” Here’s The Questions You Should Be Asking About The Gulf Of Mexico Oil Spill (http://www.businessinsider.com/gulf-of-mexico-deepwater-horizon-oil-spill-2010-4)";
Thanks for the reference to an excellent article, which is very informative and explains why the sane response is to continue to drill offshore, albeit as safely as possible.
A reader remarking on the article had this to say:
“The U.S. is probably the only country in the world that does not require a Sub-Sea Safety Valve (SSSV) to be installed on every offshore well. This allows wells to be shut in even if the blowout preventers are damaged. Why MMS does not require this is beyond me.”
Anybody know about this?
Well, I heard the same thing from another source.
I know one thing, that whole issue sounds like some lefty-lib BS to make the US look bad. I believe it when I hear it from a reliable source.
Anyhow, the actual damage oil spills do is usually way exaggerated in MSM. Nature repairs itself pretty well in the wnd and there’s very little we feeble humans can really do to cause *permanent* damage.
If some weird species only a couple of long-haired ecofreaks ever even knew existed disappears from a few miles of shoreline... well sorry to say but who gives a sh*t? Crude oil is NOT some artificial superpoison but pretty much just the end product of biomass decomposing.
