Aneirin -> New Oil spill in Gulf of Mexico (7/28/2010 3:26:29 AM)

It seems these oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico are becoming a problem as apparently a tug pushing a barge struck an abandoned well which resulted in a mile long oil and mud slick in yet another area rich in wildlife ;

It's just a good job the DeeepWater horizon oil clean up experts were on hand as a team got scambled to deal with this new mess.

But what is it, how many of these abandoned wells are there out there that are apparently a hazard to shipping and wildlife, has exploration and pillaging of the earths resources resulted in a time bomb that can go off at any time and destroy the enviroment we live in.

I hate to sound so much like a thinking Man in this country as it is politically incorrect, but I have a question.

If an accident causes these things to again start gushing, why were they shut down ?

Really, if production was low and they were whining about it, think about BP's folly, they wanted more oil, now we got it. I swear, the world makes less and less sense to me every year. Whine about costs ? A low producing well can be operated most likely by two people. The tankers just come less frequently.

And the world has been after oil for at least a half a century, has technology gotten that much better all the sudden ? I think not. I think we are being manipulated, and I await their next move to get a bit closer to the truth. But then the updates and details might not come out for another half a century.

In other words, I smell a rat.
