1. Usually they pump seawater back into these holes

to keep pressure up and get the oil. I wonder what happens when the pressure in the oil patch drops?

Probably nothing, it's to far down. Just a thought.

2. I don't know, but I was horrified by the hearings...
Further explanation of who was getting whom to perform what function, then, a concluding form Thom Hartmann (who usually has cogent thought on everything)really nailed it...

Who are the executives who were coming to celebrate the safety record that day?
Was the work hastily completed because of their pending visit?
Why haven't we heard about the other workers totally 11 of them?
What about the escape pod that workers could jump in, in the event of a pending explosion? It may have been found and there may be some nasty results.
AND... what about the inability to plug the hole with mud before capping it? Why did it appear that the mud plug sequence was replaced by simply trying to cap it, thus causing a methane bubble to form that went BOOM?

I would love to see someone report on this!

4. What's with the color shifts in the plume?
Different material? Natural Gas or Methane, then oil, shifting around?

5. That was my thought.
natural gas, the same "bubbles" of "back pressure" that may have caused the explosion.

Even if there was a way to put a new well head on this hole, chances are high that another explosion like the one that destroyed the rig will happen.

8. That well is finished, if they do put a new well head on it, it will only be to
facilitate plugging it permananently. And not really out of any sense of altruism, the underground part of a producing well is a fairly complicated system to maximally produce from a given reservoir and prevent premature damge to the reservoir. They will plug it and start over.

6. Natural gas
snip

it was described to me to be either the largest or the second largest oil deposit ever found. It is mostly a natural gas deposit. That is another reason not to blast too willy nilly there. The natural gas that could be released is really way beyond the oil in quantity. It is like 10,000 times the oil in the deposit.

7. The release of natural gas was brought on by the release of...
un-natural gas. The bullshit preventer in Washington was a complete failure. Proper regulation out the window to the highest "energy company" bidder, ever ready with the campaign dollars to plug any leak, anytime, anywhere. "Drill Baby Drill" won't help the Everglades which has already been under attack for decades by other unnatural forces. The Keys trashed, South Beach's soft snowy white sand threatened, by the black death. An Unnatural calamity.

The Bullshit Preventer = The Main Stream Media

Totally failing again and again...

failing to report the facts instead of the "opinions".

opinions owned by the same forces that gave us the "Blow Out Preventers"! = The Bullshitters in chief

The New Deal Turned Raw Deal in 2001...
