did you happen to read this Utopian??
Halliburton (HAL.N) said on Friday it agreed to buy Boots & Coots (WEL.A), a company that provides pressure control services for oil and gas wells, in a stock and cash deal worth about $240 million.

Jesus H. Christ what a clusterfuck.
Now the big genius idea is to use the Mississippi river to push back the oil slick from landfall?

Um. You fucking geniuses do realize that the entire watershed is in the midst of a serious drought right now, don't you?

Ah fuck it. You've killed off the livelihood of thousands of fishermen and other who depend on the coast, why not fuck the farmers and the municipalities while you're at it.
Ah, well. at least BP saved a bunch on cost-cutting and all that lobbying money that kept them from being more regulated to prevent just such a massive failure.
Oh, and goody! The rig's owner insured the rig for far more than it;s worth, so don't worry about them, so they made some cash out of the spill.

Chart of major oil spills
- good infosequoia
- But their estimate of the Horizon spill is now what they think is spilling PER DAY. So after almost a month, it should be at the bottom of that chart.nuggler
- bottom of that chart. A tonne is 7.3 barrels. http://www.bloomberg…

Someone get bruce willis to assemble a team to send to the Gulf. I think if we get Will Smith and John Travolta onboard, and some sort of huge manned drill to dig to the center of the earth we can get this fixed up real quick.

remember this ?
"The Gulf War oil spill is regarded as the largest oil spill in history, resulting from the 1991 U.S. invasion of Iraq, or the first Gulf War.
It caused considerable damage to wildlife in the Persian Gulf especially in areas surrounding Kuwait and Iraq. Estimates on the volume spilled range from 42[citation needed] to 462 million gallons;[1] the slick reached a maximum size of 101 by 42 miles (4242 square miles) and was 5 inches thick. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the size of the spill, figures place it 5 to 27 times[citation needed] the size (in gallons spilled) of the Exxon Valdez oil spill, and more than twice the size of the 1979 Ixtoc I blow-out in the Gulf of Mexico.
According to a study sponsored by UNESCO, Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and the United States, the spill did little long-term damage. About half the oil evaporated, a million barrels were recovered and 2 million to 3 million barrels washed ashore, mainly in Saudi Arabia.[2]
A May 2010 New York Times article claims that the spill was at 36 billion gallons. This dwarfs all the other estimates aforementioned.[3]"

This sucks. That much oil could have fueled a dozen hummers for 3 or 4... days.Seriously though, depressing at how big this may get if they cant get their crap together.

You would think an Oil Company like BP would have a recovery system in place for a disaster like this, fuck it's not the first time an Oil Rig has sunk is it. But maybe that just to mush to ask.
