Oil Spill Information?
I need some major help for my broadcast elective. I’m doing a piece on the oil spill in the gulf and need some information. Here’s a few things but whatever you know I’d LOVE to hear. Thanks :)
1. When did the oil rig 1st explode and how much oil leaked out initially?
2. What is the lowest and highest average of oil that has leaked from the rig?
3. What were all the possibilities that you know of that they (gov., BP, clean up recruits) thought of to fix the problem of the oil spill?
4. When was the cap put on and how much oil is leaking now?
5. Did Bonnie harm, help, or do both to our coast and if so what?
6. What places have seen tar balls in the area?
7. How long will estimated clean up be?
8. Who’s responsible for the oil spill?
Again thanks :)

Why do Republicans keep lying about BP oil spill?

MYTH: Obama waited weeks before responding to the oil spill

REALITY: Timeline of events indicates Obama administration responded almost immediately to the spill. The Coast Guard began responding to the spill hours after the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded at 10 p.m. on April 20. Obama was briefed on the incident and dispatched officials to the region the next day.

http://abcnews.go.com/WN/oil-rig-explosion-drilling-rig-off-louisiana-coast/story?id=10437155

MYTH: BP was only drilling "out there" because environmentalists and the federal government "made them" do it

FACT: MMS said "remarkable increase" in deep-water drilling due in part to "finding of reservoirs with high production wells." http://www.gomr.mms.gov/homepg/offshore/deepwtr.html

FACT: Bush MMS reported that the "best source of new domestic energy resources lies in the deep water Gulf of Mexico." http://www.mms.gov/Assets/PressConference11152004/MSGlossySingle_110404.pdf

FACT: NY Times reported BP discovery of "giant oil field" in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico indicated area was "probably the most promising area in United States-controlled territory." http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/03/business/global/03oil.html?_r=1

MYTH: Obama, unlike Bush, "was off on vacation" during crisis

REALITY: Bush vacationed during the aftermath of Katrina

In the two months after Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast on August 29, 2005, Bush reportedly made at least three separate weekend trips to the presidential retreat at Camp David. http://articles.latimes.com/2005/sep/30/nation/na-roberts30/3

MYTH: Obama is the "single largest recipient of BP cash"

FACT: Donations from BP’s PAC and its employees represent 0.01 percent of Obama’s total presidential fundraising. http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/summary.php?cycle=2008&cid=N00009638

MYTH: Obama admin turned down foreign assistance in dealing with oil cleanup

REALITY: International assistance is part of Gulf spill response. In a June 15 press release, the Deepwater Horizon Incident Joint Information Center stated, "Currently, 15 foreign-flagged vessels are involved in the largest response to an oil spill in U.S. history." http://www.deepwaterhorizonresponse.com/go/doc/2931/660195/

MYTH: Obama admin unreasonably delayed purchase of Maine company’s oil boom

REALITY: Packgen had not previously manufactured boom, reportedly failed "initial quality control test." http://www.wcsh6.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=118527&catid=2

FACT: Boom reportedly failed "an initial quality test." http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2010/06/engineering-professor-gives-maine-boom-thumbs-up.html

MYTH: Obama unnecessarily delayed berm plan

REALITY: Army Corps of Engineers studied plan as required by law and expressed concerns over proposal. http://www.sfexaminer.com/economy/la-ag-state-will-work-protect-coastal-wetlands-x2014-regardless-of-whether-the-feds-approve-94755524.html
"Oh, wow: ABC news and the NYTimes. Great sources. Got anything from the Huffington Post while you’re at it?"

I’m sorry that you only believe the information that comes from Fox "News" and right-wind pundits.
This list is nothing, I couldn’t even post everything because the links are now limited to 10 and I had over 20 that I wanted to post.

Why do liberals refuse to pay compensation to the victims of the oil spill?

Hey, libs, elections have consequences. Why do think that the victims of the oil spill will let US taxpayers including you off the hook?

Obama is a moron he failed to prevent the explosion on the rig despite he keeps an army of inspectors on taxpayers payroll and and he does not know what to do about oil spill and taxpayers are on the hook for his incompetence. You elected him, you will now pay. Still like your first this first that administration?

How will the oil spill affect hurricanes?

So I’m in Florida, hurricanes and the oil spill both concern me quite a bit. I was wondering if anyone knows how the oil spill may affect hurricanes that go through it? I know they are affected by the temperature of the water but I’m not sure if something like oil being on the water will affect them.
Just curious! Thanks for any response~
I just noticed that there are a lot of questions like mine, and I feel a little embarrassed to be asking again. ._.
