I wonder what you all drive as your day to day commuter? The most fuel efficeint vehicle you could find I am sure...
I look around, even amongst my birding friends and most of them are driving v6 or v8 vehicles. Why? Doesn't make sense to me...

Good point Russ. It's clear no change will come from the top, the elites are all too heavily invested in and inter-related with oil. It is up to us to minimize our use of energy in any and all possible ways. In my house for instance, I heat with wood and no light is ever left burning in an unoccupied room. Can you imagine the energy savings if every other light burning around the world was turned off? If every road had a bike path? If governments mandated 70 mpg cars? If we moved goods by train? Our cities are lit up like cosmic Christmas trees. It is not needed, and it kills.
This latest info about the sub-surface oil plumes leaves one speechless. I also saw on 60 Minutes tonight an interview with a survivor. Unbelievable, gross negligence in many layers led to this environmental holocaust.
Life in prison for all responsible would be lenient.

Does ANYBODY know what the heck they're doin' on this thing? Five weeks on, and they still don't have an accurate measure of the flow rate!
If they are going to continue with off shore oil production, it's clear a whole new govt. dept. will have to be created to assemble state of the art technology and legions of workers to handle future spills. Charge all concerned companies an annual rate to fund it, then fine the living daylights out of any company responsible for future accidental discharges.
What a monstrous and unforgivable assault on the Earth.

Here is a link to the "Top Kill " procedure that they will be attempting early tomorrow if all systems are go http://bp.concerts.com/gom/kentwells_update24052010.htm - It is long and technical. I guess BP CEO Tony Hayward gives it about a 60/70 % chance of working, in other words it is probably about 50/50. Lets keep our fingers crossed and pray to whatever god may hear us.

This is a good website for those wanting more 'background' info on the oil spill (2500 plus pages):
http://www.tigerdroppings.com/rant/default.asp?b=22
It's a fan website for Louisiana sports, but as a majority of the oil workers are from there, it has a lot of insider info. But we warned....its typical 'no holds barred' language without editing.
