Natural gas well leaking in Gulf of Mexico, Coast Guard says

Ikari said:
I agree, I didn't mean to make it appear as if I was contending that point. They have been very corrupt and because of it we haven't realized much in the way of actual regulation. Still, it is necessary to have it in order to ensure proper and safe operation.

No, it id not look that way at all.

I support your observation - I would just like to see it actually work as it is supposed to.
 
What's the status of this well? Is it still leaking, or have they stopped the leak?

I'm not against the mining and extraction of these things. But the corporations behind them need to be regulated and watched with serious consequences for breeches of security or intelligence.

What about accidents, equipment failures, human error and acts of God?
 
"a rainbow sheen four miles wide and three-quarters of a mile long"

...is the equivalent of a few gallons of oil. Oil spreads extremely thinly. This incident is occurring fairly far out in the Gulf, very little chance of the shore being impacted.

Business has been slow enough for my company this summer, I don't need anything else to worry about.

I am and i realize i am. I certainly hope we invest more in green energy so we can move away from this.

Yeah invest in companies like solyndra and EV that fail. Why not be a true sport and not use any crude oil, natural gas or use anything made from coal. I think that means living in the woods with no equipment and please don't make a fire.
