This is dreadful... it has been going on for 10 weeks.
from ABC News: Senator Brown says, "We've got a company here which refuses to answer questions to journalists about what's going on and in the middle of this, Martin Ferguson awards this oil company with new exploration licences," he said. "This is an irresponsible minister who has made a bad situation worse. He should go."

Remember, "Drill, Baby, Drill" from last fall? Here in the US the GOP and some Dems are still pushing for more off-shore drilling and for more drilling on public lands and for more and more drilling of this nasty, dirty, greasy, and awful stuff that is killing the planet.
Well, I'm capable of learning the lesson the first time. No one has to club me over the head with disaster after disaster after revolting messy disaster, and I'm tired of having politicians (they're NOT leaders) who are just owned lock, stock, and barrel by big oil and big energy and dirty coal, and who have sold us out and will kill off our children with their greed. This is continue to happen until WE make it stop and that's the bottom line. Apparently, we're not the only ones, and it's only getting worse.

Strange how the very highly educated/skilled persons make these kind of errors/disasters, if you and I make a spelling mistake at work, we are on the red carpet.

What was PTTEP doing to stop the leak before starting to pump mud into the lines??? How could they let it go on so long and no one in the area said or did anything about it? All these stupid people who are put in high positions for big bucks and then they stand around scratching you-know-what because they have no idea what to do about it? I have a few ideas but doubt officials would approve of them............

Lest we not forget to remind us all, the oil industry is a dirty business in more ways than one...

Well, the Ancients used mercury to run their Vimanas and rocket ships. Of course mercury is also toxic. Funny how we "evolving" folks haven't been able to work out the technical stuff of how they did it. I am talking of 1300 to 1800 BC and that is over 3500 years ago, and WE think we are advanced?
Chinese had a helicopter and X-ray machines AND the Gobi Desert was generated by an atomic explosion. When I read these things in Arthur Mees Encylopedia back in the early 1950s, we were told it was all myth.

Apparently the father of the atomic bomb may not have thought so when he commented that possibly we had unleashed a power that was known to the ancients. Most folks had no idea of what he was talking about.

A friend of mine has been researching ancient literature and found even the instructions on how to build and fly the ancient flying machines. And we thought that the Wright Bros invented them. I think sometimes we get our ideas all tied up in HOW GREAT WE ARE and how much WE have evolved. Well, it seems they can't even put out an oil fire or stop a gas leak. Is it the love of money or stupidity or both that is destroying our Planet? Most of these people believe in evolution, so why aren't they doing better for our planet? Simple answer is that they are like the blind leading the blind.
