Drill more oil wells to protect the oceans?

Re: Drill more oil wells to protect the oceans?

I've seen how oil floats on water. It just sits there, it doesn't get mixed up, it just floats on top. How hard can it be to just scoop it into barrels? Since it's shooting out of those holes and floating up, you save having to pump it.

Well, this idea has been postulated by Creation Scientists before, but the problem, for all Atlantic oilfields at least, is that the Gulf Stream throws the oil off course in the direction of Europe, and all of it would end up, of all countries, in Godless Eskimo Iceland. If we'd want to deny anyone access to large sums of money, it would be those fish-slurping gibbering eskimoes, won't you agree?

Liberals are making a big deal out of this because they hate oil companies out of spite.

Exactly. Liberalism and other forms of communism are driven by jealousy towards harder working, and therefore richer, people. By coveting that what God gave to another person, they commit a grave sin:

Exodus 20:17:
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

If anyone needs proof that Jesus is not a socialist, see the above. Some peopel are rich, others aren't. Deal with it.

I don't get why they don't just scoop up the oil and make it into gas. I mean, that's what the whole point of drilling for oil is, right, to make gas?

Re: Another risk

I simply cannot see what all the moaning and whining is about. The Lord will see that absolutely no one suffers. The bounty of the oceans, fish, dugongs, birds, herbs, trees and flowers, will be ours to exploit as before.

All the life that is there will, by the Grace of God, get used to the oil and simply continue.

It is a biblical fact that putting animals near things changes their characteristics:

Ge:30:36: And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
Ge:30:37: And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chesnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
Ge:30:38: And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
Ge:30:39: And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
Ge:30:40: And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle.
Ge:30:41: And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
Ge:30:42: But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
Ge:30:43: And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.

Another risk

I was watching them plug the oil leak on CNN today and they mentioned how many other wells need to be drilled into this oil field to release the pressure on the plug. How many wells can they drill before the whole thing collapses and releases its oil into the ocean? Now I'm wondering just how many of these oil pockets are threatening the world's oceans and how fast we could possibly drill them all to prevent future disasters like this one?

One risk this 'foreign' oil company isn't telling us about. Sure, a little oil, a million gallons or so per day, is leaking out. Does anyone think about what is filling the gap? What about the water that is leaking back into the hole and being flushed down the pillars that hold up the earth Job (9:6)? Is this going to eventually drain the Gulf of Mexicans

Re: Drill more oil wells to protect the oceans?

I called up one of my Young Earth Geology professors to discuss the supposed "oil leak" in the Gulf of Mexico. We quickly decided that the problem is really that there are not enough wells already in place.

We went through some calculations, and it is apparent that if we were to place oil wells on a half-mile square grid above each major oil-bearing unit, it would be perfectly fine if about every fourth or fifth well blew out. Just pump harder on the adjacent wells, and you really don't have a problem.

So if liebrals are going to whine about supposed ecological disasters, they have only themselves to blame for standing in the way of there being more wells already in place. Typical.

Leave it to Brother James to clear up the confusion.

I am so thankful he is a member here.

Re: Drill more oil wells to protect the oceans?

I am not sure I see a problem here.

They are in the middle of the gulf of messico, right? Water, they are taking oil out of the gulf. What is a little spillage. You have to break a few eggs to make an omlete.

My concern is the expense BP is being subject to. It is not their oil but they are being expected to clean it up. They were not even compensated previously for pumping it out of the water. Why aren't all the messicans do something. Can't they plug the pipes with them?

I say drill more wells, make oil products cheaper for me.
