THE OIL HAS STOPPED!

If the cap fits wear it. After 86 days, BP has finally put an end to the disastrous oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico. Oil has reached the shores of Louisiana, Alabama, and the coast of Cocoa Beach, FL. The oil stopped flowing at around 2:25 p.m. today. The valve is sealed like a soda bottle, according to the New York Times. A variety of options are available at this point, the valve could be removed to reclaim all the oil, they could control the valve- leave it open and then close it during hurricanes or the could leave the wells closed permanently. Which one do you think they should do?

In all honesty, they probably will not do the right thing and leave the valve closed. They will probably try to control it to reclaim oil and then close it during hurricanes. Why? Because it would loose them too much money. This is what will happen. BP will say that they have attempted to control the situation, and will continue to let the oil flow into a containment center, and then when they attempt to turn it off during the hurricane. Almost mysteriously, something moronic will happen- a bolt will pop off, there will be a drainage leak, or the mechanics will realize that they forgot to install the off button.

BP: Lie to Me

I reported earlier that BP was not interested in letting the general media access the Gulf of Mexico area. But BP has hired their own reporters, Tom Seslar and Paula Kolmar to put a positive spin on the Gulf situation. Kolmar describes the ships attempting to stop the flow of oil as "a ballet at sea as mesmerizing as any performance in a concert hall, and worthy of an audience in its own right" in a May 28th blog post. Seslar is on the same B.S. (it must be in the water), he tells in his June 15th blog post, "Instead of cowboys vs. sheepherders or grain farmers, now it was Louisiana shrimpers vs. oilmen fighting over the same watery territory." I guess that's what PR is for? Actually, I have no idea what PR is for. I'm so glad I became a journalist in pursuit of the truth.

The truth is that BP is sponsoring oil spill clean-ups,that's the least that they could do. After watching the video below, I think they want a cookie and a blow-job for it. But honestly, what will a beach clean-up really do? We will be cleaning for a lifetime if the oil remains in the Gulf. Their whole plan is flawed. BP is trying to put a band-aid to cover a heart attack. It just won't work!

We need a bypass over here.

Shalom!

Hey guys--

Thanks for stopping by the Greedie Green! This blog was inspired by the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. I grew up in Southwest Florida, right on the Gulf of Mexico. We've been hit by category 4 hurricanes, floods and other natural disasters. The 941 is pretty resilient. But seeing BP's misuse of our Earth and the disrespect that they have had for other living organisms has frustrated me. I've decided to create this blog in hopes that others will get upset as well, and we can initiate a change fueled by mad rage. You can call me a hippie and a tree hugger, but I'd prefer that you call me an Earth-saver. It's a little more noble. Earth is my home, and I don't take too kindly to disrespectful intruders. Please continue to check back in and get angry, I desperately want you to feel something, make your own decisions, be inspired and hopefully make a change.

For right now, check out Bill Nye talking about the Oil Spill on CNN.
