In the ongoing narrative of all is well in the Gulf of Mexico, Barack Obama and his family came to Panama City Beach Florida for vacation.

If a Hurricane Hits Gulf Oil, Bring the Lab, Not the Cleanup…

Okay, missed this one first time around, but damn, couldn’t just let it go… From the AP: If a hurricane hits, the Obama administration’s response plan says workers must sort out where the oil came from and who should pay for it “prior to removal of contaminated debris…the cleanup process after a storm will require representative sampling and investigative work to maintain accountability,” the 35-page … Continue reading If a Hurricane Hits Gulf Oil, Bring the Lab, Not the Cleanup…

Relief Well to be Completed After All…Static Kill Not So Successful

From the Times-Picayune: BP’s blown-out oil well in the Gulf of Mexico is not yet plugged for good, and work on what’s been touted as the permanent solution will need to continue, the federal government said Friday.

More Worries about the Casing inside the Well?

I have this dream where people are just honest about what’s going on, where scientists work together, where Governments and corporations take a look at a problem, inform the public, clearly state what is happening and spell out in clear detail why they are making the decisions they make.  If this article is correct, there is definite reason for stalling the completion of the relief … Continue reading More Worries about the Casing inside the Well?

An Open Letter to the Remaining Oil in the Gulf of Mexico

I thought we had a deal. When we released our pie chart back on August 4th, that prop we used to show everybody watching the networks just how 75% of the oil had been removed from the Gulf, we did so under terms of a certain agreement, one that it disappoints us to find you have not kept. You know, we didn’t ask you to … Continue reading An Open Letter to the Remaining Oil in the Gulf of Mexico

Let the New Narrative Fly On…

Ever since the Deepwater Horizon exploded on April 20th and the Macondo Well started gushing into the Gulf of Mexico, the fight began on three fronts; the well had to be sealed, the oil had to be cleaned and the story had to be controlled. The Government had to come up with the narrative, find the storyline that painted everyone in the best light, or … Continue reading Let the New Narrative Fly On…
