IQ doesn't matter IRL (unless you're dumb as a box of rocks). It certainly doesn't matter when I say someone is knowledgeable.
I thought you meant the money board

I don't have to understand all the intricacies to know that if my operations are continually leaking hazardous material into an environmentally sensitive area that I should do a better job in figuring out how to prevent my operations from continuously doing the same thing in the future.
Don't make excuses just because its difficult to manage these operations. They knew that from the beginning. They have the capacity and the financial capital to fix these problems. Period.

research all the natural seepage in the gulf and then come back. yes its always bad when there is a spill but why aren't environmentalist doing anything about natural seepage. start a gofundme or something to build domes over all natural seeps on the ocean floor

Obviously other people are capping wells and not significantly leaking. Cutting corners is the problem
And we have the multiple instances of blatant marsh destruction through illegal dredging and prop washing. That is company policy, not just happenstance. If they know a canal is 3ft deep, and plan to push a barge with a 6ft draft through, that comes from the top.

So you honestly don't think that they just haven't thought of your amazing new suggestion?
It is in a company's best interest to invest millions INTO figuring out and implement things to prevent these types of situations. Because the reality is, it will always cost them more on the back side when paying fines, clean up costs, repairs, etc.

Why is it abandoned if it has oil and gas under enough pressure to leak out?
Tell them I'll take it over if they don't want it.

Thanks, Trump.
In all seriousness, it amazes me that people don't care enough about the environment. That attitude is simply shortsighted and naive.

This logic is so dumb. So because the seafloor naturally leaks oil in some places we shouldn't care about unnatural leakage?
I would be interested to see data surrounding the amount of natural leakage vs unnatural leakage. Seems like a difficult thing to study, so I don't know if it exists.

Offshore seeps. In the Gulf of Mexico, there are more than 600 natural oil seeps that leak between one and five million barrels of oil per year

It is not dumb. Just don't be so dramatic about it is all. If the gulf has leaked oil forever, which it sounds like it has, then there are natural rebuffs to it. There are microbes/bacteria/etc that eat oil in the gulf.
One leaking well is not a big deal if they get on it, it isn't like it is spilling out of control or something.

Thanks for the info.
Huge range on this estimate but the upper end is a significant amount of natural leakage. Higher than I would have imagined. Deepwater horizon leaked an estimated 5MM barrels of oil per Wikipedia.

Do your own test. Get a cup of oil and go pour it in your yard in one spot. Temporarily, the grass will brown because the coating of oil blocks it's natural process. But when it comes back, that spot will be thicker and greener and grow faster than the rest of your yard.

probably not because the hippies don't even know it exists.

Forget fescue, I'm doing this on my tomatoes now and the yield has doubled. Mmm mmm!

Does this mean I won't get my monthly royalty check from Hilcorp Energy? Because I use that royalty check of around $100 to buy weed monthly.
