Investigation is on going
Hey folks,
Happy Tuesday to you.
"You are Mr. 'From the Energy Front' right? So why no comment about the worst environmental disaster in history? And you want to drill more? Great. You people amaze me. These wind farms will kill your friends businesses. So what is a few dead animals and bankrupt fishermen. Right?"
OK. Two points here. I think. First Windmills do not work. Ask T. Boone Pickens. He invested a lot of money in Wind Farms and they failed. He changed to Natural Gas. The wind is not reliable and when the wind is not generating the electricity needed, the will be powered by? You guessed it, OIL.
Another aspect of it is that these things cost MORE to remove than they do to put up. So when time proves that this will not work, they will most likely just be abandoned and left there to rot.
As for the Rig? Sorry, the investigation is still on going. Until we have a cause, I have little to say about it. My gut tells me there is more to it then just a happenstance, accident, or mistake. These things just do not blow up, leak this much oil, and sink. They just don't. One also has to question the timing that this took place. So until we have an actual cause, I have nothing to say about it. But if
you, or anyone else, may be interesting in further information. Here you go. This is from our friend Jane Van Ryan posted over at her Blog.
In effort to provide information to all Americans about oil spills and the ongoing response, here's a list of websites that might be useful:
www.energytomorrow.org - We're working to add functionality to this website so we can provide as much up-to-date information as possible. Today, the homepage contains links to safety and response information as well as to this blog.
www.api.org - For information about API's offshore safety and environmental standards, frequently-asked questions on the Deepwater Horizon tragedy and related materials, use the horizontal navigation window and highlight "Safety Response."
www.deepwaterhorizonresponse.com - This site is maintained by the U.S. Coast Guard and other parties who are responding to the oil spill. Updates, photographs, diagrams and videos are added regularly.
www.bp.com - BP posts news releases about the clean-up efforts above water as well as updates on the efforts to stop the oil below the surface.
www.epa.gov/bpspill - This site contains information about the impact of the spill on the environment.
www.oilspillinfo.org - This API-sponsored website provides basic information about oil spill prevention and response. You can find a simple diagram and animation of a blowout preventer here.
See you soon.
