BP, BP apologists and bootlickers...your doom is at hand

one manatee turns up dead as a result of oil and BP is officially trashed as a company still a lot of respect down along the Louisiana coast but as its impacting more states the pressure will ramp up on BP.

Exxon agrees with you.

LULZ.

But transocean could NEVER make it through a spill of this magnitude, right?

Transocean will survive, them and Diamond offshore are two of the few American companies that have massive deepwater drill ships that can be used around the world. If they cant drill here they will just float across the pond and drill elsewhere

In the very near future... when the bald eagles that nest in marshes along the Gulf Coast... start dropping out of the sky from eating oiled fish... THEN this thing will have the "poster child" that makes it a NATIONAL TRAGEDY and not just another Louisiana/Gulf Coast/Southern/Somebody Else's disaster.

Bald Eagles are nesting in the marshes of Louisiana?

one day driving home from work when I lived in Bay Saint Louis, there was a bald eagle on the side of the road eating roadkill there.

I'd never seen one that close before, I almost hit it. It was beautiful.

Bald eagles are very plentiful in South LA........they nest in trees, in the marsh and feed highly on fish. Being oportunistic feeders they often eat carrion. Floating dead fish make up a decent portion of their diet.

Anyone who has spent any amount of time in South La. would know this. Of course we could stop all drilling while we study it.

I know eagles are in the marshes in the winter. We will be good to go by the winter. Clean up will be in good shape by the winter. In the mean time drill on and MYM so we can have resources to enjoy the Eagles upon their return.

Exxon disaster didn't have near the effects that this one will have. Can't compare the two IMHO.

Clarification please. Are the effects you mention the effects on the environment or on the economy?

BP is already done as a company. Its over for them. They will at the least have to change the name.

I see a criminal investigation coming from the Justice Dept. BP is going down.

BP as an organization is out of touch with reality. This is a direct result of leadership, or lack thereof. It is my opinion that BP thinks it will eventually cap this well, clean some oil off the beaches, then litigate this like Exxon. However, I believe we are about to see the oil/oil service companies in general go through what the I-banks went through. There will be failures and BP is at the top of the list. Valdez comparisons are silly at this point. That said, although the process will be longer then the quick failures of I-banks, eventually those left standing will be the better for it. Also, this officially ends the Palin era, which is nice. Lastly, once cooler heads prevail, shallow water drilling off the East coast and California will be approved.
