Good News and Bad News on the Gulf Oil Spill
Tuesday, May 04, 2010 at 6:28 pm
Good news first: The oil spewing from the busted well on the Gulf of Mexico’s seafloor is likely of a light grade that will be easier to clean up than some heavy crudes, according to early tests conducted by a Louisiana State University scientist.
Now the bad news: Oil executives said today that the leak could grow to 60,000 barrels per day if BP fails in its efforts to plug it.
(For reference, current estimates put the gusher at around 5,000 barrels per day.)

DEEPWATER HORIZON IMPOSSIBLE DREAM SOLUTION
[The Broken Straw]
Now, this funnel thing at first seems like a great idea, but having been thru Typhoons and Hurricanes, a few more times then we liked, what happens when the Hurricane Season starts in less then [30] Thirty days, when the straw is attached to a ship that can't stand on station [Stay Were its at] or it tries and rips the straw into or even tears the cap off the well as the ship itself goes down, it doesn’t go straight down it sort of glides like a plane to its ocean resting place, the Titanic was Kilometers from were it sank, before it reached its grave..
[The Impossible Dream]
Now, after poking holes in someone else’s plan’s you have to be ready to counter with your own, it’s a matter of, [So what’s Your Great Idea?]. Well it’s the impossible Dream, it simply can’t be done, the plan that is. We are going back to the Pyramids, now them boys in Egypt could move some Granite Blocks, and no one, not one of these lettered [21st] Century types have come up with how it was done. But, if it were possible which it ain’t, we would go the Granite State, of the Green Mountain Boy's, or find a hunk of Granite somewhere close [Rob Peter and Pay Paul], swipe it and replace it later with a brand new crafted item, replacing the piece, that had the weight to cap off the Deepwater Horizon pipe at the sea bed. Take a laser cutting tool, which may or may not exist, like James Bond, and cut a hole larger than the size of the pipe, about one third the of the way into the center of the block, transport it to the site have the Glomar Explore brought from San Francisco, if it can raise a Russian Sub off Hawaii well lowering a very heavy NON-POURS, piece of very heavy Green Mountain Granite into place and letting it sink into the ocean floor sealing off the pipe period, should be a piece of cake, Like we said the impossible Dream.

I'm very patiently awaiting the judgment on the damages that BP has to pay. I'm leery of the 75m cap set in 1990. WTF is that anyway? 75m? That's almost nothing. What were BP's profit's last year? Last quarter?
