My money is still on torpedoes. That is not going to change.
That said, the government seems to think that environmentalists, conservationists and oceanographers always go to the highest bidder.
"W"rong !
People involved with the well being of this planet are NOT involved with toxic industries. They are far more moral than that.
The people that are the smartest and best centered on the well being of this planet and its oceans and its fisheries are opposition to the industries and ALWAYS are in consultant to the government in activism and in positions within academia and the government such as NOAA and NASA and the US Forest Service.
So, that said, British Petroleum has a decision to make and that is they are going to do the right thing and blow the ruptures of the planet closed or they are going to continue in an ineffective and untested manner at a depth they should have never drilled in the first place.
That said, there is a roll by the USA military and federal and State governments to demand a quick resolve to a set of circumstances that are out of control and have been from the beginning.
British Petroleum and Halliburton have breached EVERY safety standard in the industry and killed eleven people while doing it.
Eminent Domaine comes into play here and it is time to call this what it is. It is a corrupt government structure that has allowed this level of negligence and the federal government needs to take up the responsible position and recall the rights to the leases that surround this tragedy.
The USA military needs to have war games at 5000 feet down and close the rupture to the planet.
There are currently eleven people dead and entire coastal economy on the way to being destroyed for an indeterment length of time and I am calling it half a century recovery, if at all.
Enough!!!
I have held this point of view from the beginning and I will not be changing it.
Haliiburton has prepared this concrete structure to use at the cost of who knows how many millions of dollars and NEVER took into account the EXTREME conditions at 5000 feet down. Where did they think they were engineering this structure to be placed, at the surface, in the tropics, with full sunlight and temperatures exceeding 60 degrees Fahrenheit?
Halliburton has NO CLUE what it is doing and this is suppose to be state of the art.
THAT SHOULD BE TELLING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS ACROSS THE GLOBE SOMETHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are limits to going into deep spaces of the planet and this is one of them !
