Seriously......what do ya'll really expect Obama to do about the oil disaster??

[Swiffness!]

1. A new branch in FEMA that deals with these types of disasters.

Look at FEMA's current organizational structure and tell me if you really want that department to be under THEIR wing

http://www.fema.gov/about/structure.shtm

(note how Louisiana is in the same "region" as Arkansas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. WTF? and you gotta love the "Center for Faith Based Initiatives and Neighborhood Partnerships")

2. A new push for federal government study that makes sure if this happens in the future the GOVERNMENT can handle it within weeks at the expense of the company.

This would require the Gov't to purchase things like those fancy deep sea robots, and maintain a staff of engineers and scientists for such a purpose. The equipment would need to be maintained but most of the staff could be kept on reserve call.

3. A law that says you cant drill it if you cant fix it.

So in other words, Ban Deepwater Drilling.

Nicola Tesla gave the WORLD FREE CLEAN ENERGY in the 1920's are these fuck*n Artards are still drilling for OIL! The World LOST! The Elite Won

oh even Republicans are agreeing that needs to go

LOL @ this:

Rush Limbaugh said that the escrow fund would be a "slush fund," and wondered where the money would end up going: "Who's gonna get this money? Union activists? ACORN people? Who's gonna get this money. Let's keep a sharp eye on who Feinberg gives this money to. Because I'm telling you, this is just another bailout fund, called something else, and we'll see who gets it."

FOH

Shiiid, local and state governments are having a feild day with this. They get spend "non taxpayer" money. The Mayor of N.O. just demanded 75 million from BP to promote tourism in New Orleans. 75 Million!!! What he trying to make, a James Cameron movie about crawfish and jazz?!??! I have no remorse of BP, Haliburton, Transocean and all the parties need to be held liable to the fullest extent. Fuck a cap. But at the same time the government needs to pointing at it self, because the blames goes their way also.

How about we just have the local communities, officials, and companies that actually have a stake in the coast manage the regulation and inspection of offshore drilling? MMS had regulators and inspectors, but they were partying it up with Oil Rig Execs, sharing women, doing coke, and all kinds of shit. These government inspectors dont have a stake in the gulf coast show why should they even care? And why were we drilling in the deep water where its unsafe? Most of the deep water drilling platforms wanted to drill only a few miles off the coast in shallow water, where its less dangerous, and Louisiana was willing to let them, but the Federal govt over ruled and said they have to be in deepwater. Why cant the local states have their own say over where they drill or don't drill?

Seems to me like giving Federal authorities even more responsibility on this will make it worse and more cumbersome.

It was also Wireless Technology aswell, IN THE FUCK*N 20's! Thanks to JP Morgan and a host of others they killed FREE ENERGY FOR ALL

Because they should have a stake in doing their fucking job competently and sober. Local gov'ts aren't prone to corruption? HA

Deepwater Horizon WAS NOT A U.S FLAGGED RIG!!!! That means U.S Inspectors were not allowed on board the rig to inspect it. The Federal Gov't DOES NOT require automated shut off devices to be installed. They should. OMFG MOAR GUBMINT

That's what happens when Wardenclyffe Tower is never completed. Then again, if it had, WW2 might've been fought with Rayguns.

But isnt that always the case? "If they would have only dont their job" "If the Army corps of engineers would have only done their job and built the levees correctly" "If the SEC would've only done their job and saw what was going on" etc etc.

And I didnt say local governments, I said locals can form an organization, people that live there, business owners, property owners, govt reps, etc....and have the organization hire a private consultant/inspector to for the rigging.

Why is that? Who made these rule? Why is it that a rig is views the same as a ship? If the Horizon is in so called "U.S. Territorial Waters" why is it allowed to avoid saftey regulations given by the country, state, or local property owners in which their very work affects?

So we're screwed.....

well the corps of engineers don't build shit anymore and simply hire private contractors to do everything but that's another thread for another day

I imagine its because offshore rigs are viewed no differently than say, a fishing boat that relies on a certain section of sea for economic sustenance. Of course, some (Commies who want to take away Mom & Apple Pie) would dispute this, citing some nonsense or other about potential catastrophic consequences.

And it wasn't in U.S Territorial Water, but the U.S Economic Zone.

Tesla was mosdef before his time. He revealed a lot of DEEP PHYSICS to J.P. Morgan and what do we have to show for it?

I'm a little lost on this Tesla guy. I thought he was just a fake guy from Fallout 3, what clean energy fuel did he create or suggest we use? And how do you figure JP Morgan and others killed this "free" energy? If there is free energy out there, it needs to be used as soon as possible, this world is going to kill itself with all this oil use.

If you look at some of the slides between loads in Fallout 3, there is a character named Tesla who seems to be holding some kind of light. He's also in some of the ad posters if you look around the Fallout world.

 

[Funky Dr]

I'm a little lost on this Tesla guy.

Tesla was heavily involved with electric generators back in the late 1800's and early 1900's. He was the one who figured out how to harness the power of Niagara Falls and generate electricity off the water's current. Just picture an electric producing water mill X 10,000,000,000,000,000,000

Theres a statue of him out here at one of the parks we have.

Wow, very fascinating......if we could harness and create electricity with water, I wonder why we don't have engines that can run on pure water now.

i am familiar with both Nikolai Tesla and the Fallout series; Fallout 3 is not the first of those games to reference him (for example, you could always rock Tesla armor in any of the Fallout games). the "what" has more to do with not realizing he wasn't a fake character from said game
