa: So...it's the job of oil companies to explore alternative fuels??

I seem to remember many ads by bp about how exploring alternative fuels was one of their missions.

Satanicpuppy: Um, so what? What is that oil field now a magical special oilfield that can never be drilled again? It's not like there aren't tons of other potential spills waiting to happen in the gulf.

We use oil. Deal with it.

How about not allowing BP to drill it, but rather a company that didn't fark up epically. As in, pretty much any of the others that operate in the Gulf.

Did you guys really think this spill would stop drilling?

I hope we can discover the secrets to Mario's superb jumping skills. I'd love to hop hop and away to work!

I don't know the answers to your questions or what verses you are singing. As another poster noted, I suppose I'm just dreaming of unicorn fart generators while, as you proposed, I am high. Funny, though, that bp itself has a division that is dedicated to alternative energy. I wonder if those guys are high all the time, harnessing unicorn farts.

Last time I checked they're an oil company. This is what oil companies do. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Weird stance by BP. Because the other thousands of wells in the Gulf were all abandoned and the companies started producing bicycles.

To be fair, money buys loyalty and protection. They'll spend for their right to drill, and we will do nothing.

Unless someone has the brilliant idea to get these guys in their most vulnerable moment, and shoot them dead. Then it's on.

homeschooled: I know I'm not the most informed person on this topic, but from what I understand this happened because of a BP error when removing a pipe, or something. A pressue issue. Not the location of the drilling.

But again, like I said...... not that educated on this whole topic. But it's not that big of a deal to me, as long as they don't f*ck everything up again.

Based on the content of this post I'd say it's safe to assume you're better educated than most.

I'm not sure what exactly caused the explosion and subsequent disaster but I am pretty sure you are correct that it had pretty much nothing to do with the location of the well and everything to do with an asshat company doing things in an asshat manner.

So really, as long as they do it correctly this time I don't care where they drill. I'd be lying if I didn't admit my disappointment at BP's continued existence as a corporation, however.

The sad thing is I doubt DIA or the majority of other apologists get shiat for their loyalty to British Petroleum and their imperialistic antics. If they did it wouldn't be so pathetic.

From bp's website:
Since 2005, BP Alternative Energy has invested around $4 billion in wind, solar, biofuels and advanced technologies like hydrogen power and carbon capture and storage.

With BP's safety record, I am not so sure I want them drilling anything, anywhere.

But there is a lot of oil there that wants to come to the surface. So I say Fark BP, and bring on one of those other companies that know what the Fark they're doing and to them I say...

Drill Baby drill!!!

I'd like to think that is true, but it's quite likely it's hogwash.

Somacandra:

Exactly. But according to Bernoulli's Principle (new window) the pressure the oil exerts on Deepwater Horizon can't be relieved on the unless the oil has somewhere else to move to--hence up the relief well and out. Since the relief well will "kill" Deepwater Horizon from the bottom (as the "static kill" did from the top) I would assume the oil moving up and out of the relief well will be sold like any other mined oil--thus making it a standard oil well.


This has nothing to do with Bernoulli.... you are talking out of your ass

///taken way to many fluids classes not to respond to that one...

TheIndependent: OUTRAGE!! I don't think BP should do this!! So I for one am never going to use an oil based product again to show the world how much I care about this... and stuff...

If you're serious then you better turn your computer off, remove your shoes, clothes, underwear, stop sitting in that chair, move out of your house/apartment, stop eating, drinking and about anything else you can do... oh, breathing is allowed.

Everything we manufacturer is based on oil/oil byproducts in some fashion.

Well, no, it's not a Standard Oil well, it's a BP well. See, BP merged with Amoco (formerly Standard Oil) a few years ago. See the BP wikipedia entry for details.

/Hah, I kill myself sometimes.

Lipo: mainstreet62: Somacandra: Wasn't that part of the idea for the relief well in the first place: to drink up the old well's milkshake?

I'm under the impression that the reason the relief well is being drilled is to lower the pressure on the now cemented shut well. If enough pressure were to build up, maybe it would create too much pressure and make the cement crack somehow? I don't know.

Anyway, I have no problem with BP drilling again, as long as it is done safely, with plenty of safeguards in place.

BP learned a very expensive lesson with this spill, they're going to be more careful from now on. At least, one can hope they're more careful....

You're a fool if you believe that.

I have no issue with BP drilling there again.

I do have issue with BP not performing basic maintenance on the Trans-Alaskan pipeline. That was BP's other spill at the time, considering their track record I think they should have to sell their stake in the Trans-Alaskan pipeline.

There is only a certain capacity that can be physically generated from "alt. energy" as it can currently be harnessed, accessed, transported and used. Further, what makes it somewhat lucrative is that there are people out there paying a huge premium for it in addition to lots of dollars in the form of government grants. However, if we tried to make the grid 100% solar cells and windmills, we'd only have about 1% of the electric power consumed in the country. My point is that you can wish for alternative energy in one hand and shiat in the other, and if you burn the shiat you'd have more energy in that hand than the one wishing for alternatives... I believe hydrogen will be the future of energy, there's just the little matter of safely using it right now.
