you are wasting your time duck. he works for the oil company. and this may come as a shocker: he's on their side! but i'm not. and neither are the people in my area right now. deep drilling needs to be banned. end of story. with the stakes THIS high. and the losses this large. its simply not worth it. i find it hard to believe, there isnt enough oil within SAFE reaches. if there really isnt any more shallow oil, we need to use alternative energy technology, maybe even nuclear. its no secret that oil companies buy up- then suppress alternative energy companies. simply buy them up, then fail to produce anything, keeping us all dependent on them. omega3 was the guy who came up with the concrete tophat idea#2. after doing it once and needing a back up plan, he said " make another one"before working in deep drilling, he was strip mining the amazon,,(we all need minerals) he plans to move into the chinese -prisoner body parts broker career after that(we all need parts eventually right?) just because we need something, doesnt justify going to ANY extents to get it.) omega3 really is pissed off because his retirement is falling in value by the second. he claims to have sold it all at the beginning of all this. how convenient. i , for one aint buying it. thats why he's so pissed off every time someone bad mouths the oil company. - it actually costs him money. i for one am boycotting bp for life. and i'm not the only one. its true: i need oil products. also true: there are other oil companies. not all oil is drilled in risky ways. maybe we need to figure out who's doing what, and buy accordingly. example: i buy eggs that are cage free chickens. they cost a little more, but i can afford it, and i like them better. so maybe a similar decision is in order for oil choices. of course we would need some sort of verification, since oil companies have no morals . just pure greed.
