If there ever were any in AK, Sarah ancestor's probably extincted them!<br /><br />Not drinking anyone's koolaid myself, but I do note O kept saying "safe" ... well now that it's no longer a thought game, we see it's not safe ... time to move heavily into alt energy. I don't get why repubs keep saying green legislation will cost jobs. If anything, it should generate jobs.<br /><br />(I've tried but failed to recall yer e-addy. trusting computer too much, never memorized.

It was bad enough BP submitted this regurgitated paperwork, but nobody in Minerals management caught it?<br />(Did you like my Giraffe/Alaska analogy?)...<br /><br />Anyway-- the point is both sides dropped the ball. One would expect Big Oil to try to cut corners, but the regulating entity is really exposed as to what a crappy job it is doing.<br /><br />Now all we hear is "it's never been done before at this depth". <br /><br />As of today, US Fish & Wildlife is reporting collected dead:<br />725 dead birds<br />324 dead sea turtles<br />39 dead dolphins<br /><br />Although Obama did not chant Drill Baby drill at his primary rallies, he did tout the virtues of safe oil, coal & nuclear power, and it was his administration that approved the Deepwater horizon offshore drilling permit. He himself spoke of how new technologies made offshore oil drilling very safe & clean. <br /><br />I don't expect Obama to don a hazmat suit & shovel dead oiled wildlife & oil from the beaches of 4 states, I do expect him to lay down a solid moratorium on more of the same & make sure the other 4000 offshore wells in the Gulf-- both deep & shallow are up to snuff. <br /><br />Apparently oil & money mix just fine. <br />Even though I voted for the guy, he definitely has both blood & oil on his hands. <br /><br />Sign me~ not drinking anyone's Kool aid.<br /><br />We voted for change & the president needs to find the silver lining in this disaster....<br />make some real changes to the status quo. <br /><br />**** Oh no re the death of the old computer. <br />I hope some computer pro can rescue date from it's hard drive.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-42097143970467590812010-06-13T09:59:50.438-07:002010-06-13T09:59:50.438-07:00the complete lack of any meaningful BP plan is sha...the complete lack of any meaningful BP plan is shameful, but so is the job of the govt agency in charge of reviewing such plans (MMA? I'm not even sure anymore, so many fingers have been pointed). I mean, really, some govt agency reviewed their estimates of walrus impact and thought, wow these guys have covered everything?!? Our tax returns get far more scrutiny. hmmm ... <br /><br />48 miles is not far enough. 48,000 miles would not be far enough. the ocean girdles the entire earth!<br /><br />(ps, fran, my computer died yesterday. kablooey!
