Re: the BP oil scandal and clean up

[quote=""IndyBrit""]Macabee, Your numbers are way off. For example, this well is about 2,000 bopd (when we send it to the refinery instead of the beach), so it would take only about 40 wells this size to achieve your estimate of our total deepwater capacity. Worldwide, it is beli...

Re: the BP oil scandal and clean up

The whole thing is stupid. Deep water drilling has enough oil supply to meet just 1% of US demand. Instead, too many in the US listen to the ignorant Drill Baby Drillers instead of cutting our gluttonous oil needs by just that very same 1%. Just 1%! The average US car only gets 22.5 miles per gallon...

Re: A Most Excellent Team FF

It's a waste of time to try to reason with someone who says this FF is weak and ineffective but an Aztec FI is "nice" in team games This, even though he's unable to relate an occasion in which he's ever seen anyone ever do one.
