Didn’t this happen last year right before the summer spike?

Any bets whether this tyrant in the WH uses this as an example of why we should get away from oil?
Prayers for the people involved in this.

My prayers are for the vicitms and their families.
BUT EVEN NOW, I can hear the rush of speculators running to take advantage of a bad situation by things even worse for the American energy conmsumer.
And you can be sure the Obamameister in the Oval Office will be spinning this to HIS own advantage.

Drilling increases during the spring because days are longer and demand will increase shortly.
Don’t know about the accident, but activity increases seasonally.

I agree. But he doesn’t need an oil platform fire to do that. He’s been doing it all along and in the coal world too, but offers no alternatives.

What "offshore drilling boom"?
Have I missed something? What American coastal areas are "booming" with new drilling?
Seems to me Obama's oil speech was heavy on "exploration", short on actual expanded drilling permissions.

Any bets whether this tyrant in the WH uses this as an example of why we should get away from oil?He'll tie the coal mine explosion with the oil platform explosion and say that America needs to change its energy policy to "cleaner" or "alternative" or "safer" energy sources.

Oil is down to $82 a barrel now, financial worries, and Greece is back in the news so all commodities along with stocks are tanking. We are headed in the same direction as Greece unless we reverse the stuff this crew is doing to us in the WH and Congress.

We don’t want a recovery until the Obama Monster is either OUT of the White House or de-fanged by A GOP controlled Congress.

Dang. Watch gas jump 10 cents a gallon over the weekend.

They were running the 12 casing over the reservoir and displaced to test the packer. It came back on them. It was a blow out. The BOP is open and they will come back in with ROV’s and try to shut the BOP today. Then it wont be able to flow.
To: RWB Patriot
Which begs the question, WAS it an accident?

True. But I think that recovery and Obama are like oil and vinegar.

Any bets whether this tyrant in the WH uses this as an example of why we should get away from oil? Sure he will; though guess with 'vat talk' and Goldman-Sachs, TOTUS is full right now.
Any news on 'how' this happened?
