Perry backs offshore drilling, calls spill 'act of God' (click title to entry - thank you)
What God is Perry referring to, the Anti-Christ?
Drilling does damage. Real Damage. It causes geological events. Get over it. Human Error is NOT an Act of God.
If Rick Perry is stating there was a seismic anomaly that cause the event in the Gulf then what he is saying is the 'science' behind the drilling is IGNORANT to that danger and all the drills currently 'at work' in the region need to stop because of the newly discovered danger.
According to USGS there has been NO such activity when this negligent incident occurred.
TO STATE 'These things happen.' when it was COMPLETELY preventable is the MOST irresponsible statement a Governor can make. He's being re-elected? Why?
At the very LEAST, this was CAUSED by the poorest of decision making under the Bush White House. It is caused by lax standards in government and lax standards in the Petroleum Industry.
The Republicans EXERCISE IGNORANCE IN GOVERNING 'AS A METHODOLOGY.'
AND.
Seek to keep the public/electorate IGNORANT to sophistication to achieve their goals ! It is a METHODOLOGY Rick and Slick !
Those rigs should be no closer to ANY fishery than 150 miles OUT. To allow such drilling at a sensitive place that imperils the entire global circulation via The Gulf Loop Current is INSANE.
This is CORRUPTION through and through. There were scientists at the 'drop of a hat' whom responded to 'Oh, by God, the Loop Current' when they heard this was a LEAK and not a spill that could be controlled.
THAT is negligence when the laws were passed WITHOUT reporting such dangers clear and concisely AND ignoring the possibly AT ALL.
You are not going to get away with it ANYMORE !!!!
There are international implications to this incident and the equipment being used WAS NEVER EVEN RESEARCHED at that depth. It should have NEVER been permitted ESPECIALLY at 42 miles offshore
Running of holes to dig, Rick?

Mud eruption 'caused by drilling'
By James Morgan

The eruption of the Lusi mud volcano in Indonesia was caused by drilling for oil and gas, a meeting of 74 leading geologists has concluded.
Lusi erupted in May 2006 and continues to spew out boiling mud, displacing around 30,000 people in East Java.
Drilling firm Lapindo Brantas denies a nearby well was the trigger, blaming an earthquake 280km (174 miles) away.
Around 10,000 families who have lost their homes are awaiting compensation, which could run as high as $70m (£43m). http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sci/tech/7699672.stm
I don't care if a trigger spot is hit within 5 feet of such an incident or 500 miles from an incident, it still is a trigger spot that destabilizes geological dynamics 'INHERENT' that region. The leadership in these countries take 'advice' from other government leaders and I can only begin to imagine who recommended this one.
The United Nations needs to 'standardize' the rules surrounding drilling and mining. Absolutely. These small countries that DO NOT have their own 'brain trusts' and 'think tanks' that are nationalized to their countries need guidance and the global community has to provide a 'neutral third party' to them. And whatever they do they should NOT allow such recommendations to be taken seriously from the 'track record' of any poorly performing country or company, such as the USA in its relationship with BP.
The Right Wing Republicans should 'keep it comin' / 'bring it on'; so we can get this over with.
