Pay Nothing? You are joking right? You must be.

I think BP should have to pay at minimum $500 Billion in clean up and relocation fees.

You are aware that Exxon wormed out of paying US$5 billion in compensation after Exxon Valdez disaster. I say pay nothing.

Relocating 25 million people is a tough task. Luckily most of your major cities have seen a sharp decline in population. I'm sure there is a way to do it. It won't be easy but I think BP should have to pay at minimum $500 Billion in clean up and relocation fees. The poor children that will be affected by this is sad. I would prefer that they lived in Denver or Baltimore or Detroit then breathe in the toxic air down there.

Miscarriages will be at an all time high as well in the future in the affected areas.

People in Florida all the way to LA need to honestly start contimplating about relocating to somewhere else in the USA. It is unsafe.

25 million people need to relocate you say?

That's roughly 8 million people shy of the total population of Canada.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has began round-the-clock air monitoring in Gulf coastal areas and posting online hourly readings for ozone and tiny particles such as soot. Both can cause respiratory problems and are particuarly aggravating for people with chronic conditions such as asthma.

Crude oil emits volatile organic compounds that react with nitrogen oxides to produce ozone. Fires being set by the Coast Guard to burn off oil on the water's surface would produce sooty, acrid smoke.

"We don't know what the impacts are going to be yet," said Dave Bary, an EPA spokesman in Dallas. "We don't know in what direction this oil will go."

The potential for unhealthy air quality depends on a variety of factors, particularly the speed and direction of winds that could disperse fumes and determine where they go, said Jonathan Ward, an environmental toxicology professor at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.

With the leaky Gulf well some 50 miles offshore, Ward said much of the oil vapor likely wouldn't reach land, although the potential for air pollution from the slick will remain as long as the leak continues.

Public health agencies in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi advised people near the coast who experience nausea, headaches or other smell-related ailments to stay inside, turn on air conditioners and avoid exerting themselves outdoors.

Re: Oil leak in Gulf of Mexico off coast of LA

the oil seems to be the least of the problems rigth now. Toxic gases have escaped as well such as Benzene, Hydrogen Sulfide, as well as other toxic chemicals. Levels of Benzene in the air are at unprecedentede levels. Can cause acute myelogenous leukemia, lymphatic system cancers, and other cancers related to blood. The whole population around the volcano is at risk . From LA to Florida we will see in the future incresed rates of sickness and death because the volcano is burping out these chemicals as well as oil.

Miscarriages will be at an all time high as well in the future in the affected areas.

People in Florida all the way to LA need to honestly start contimplating about relocating to somewhere else in the USA. It is unsafe.



It is estimated that 4 million barrels per day are pumping into the gulf. BP was drilling at 30,000ft below the sea and hit a major pocket that ruptured all the safety valves. It is estimated that the back pressure was around 20,000psi. This situation is so fucked up it is honeslty beyond comprehension.

Operation Gardenplot may take effect soon

BP should throw a wedding ring at the leak then it'll stop putting out.

This isn't a weather issue. This isn't a natural disaster.

Tell that to us Floridians by the end of this summer.

yeah BP is almost half american with 40% of shareholders US citizens but i still say F*ck BP. its there GREED that got us into this mess...

Re: Oil leak in Gulf of Mexico off coast of LA

They're a multi-national company doing business over the entire globe. The fact that the company was formed in Britain at the beginning of the 20th century is pretty irrelevant now.

Taking your resources? I don't know whether to laugh or cry at that one

I didn't write it, I was just showing someone's (who's worked in the oil industry for a major oil company for all his life) opinion about the matter. Laugh/cry all you want, but those resources are in US territory.
