Gulf Oil Spill-Gutsy Solution Restores Environment in Just Six Weeks

Big apple, and Philly residents, keep an eye on this.

Gulf oil spill worsens -- but what about the safety of gas fracking?
June 18, 2010 | 2:13 am

"Coincidentally, a month before the blowout of the gulf oil well, Energy and Environment Daily, an independent publication, published a draft of proposed language to exempt fracking from chemical disclosure rules in pending Senate energy and climate legislation. The primary author? BP America Inc. "

Gas companies are seeking drilling rights to the vast Marcellus Shale Field, dubbed “the Saudia Arabia of natural gas” below New York and Pennsylvania. But the field sits beneath the last unfiltered watershed in the U.S. serving tens of millions of residents of New York City, Philadelphia and the surrounding area.

Quote from Scataphagos:

Anyone besides me consider the possibility that Obama is dragging his feet INTENTIONALLY? He wants this disaster to be as large as possible to justify his Cap 'n Tax legislation?

How would he use this to promote that legislation?

Pass the Cap n' Tax legislation to punish the consumption of oil and promote irrational "green energy" alternatives?.. Along with having America pay a $Trillion or so to Socialist countries under same lame guise?

It's not a stretch... he already mentioned it in his Oval Office address.
 
Quote from morganist:

It makes you think why they are not doing it. Perhaps they do not have enough of them. Perhaps they want the cost to be high so they can make money from BP by going short. Not much makes sense nowadays with government decisions.

Because doing a little research on the web will show you why it is not practical. Sounds good, but the open ocean is not a laboratory beaker. There are multiple things that have to be done to sustain them.
