How Big is the BP Deepwater Horizon Spill? REALLY Big
I got the tip from Mike Soron about using Google Earth to compare the size of BP’s Deepwater Horizon spill and it’s BIG.
Here’s an overlay that I did for Ottawa (and region).
So I have a question: we can toss a punk in jail for years for carrying a dime-bag of pot, but we can’t rack up the CEO and other stockholders of BP, Halliburton and other companies when they allow this kind of disaster to occur?
C’mon.
This is revolting.
Right on. You may consider to watch videos from the CBS 60 Minutes I posted on my blog.

Right on. You may consider to watch two videos from the CBS 60 Minutes I posted on my blog.

Sorry for the repetition. It does not seem to post the link.
BC’s Coastal First Nations did an overlay last week showing the Deepwater Horizon spill in the context of Vancouver, the Georgia Strait and Vancouver Island. They’re immensely concerned about Premier Campbell’s newfound fondness for offshore drilling and the deepwater oil tanker port being proposed to permit Tar Sands oil to be shipped to Asia. Imagine oil drilling in a major subduction zone. When the Cascadia plate next slips, and that could be any time, Vancouver Island will be shifted 15-feet east. It’s not too difficult to grasp what that kind of power would do to the seabed and any wells operating there.
Your concerns are well noted. Too bad our ‘leaders’ will ignore the wishes of the population. Some day, we’ll all understand the true cost of carbon and we’ll stop resisting common sense ideas like off-grid housing developments (or housing projects that actually produce energy or simple improvements like geo-thermal or solar energy.
OR just reducing what we demand. What a novel concept.
Did you know that Stan Meyers built a Camaro in the 1970s that ran on water? Imagine a world without carbon fuel and we won’t need to worry about off-shore drilling and wars for oil. He did: http://waterpoweredcar.com/stanmeyer.html
