The Scientists are on board in helping the Gulf, unfortunately, that boat ain’t allowed offshore

I live in a crazy world, really do….and that’s not just because I am an Adult Crisis Counselor… nope. I live in this world of my own ideas where I like to think that some things would be obvious… And in my world, if an oil rig blew up and started spurting…oh, I don’t know…something like 2 Million Gallons of oil into the Gulf of … Continue reading The Scientists are on board in helping the Gulf, unfortunately, that boat ain’t allowed offshore

Obama, Coast Guard Criminalize Free Access to the Gulf Spill, Reporters Must Now Get Permission

Ed. Note: Since this story broke, the Coast Guard has been trying to deny the evidence, then admitting the rule is in effect, then producing false photographs to show vandalism of boom as reasons why, then saying the photographs were a mistake…many of these corrections done by a woman named Rachel Polish who works PR for a company that has BP as a client, while … Continue reading Obama, Coast Guard Criminalize Free Access to the Gulf Spill, Reporters Must Now Get Permission

Ohhh the land of B-P…and the home of the…

…place where reporters and photographers keep getting ordered out of public areas. In this happy instance, a reporter was stopped by Homeland Security who took his name, social security number and demanded to see the photos he had taken under threat of being detained if he didn’t comply.

The Greatest of All Time!

Remember when an oil well was just an oil well? Remember when BP was just known for bad commercials, like their “BP: it’s a start” campaign? Remember when the Gulf of Mexico was a living eco-system? Remember when British Petroleum was simply known for setting record profits? Them were the days… 1.9 to 3.6 million barrels spilled into the gulf and still going strong…beating Mexico’s Ixtoc … Continue reading The Greatest of All Time!

As promised, a happier story…BP’s Press Release for June 28th

Okay…so I promised a happier story… I don’t want to sound biased, but I read this entire press release, and apparently, things simply aren’t that bad and the response of British Petroleum has been both massive and thorough. In fact, it would appear it has been an unprecedented response for an unprecedented spill with their estimates of 39,000 workers, almost 5000 ships and over a … Continue reading As promised, a happier story…BP’s Press Release for June 28th

Yes, thank you…Dispersants are about BP liability, not Gulf protection

So it finally gets to the mainstream news…well about time. Check out this conversation between Anderson Cooper and Fred McCallister, where Fred discusses trying to get skimmers to the Gulf for over a month. BP isn’t helping, they don’t want skimmers, why? Dispersants submerge the oil, limit liability by hiding the size and spreading the costs of cleanup over time. The safest way to remove … Continue reading Yes, thank you…Dispersants are about BP liability, not Gulf protection
