EXCELLENT SLIDESHOW: Gulf disaster in pictures.
BP knows the flow rate of the oil
To determine the flow rate of the oil, you need to know three things:
(1) The velocity of the material coming out of the BOP
(2) The ratio of gas to oil
(3) The diameter of the exit orifice
BP very likely measured (1) when the riser was removed, creating a single leak atop the BOP, where a flow sensor could have been positioned. The gas/oil ratio (2) has been determined on the surface by the flaring and oil capture processing operation. The BOP pipe diameter (3) has been known from the start.
Thus one can conclude that BP is suppressing accurate information about the magnitude of oil leakage into the GOM in order to protect its profitability and institutional survival. This behavior is contrary to the public interest, and the refusal of the Obama administration to demand this information confirms that corporations dominate our society, both on Wall Street and in the energy sector.
The most important information has been suppressed
Massey mine protest:
Most Freedom Flotilla survivors describe how Israeli Defense Force treated the activists aboard the Freedom Flotilla as an appalling act of piracy, but if one gets their news from the mass media, like many Americans, they would think otherwise. The Israeli PR machine has done everything possible to portray themselves as the victims of an attack by activists armed with ?clubs? and ?knives;? however, secret video chips have circulated images of activists using their Gaza-bound humanitarian aid to administer medical assistance to Israeli commandos wounded by their own aggressive assault. Despite what may seem obvious about a battle on the high seas pitting Israeli commandos against weaponless activists, the Israeli PR machine is destroying activsts? cameras and recording equipment in order to manipulate the events in their favor. Retired U.S Military Colonel and U.S. State Department Official, now anti-war activist and Freedom Flotilla survivor Ann Wright joins us in studio to give us a first hand account of what really happened during the Freedom Flotilla raid.

ReplyDeleteThose readings suggest that a large plume, probably consisting of hydrocarbons from the leak, stretches through the deep ocean for at least 15 miles west of the gushing oil well, Dr. Joye said. The top of the plume is about 3,600 feet below the sea surface; the plume is three miles wide and as thick as 1,500 feet in spots, she said.
ReplyDeleteThe University of South Florida researchers found an even larger plume stretching northeast of the oil well, with the hydrocarbons separated into two distinct layers in the ocean. One layer is about 1,200 feet below the surface, and the other is 3,000 feet deep, the scientists said.
The government’s confirmation of subsea oil plumes is significant in part because BP has denied that such plumes existed, and NOAA itself had previously been cautious in interpreting the preliminary results from Dr. Joye’s group.
“The oil is on the surface,” Tony Hayward, BP’s chief executive, said last week. “There aren’t any plumes.”

ReplyDeleteActually, I believe I wrote you an email and it was returned recently.
Eat was me - raging against this friggin comment system!
ReplyDeleteIt is still doing it - I was at work before, home now.
ReplyDeleteUp until today it has always remembered me. Now each time I have to comment it makes me fill out my email address and automatically assigns my name based on the part of my email address before the @ sign.
It allows me to change the name in a box before I post my comment, but when I post it it still uses the name it assigned.
This truly sucks!
see what I mean - I can write whatever i want in the "Insert a valid email address" box and it gives my name based on that
ReplyDeletewrote a paragraph as an address - that one didn't work
ReplyDeleteHope they fix this tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteSee you tomorrow - BB2
ReplyDeleteCheck which address you are using - if you had the sbcglobal one - that one is no good anymore. Just change the sbcglobal part to gmail.com - the rest is still the same.

ReplyDeleteOK, this is Big Dan, I logged out and made a comment to see what happens.
ReplyDeleteIt took the part to the left of the @ sign as my name, from my email.
ReplyDeleteAnd when I hit "post as", it makes me fill out the whole thing again every time I comment.
So you see now what I am talking about!
ReplyDeleteYou can use a throwaway email and just put in whatever bogus name & info you want to make up about yourself - if you're worried about privacy, don't give them a thing!
