If I was BP I would set up some check in stations all over the gulf and put a bounty on the oil.
Say $1.50 per gallon or more.
Bet the crap would be cleaned up in no time!
"A new team from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute came in with even higher estimates, ranging from 1 million gallons a day to 2.1 million gallons. If the high end is true, that means nearly 107 million gallons have spilled since April 20."

None of the gubbment's actions are making sense. I fully expected this to be a nothing event that would be hyped all the way to new taxes and crippling legislation... The opposite is happening. This event is quickly becoming an ELE for much of the area all while gubbment isn't flooding the area with 24/7 hype.. I don't know what is going on but I'm beginning to become nervous. I'm hearing chatter about mandatory evacuations...

we've had winds out of the south several days now and i still don't smell anything strong 250 miles inland, maybe a light hint, but nothing obvious...... we do have a plant in town that paints steel containers and i can often smell them, it smells like they use an epoxy based paint, in mst places they would be shut down imediately by the EPA for that but here, they are just happy to have the jobs....
yes there is some strange stuff going on, i am hearing that BP is privately preventing non press people from going into alot of areas... some of the areas only have one road in and out. they are being "guarded" by private BP cops, and the real Cops are having to escort press people to get out to them...
i am tempted to go down find out myself if theres private security guards blocking entrance to Public areas without a state of emergency being declared, if so it might make for an interesting law suit...
i have a good friend who is press and he's headed down in couple for days to investigate that...

this is not the same as the rumors i have heard tho, the rumor i've heard is that they are guarding bridges to some areas/ islands/peninsulas entirely, not just keeping people from talking to eh workers...
supposedly people are not being allowed to even visit their own family if they don't live in the specified area...

Still leaked after the first relief well was drilled......
Lasted 10 months.
So we're screwed!
If this happens we're screwed for sure!
Oil Volcano Pressure Too Strong For Containment Dr. James P. Wickstrom 6-9-10
It has been estimated by experts that the pressure which blows the oil into the Gulf waters is estimated to be between 20,000 and 70,000 PSI (pounds per square inch). Impossible to control.
What US Scientists Are Forbidden To Tell The Public About The Gulf
What you are about to read, is what the scientists in the United States are not allowed to tell you in great fear of the Obama administration.
They are under the threat of severe repercussions to the max.. Scientists confirming these findings cannot be named due to the above, but what they believe, they want to be known by all.
Take a U. S. map, lay it flat and measure inland just the minimum 50 miles of total destruction all around the Gulf of Mexico as to what you will read below.
The carnage to the United States is so staggering, it will take your breathe away.
Should what the scientists who are trying to warn everyone about be even close to being true... all of Florida will be completely destroyed as will everyone and everything on it.
You decide!! Everyone has the right to read what I have just written in this article, as well as to what is written below by the scientists who the Obama administration and BP are trying to shut up.
The estimated super high pressure release of oil from under the earth's crust is between 80,000 to 100,000 barrels per day.
The flow of oil and toxic gases is bringing up with it... rocks and sand which causes the flow to create a sandblasting effect on the remaining well head device currently somewhat restricting the flow, as well as the drilled hole itself.
As the well head becomes worn it enlarges the passageway allowing an ever-increasing flow. Even if some device could be placed onto the existing wellhead, it would not be able to shut off the flow, because what remains of the existing wellhead would not be able to contain the pressure.
The well head piping is originally about 2 inches thick. It is now likely to be less than 1 inch thick, and thinning by each passing moment. The oil has now reached the Gulf Stream and is entering the Oceanic current which is at least four times stronger than the current in the Gulf, which will carry it throughout the world within 18 months.
The oil along with the gasses, including benzene and many other toxins, is deleting the oxygen in the water. This is killing all life in the ocean. Along with the oil along the shores, there will be many dead fish, etc. that will have to be gathered and disposed of.
SUMMARY OF EXPECTATIONS
At some point the drilled hole in the earth will enlarge itself beneath the wellhead to weaken the area the wellhead rests upon. The intense pressure will then push the wellhead off the hole allowing a direct unrestricted flow of oil, etc.
The hole will continue to increase in size allowing more and more oil to rise into the Gulf. After several billion barrels of oil have been released, the pressure within the massive cavity five miles beneath the ocean floor will begin to normalize.
This will allow the water, under the intense pressure at 1 mile deep, to be forced into the hole and the cavity where the oil was. The temperature at that depth is near 400 degrees, possibly more.
The water will be vaporized and turned into steam, creating an enormous amount of force, lifting the Gulf floor. It is difficult to know how much water will go down to the core and therefore, its not possible to fully calculate the rise of the floor.
The tsunami wave this will create will be anywhere from 20 to 80 feet high, possibly more. Then the floor will fall into the now vacant chamber. This is how nature will seal the hole.
Depending on the height of the tsunami, the ocean debris, oil, and existing structures that will be washed away on shore and inland, will leave the area from 50 to 200 miles inland devoid of life. Even if the debris is cleaned up, the contaminants that will be in the ground and water supply will prohibit re-population of these areas for an unknown number of years.

Dr. James P. Wickstrom? A number of years ago in Wisconsin we had a guy with that name run for the U.S. Senate. He was a flat out lunatic and was pretty much dismissed as a joke. No idea if it's the same guy but if so I wouldn't put too much stock into what he says, he's nuts.
