79' oil spill?
 

got this in an email today. I was too young to remember this,but it has a lot of similarities of today. Dont care for the negative connotation of the oilfield industry in this story,but seems like someone could come up with a faster fix in 30 years. http://www.wimp.com/oilspills/

difference was location


marsh is not as easy to clean as beach

:shaking::shaking::shaking::shaking::shaking:

O LORD HERE WE GO........

I said this 1000 time already............I have posted info about the 79 oil leak...many times........
This is the same thing...... Will have the same out come..........An next time it will be talked about is when we have another oil spill.....
This is not Alaska.....Its the warm gulf which eats oil.....
This BP spill is one thing and one thing only...... Media Superbowl

I never argued any of that w. All I said was that the clean up is different

The Ixtoc disaster affected 162 miles of Texas coastline and 1,421 birds were found with oiled feathers and feet, according to the NOAA. The U.S. commercial fishing industry was negligibly affected by the earlier spill, according to a report by the Bureau of Land Management. Conversely, some 25 percent of the Gulf has been closed to fishermen due to the BP spill.
The Ixtoc spill did cause Texas tourism to take a hit, however. The BLM estimated a seven to 10 percent decrease, while local officials claimed a 60 percent hit. U.S. businesses sued Mexico for more than $300 million in damages, but Mexico claimed sovereign immunity and refused to pay.
The effects to Texas were mitigated, however, because officials had two months to prepare boom and barrier islands before the oil hit.





neg·li·gi·ble-Not significant or important enough to be worth considering; trifling.

Congrats on copying and pasting


Now back to my point the spill did not hit our coast, a very fragile coast.

OK Back to my argument 79 spill did affect some inland marsh land...now explain to me fragile? Let me here some LSU Grad talk on the two marshes.... dont say we had a hurricane or crap like that..... State some Facts from 79 today in both areas..........


Just two weeks ago you was talking about the fishing impact and dead zones....etc...? guess what we dont have 162 miles of land with oil... We have less than 50miles....

Just quit it...... Just admit this will all play out and be forgotten in a few months........:D

Right. There will be no effects come august.

Like i've said from the beginning, I know about oil and marsh grass. That is what I have experience in.

When did I talk about dead zones? Maybe you thought I did. But I don't remember this

like I've told you. My only arguement with you is that this will not be forgotten by august like you claim.

Hell. It could very well still be leaking by augusy

It probably will be still leaking by August....but right now almost all the fishing inland has been opened back up....lots of offshore areas are open back up...... what oil was in the marsh has just about all cleaned up...were ahead of sked.....
i will go post your comments here shortly...:D

Right w. Your right

I should have just not gone go college. That way I could work on a rig and become an expert at Louisiana coastal ecology and copying and pasting

you know more than him???

"Crude is the least of the problem," says Dr. Paul Sammarco, a researcher at the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium, who has performed research on the effects of oil spills. If contained and removed in time it usually leaves no lasting impact on marshes. But other petrochemicals likely to have been loosed by Katrina -- refined products like diesel or fuel oil or gasoline -- are much more toxic to wetlands, he says. Should large amounts of those settle into marshes and other lowland areas, "they are much more difficult to deal with

:rotfl:

He isn't saying crude oil is safe for vegetation. He is saying it's not the worst. Which I have said.

Please stop with the copy paste. We are all glad you have learned to do this through lsuE correspondence courses

And that article is from 2005 after Katrina. Completly different problem.

Suprised you don't have to know dates in the oil biz

Please copy and paste some relevant articles

Yak EM was just introduced on ........... Oil Marsh Grass Pro Staff

yak you could hang that in your office!!

Yak em.....really you said that??

So oil from Katrina was not from the Gulf Platforms??? So does it matter if Oil is Oil.... NO Oil from yesterday is the same oil from tomorrow..dont matter.........Your just trying to make a media deal dude...... Get over it..your marsh with oil...will be just as healthy as ever once the oil is cleaned or removed....it will be back like nothing happened.....

Man you should of got a Degree in Trees in Alaska....Really use your brain.

I agree it will be fine and have been saying that you idiot.

Just not by august

That's all you got? Where are my posts about this fish kill?


And where did I say this was the end of the world?

Yak em.........Did you write this??

Yawn

Your efforts at insulting are getting More and more futile every day




(side note. W, futile is similar to the word weak)


Or as you would say

futil is symalar two the werd week

And FYI. I ignore anything that refers to going green because all that green is is liberal democrats making up stuff to make money


That's all that green is

Check out these reactions *****

Life is not always fair but why take life away when the end may be so near? the earth is greatly being affected daily. even though most parts of the world have not been directly affected, sooner or later we will be affected by the oil spill. i am in Belize and thanks to this oil spill, my barrier reef is in great danger. we need to realize that saving our planet should be one of our greatest priority. Working together and encouraging others, maybe we can actually change the situation. people need to realize that this crisis has nothing to do with politics and leading parties since they are not the ones causing the problem right now. sooner or later a disaster was bound to happen because of our high demands for the constant need of oil. we need to make a stand for ourselves because we too are in great danger now because of simple little mistakes like this broken oil well. take a look at the pictures, what fault do the poor animals have? they are paying with their lives just for us to get the oil we need to power our appliances. is all that really fair?

This is so dumb! BP needs to clean this @#$% up! Everything is dieing, and is that a good thing? NO! What happens if this stops the current down south? Boom we have an ice age. It isn't fair. And if this spreads through most of the ocean everything dies and it affects our air water weather and everything. This is bull@#$% and needs to be cleaned up. I hope there are huge hurricanes, that'll pick it right up out of the ocean.

Time to go back to horse and buggies to get from point A to point B. Or, we could break out bikes. This crisis is so horrible for everyone. If we all just take a moment to evaluate our own oil consumption maybe we can stop further needs to drill elsewhere.

I hate stupid people

I hate when 2 people argue non stop.
Not like either of you know what thats like.

The ecological problems that this has caused will seem really minor in the long run compared to what the federal government will do to the U.S. oil industry and the South in general when this is all said and done.

:flagUS::cheers::churn::amen::fireworks:

Just curious. How many barrels if water are in the GOM vs the bbl of oil? It could help a lot of folks with perspectives on how bad it is or isn't. I'd really like to know to settle my curiousity.
