They don't know how to stop it, and the feds are dragging their feet on the permits to build protective barriers. You are right!<br /><br />lakeviewer- Thanks, cher! I remember the Santa Barbara spill and I agree, WE can't. When WE say "enough is enough" and demand change, and when WE give up our addiction to oil.<br /><br />Vagabonde- You are right, it is a crime! We have the former administration to thank, as you mention. The buck stops at the White House and this spill is a direct result of those relaxed regulations and they should all be prosecuted. But, you know that will never happen. Merci for coming by, cher!<br /><br />Levinson- Hi and welcome! Thanks so much for the nice compliment and for stopping by.

I heard that many other nations require a costly type of blow out prevention for wells drilled in their waters. However, there was an unexplained policy change during the Bush/Cheney administration and it was not required in the US. BP said it would never happen. This is more than a terrible accident, this is a crime.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849317861159929264.post-73340723267969105092010-05-17T22:51:59.306-05:002010-05-17T22:51:59.306-05:00trish- You're probably right about that.

But it is horrifying to think of the long term effects of this spill. Thanks for the nice compliments and for coming by!<br /><br />Eddie- I think that they have some of the brightest engineers working on it, but I think that they should have thought of a way to check the batteries on the blowout preventer, way BEFORE they started drilling and operating this rig. Go figure! Merci for your hugs and prayers, cher! <br /><br />Kathryn- Mine, too! Hopefully, great lessons will be learned and something positive will come out of it. Meanwhile, it sucks!<br /><br />Kat, I totally agree with you and it is so tragic. The reason that they are not in a hurry to do anything else is because they are making tons of money on the chemicals that they are using to disperse the oil. I will be posting about that, soon!

What's happening is criminal. This was bound to happen one day, and the oil companies knew it, and measures should have been in place to put things right IMMEDIATELY but it looks like this is going to go on gushing for a long time. There was something on the TV news here that all the hairdressers are saving the cut hair from the salons and shipping it to the coast to be used in booms as hair absorbs oil. But surely, the tiny amount of hair isn't going to make a bit of difference to that huge amount of oil.Shammickitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11969803866899076638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849317861159929264.post-41153972310314784822010-05-15T10:51:41.921-05:002010-05-15T10:51:41.921-05:00We have been keeping up with the spill.

It's the fact that they didn't, that is really scary!<br /><br />GYPSY- There may have been no way to predict the spill, but when you're drilling a mile deep, they had to expect that sooner or later, something like this could happen! A simple half-million dollar device could have prevented the whole thing, but BP chose not to install it and there were no regulations that required them to do so! Thanks for sending those emails. We all need to send them!<br /><br />Joanne- Thanks for your kind comment! We are no strangers to adversity and our ancestors went through a lot worse during the Acadian Deportation in Nova Scotia in 1755, and the 30 years of exile that followed. So we will persevere, but it's a hard pill to swallow. Especially since it could have been prevented.<br /><br />Midlife- BP and all of the big oil companies, basically do what they want to do. They had free reign in the last administration and that's what happens when you put two oil men in the White House. Hopefully, things will change, after this.<br /><br />Janine- Thanks so much for your prayers, we need all the prayers that we can get, right now. I have been stocking up on seafood, too, so that I will at least have a good stash for a while. But, it could be years, before things get back to normal.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15846051579802335412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849317861159929264.post-16009760465794428182010-05-15T09:28:44.966-05:002010-05-15T09:28:44.966-05:00Breaks my heart :-(Breaks my heart :-(Kathryn Magendiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12863595228298349863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849317861159929264.post-74963879720742194122010-05-15T03:15:01.495-05:002010-05-15T03:15:01.495-05:00It is a National Emergency and it seems strange th...It is a National Emergency and it seems strange that everyone is waiting for BP to ddo something about it.
