I remind, HURRICANE SEASON IS COMING. That is something that troubles California far less than the Gulf of Mexico. When was the last time a Cat 3 to 5 storm hit Los Angeles?
Christopher Farwell, left, and David Valentine (original picture is rather small, but, these are the folks.)
...In an earlier paper published in 2008, Valentine and Reddy documented how microbes devour many of the compounds in the oil emanating from the seeps. The new study examines the final step in the life cycle of the oil.
"One of the natural questions is: What happens to all of this oil?" Valentine said. "So much oil seeps up and floats on the sea surface. It's something we've long wondered. We know some of it will come ashore as tar balls, but it doesn't stick around. And then there are the massive slicks. You can see them, sometimes extending 20 miles from the seeps. But what is really the ultimate fate?"
Based on their previous research, Valentine and Reddy surmised that the oil was sinking "because this oil is heavy to begin with," Valentine said. "It's a good bet that it ends up in the sediments because it's not ending up on land. It's not dissolving in ocean water, so it's almost certain that it is ending up in the sediments."...
The oil companies do this to CUT DOWN ON OVERHEAD and then fraudulently sell it as environmental protection.
NOT !
The oil access only takes 'one crew' and 'one oil rig.'
So much for increased job rate.
The oil seep in the Gulf of Mexico is far larger than the "Coal Point Oil Field" in California. The reason is it worse is because of 'so called progressive technology' by oil companies whereby they drill vast number of wells that are then routed to ONE oil rig.
So the leak in the Gulf of Mexico is not just leaking ONE drill site, it is leaking many !!!!!!!!!
