Lies and More Lies about Oil Spill

In my last post I mentioned 290,000 gallons of oil spilled into the ocean, but time to revise that naivity with the truth that has now come out. Based upon new calculations this is epic! Now it’s said that there are over 200,000 gallons per day which means this will hit the size of the Exxon disaster in less than 60 days. we are talking about June 21. Over 25million birds and other animals are now at risk.

Officials said that before the explosion there were 700,000 gallons of diesel fuel on board the semi-submersible platform and it had been drilling 8,000 barrels, or 336,000 gallons, of oil a day.

Oil Spill: 42 thousand gallons a day

Just south of Mississippi there is an oil spill that is spewing out thousands of gallons of oil into the ocean, killing fish, and ocean creatures as it goes. It is now at least a mile long. When will we learn to start conserving our resources and safeguards to prevent, or at least contain such a thing. The solution is weeks away. Current thought and discussion revolves around how to save commercial fisheries, leisure areas, etc. Not sure if there is a thought of the irresponsiblity of all of this on wildlife.

Remember when in 1989 the Exxon Valdez spilled over 10.8 million gallons. So far the current disaster has spilled over 290,000 gallons of oil. Even if this spill is not as big as the Exxon spill, it will still have devastating repercussions for the environment.

Wow! That was a 6.9 in Baja that was felt like a 3-4 pointer in the North County San Diego where I am. Ah, I remember the days of one when I was a kid that was slightly greater than this. But not in a long while have we felt the shaking.

So this quake was about .1 percent less than the earthquake in Haiti and we have felt to miles away.

A while back there was a scuffle over a site called adamsblock.com that put up a 24 / 7 vid cam to watch a section of the city where I guess Adam lived. http://www.justin.tv/adamsblock. You can read a full story about this here. Well after a while of the video cam, someone found out who was doing the cams and wanted to take it over and/or stop it, so they basically threatened Adam and since he had posted some real information about himself on his website, well, they found him. And upon finding poor Adam, they made a ruckus like gangstas do so that he would stop the filming.

Watch live video from Adam’s Block (San Francisco) on Justin.tv

This turned into a sensation of a new site, called Ourblock.com which says it is about to launch an effort to have cams all over the country showing all kinds of stuff. What a concept. Not much will happen in my neighborhood, I’m awake at 2am on the internet, and the rest of this town is fast asleep. We don’t have cop cars running here all day long, they are out patrolling the main drags for drunk drivers taking back roads, (that’s how main our drags are here).

I can see merit in this concept. I see it now. But I also see that it can be a problem because gangstas don’t like this kind of thing. Not to mention all the camera hogs. I guess bored old ladys can substitute as cops late at night while everyone else is fast asleep. I guess insomniacs will be deputized to help the cause. It’s seems like some form of reality TV. But the truth of this is that normal citizens might be able to take back the streets. Or will they?
