Is BP doing everything thing they can to stop the oil leak?

Is BP doing everything thing they can to stop the oil leak?

  1. It seems that BP is working more on PR and making excuses / hiding what really happened than they are in actually trying to fix anything. Also..why are we not hearing from ANY other oil companies with solutions? Does no one know what to do?

  2. Anyone who thinks they're just hanging around in the Gulf doing bong hits and only lining their pockets with the hard-earned cash of the downtrodden is far too cynical a person with whom to argue. Suffice it to say, BP probably wants this miserable PR debacle behind them and fixed, double-plus-fast. Why? Not for altruistic reasons of course but so they don't lose any more share holder value than necessary. That is the market at work; when they lose money, they'll fix what's broke. I lay this whole problem at the feet of whiny greens who want us to stop drilling for and using fossil fuels but have no idea with what to replace them. When the hippie greens can finally get fusion power and dilithium crystals working, then we can stop drilling for oil.

  3. On Tuesday May 11,2010 I received an Adobe form to send to Deep Water Horizon, 3 separate times I tried to fill it out and send, it would not go through, so being frustrated at the Adobe form and the Oil Spill situation I then did a direct message to Deep Water Horizon, (original had the word tubing, not "wrapping" as was announced on Twitter and Face Book approx 30 minutes before I sent the email)here is what I said:
    Take a type of thick flexible material such as a thick rubber wrapping, use
    a robotic armed sub to seal the wrapping around the break/'valve, have a
    connection installed on the wrapping for a kelly hose and have that transfer
    the oil to the surface where it can be connected to a tanker, use a vacuum
    line to suck up the oil through the kelly hose, valve at the top to close
    off the flow for changing connections, have a buoy large enough to support
    the weight of the hose encase of accidental or purposely left in the water,
    have it set to hold the hose a few yards below the surface for easy
    retrieval . This should assist in keeping salt water out of the oil,
    recovering a majority of the oil and enable for repairs of the break via
    robotic submarines or similar.

    have a sealant or a compression type sealer for the flexible wrap at the
    break location, once that is set , your hoses should already be connected as
    the compression seal is lowered.

    6 days later I sent this to them after they tried the tubing;
    As for using the tube it will work 100%, it needs to be big enough to wrap
    around the pipe not inserted, as pressure builds up inside and pushes the
    tube out regardless of amount of prevention. When it is on the out side the
    pressure then pushes upwards with no restriction of flow, when it is inside
    the lip of the tube causes restriction and therefore is pushed out,. Think
    of it like a balloon inside the top of a shaken pop bottle, it will come out
    the sides , but if you place it around the outside of the bottle and a
    compression ring to hold it there it will stay in place.

    do they listen? or think they are capable of fixing it without the use of common sense?

  4. I saw on CNN today by anchor/reporter, a ship of sorts, out in the Gulf of Mexico, parked right over centre of gushing oil, a FIRST according to JD. Roberts. It's not just the livelihoods that have been lost, it's ALSO the wildlife. I just realized that Canadian birds who go south for the winter, some may get caught up in this oil spill, never to return. That...would a tragedy...plus the wildlife that's died already. And what about some of the many workers, formerly shrimpers and others now working for BP who aren't allowed to talk about their employer. It's all PR and then I see Tony Hayward, Brit. CEO and his high-cost commercial to appease BP's shareholders. Too litte Mr. Hayward, maybe too late. There have been mulitple citations towards BP and the bottom line is profit over safety of actual BP workers. MMS, the regulatory agent of BP, just a corrupt.

  5. I really think BP is taking time in advantage of their business more than finding a real solution and act with responsability of all the damage that they caused and still is causing. I think like an embargo first , a hard law order to stop them to do other than give solutions, the platform of oil should shut down but still they are picking the oil that they can get daily , if other company of the world should do this , would be totally paralized , I hope that the president Obama take in his hands this case directly without no burocratics laws or lobby business men and companies that are in btw , this is an emergency that in a long run will have more consecquences , i think there must be a deeply revision of the laws and rules about drilling , now is the Gulf , but i m worried what will happen in the Artic too , these activitiess should be very controlled very closed .I hope the fair law beat the corruption, that this case shows up very clear what is behind the scenes .
