Yeah. It's like the ratio of the volume of the human body to a single particle of Ebola virus. Insignificant.
Geez.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

BRTW, oil drilling technology rests on a base of knowledge built up by the Chinese in the Sung Dynasty period (9th/13th century AD ~ more or less). Discover has a great program where they visit the old derricks to see what was going on ~ a near miss with industrialization!

Geez.
You make my point.
Well drilling at normal atmospheric pressure is an ancient art. Well drilling at the sort of pressure found at one mile’s ocean depth is really recent ~

I heard that what’s going on at the Horizon site is that it’s a fracture and there are multiple plumes besides the one at the well head. But I can’t make any claim to the veracity of it.
The whole thing has been so politicized that I don’t know what is true. In an election year especially I stick with “Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see.”
Nevertheless...
I think we need to start invoking the old gods to intervene. Without it we are doomed!
I mean specifically we need to have Obama and the EPA establish an ethnic section within the EPA( so politically correct!), who go around collecting virgins to sacrifice to volcanos in Hawaii.No hear me out, its not so outlandish! All of Obama's African dictator friends, including Robert Mugabe, would support this, especially if some of the virgins were Caucasian! Rev. Jeremiah Wright would approve immediately!
Of course we know that there are almost no Dem virgins, so that leaves the conservative Republicans as a source. We could sell Obama on it as a way to reduce the numbers of conservatives as well!
And on top of that, we could reverese Global Warming almost immediately! What to you think Al Gorp was doing when he boarded Molly Hegerty in Oregon? He was checking her virginity!They are already planning IT!(This will be Al's defence to Molly's law suit.)
THE VIRGIN SACRIFICE MOVEMENT (VSM). JOIN TODAY!!!!! ( Sponsored by Presidential Executive Order to the E.P.A.)
At first, the well is under pressure (not from being pushed in like a balloon, it’s PRESSURIZED). So the oil comes out on it’s own.
Later, when the pressure is less, they will pump water into the deposit to push oil out. Obviously we aren’t at that point yet, or they wouldn’t have to cap the well, it would have just stopped.
There’s no empty spaces to be filled by rocks or water; the water pressure pushing down couldn’t force the oil out into the water pushing down.
His golf games might be more exciting with the earthquake alibi otherwise not so much.
An Oil cavern....???
There are Oil Wells all over this earth....
I do not believe any one of them has ever encountered an Oil Cavern....
“Could the shifting walls of the oil cavern cause the earthquake swarms in Arkansas?”
Could be. Could be my septic tank is destabilizing the front range of Colorado. Could be Denver will slide down into Kansas.
Ya’ never know, but I certainly wouldn’t post any of my weird theories out in public. That would be REALLY weird.
Next thing, we'll learn that the BP Oilrig Explosion caused the Russian supply ship to totally miss docking with the space station.
Yes, but this is too ridiculous to warrant a reply.
I watched that am truly amazed at what they could do with with woven lines and cutters for various rock. I was told they could make anything as good as you wanted it if you were willing to pay. Cutlery is a good example.
