Louisiana deep oil drilling disaster

[Ed Jewett]

Well, apologies for being AWOL on today's updates... personal stuff and all, and "drama" at another venue, and so on... Here's a crude update... Yes, indeed, people are waking up a lot to the fact that efforts have failed, ther's a video of someone's very expletive-delated explanation of the arrogance in the oil industry, there is a piece by Heinberg (one of the peak oil experts), there was video of a Congressman from LA breaking down in emotion, there was a Presidential press conference, and I clicked on the White House[dot]gov web site long enough to send a message to the POTUS (name and address required) which said in part “… your delayed reaction non-response was a grievous disservice to the US, its people, its spirit. You have failed. I expect your resignation on my table in the morning.” [/FONT]

I am now setting up a betting parlor with the long and short positions on the response:

* A Predator drone attack as joked about at the White House Correspondents dinner;
* a visit by some armed privateers;
* a visit by someone with a false passport, a syringe and a pillow; or
* an IRS audit;
* none.

Oh, and Dave Lindorrf has a meter embedded at his site ringing up the gallons in the event (with differening estimates):
