Here's a theory..as everyone seems to be shocked at the amount of oil and devastation it is causing ..maybe we are missing the bigger picture.

What if all this is an elaborate plot to make sure off shore drilling doesn't happen around America for 50 more yrs or so.

This disaster could have been planned to scare the public. I don't see how CNN showed that screenshot accidentally which got evryone excited.

My personal opinion is powers to be found a scapegoat company to take the fall and BP being BP are just trying to salvage a profit out of the situation.

I don't know why the Americna government are not acting quickly to this situation as all other oil spills in the past have been cleaned as quick possible.

Let me know what you think about the idea of the "power of fear thru propagandist disasters" ...

either way it you believe this or not the situation looks dire or maybe there's something were missing..

I think you're on to something here.

It's hard to believe the stupidity and inaction... unless there is a reason.

It is time that we developed an alternative source of energy.
There are several "out there".
They have been suppressed for a 100 years.

If this is propaganda to stop the drilling, then maybe it will have a good outcome.
If this is propaganda, that means that it was done deliberately.

Only if this is the catalyst for change that makes all oil production illegal globally and brings us into a new world of clean alternative energy will I bless the day this disaster happened. But.. it has to be total. There must not be not one oil rig operational left anywhere on the planet.

For sure if they wanted to solve the problem they could. If this "event" wasn't serving a purpose, it would be fixed immediately. It may be an event for any number of reasons, not just one. Often events service multiple purposes. They can be using it as leverage against congress. Not only do they not plug the hole but it could mean they could create more of the same problem if congress should consider not cooperating. Maybe they're also cultivating fear in more offshore as you suggest. One way or another it's leverage.
