According to this...... seawifs.gsfc.nasa.gov...

62 million gallons a year are leaked into our Oceans via nature. I do not know if a natural direct leak has ever been recorded or even theorized. But it could happen.

And if it was a large fissure, it could not be blocked.

well that particular oil well was 1 mile deep and 5 miles under the crust.
not much chance of it leaking out barring the kind of upheaval that would leave it as the least of our problems


It would not take an upheaval. It would just take a crack.

New fault lines form from time to time. And old ones become dormant
All it would take is just a new fault line forming through an oil deposit.

At 15,000 PSI, once a flow starts, it will widen the channel by erosion/etching.

Look where the San Andreas Fault comes to the surface. That crack you see at the top, goes all the way down. If there was an oil deposit at the bottom, it would come right up.

That is why the seeps off the coast of California are just slow seeps now. They are in fractured ground (along the San Andreas). They have already bled out all the pressure. I wonder what happened when the fault lines going through those areas first formed. I can guaranty that it wasn’t a slow seep after the first earthquakes.

The Gulf of Mexico is not very active (earthquake wise). The oil rich areas are on one solid plate. If we had a large new fault cut through the Gulf, then we would have more oil coming out from that crack, than we even dreamed existed..



kinda like asking if plutonium could refine itself in a volcano and then go critical. Well yeah anything could happen. But the odds are really long...


Uh....... not that long. It has already happened in places.
And you you don't need Pu, all you need is uranium.

There would be no one to blame, nature is nature, when my cat eats a mouse, I don't expect my cat to pay the mouses' family compensation. Or because it my cat do I have to pay and now feed a family of mice? I don't think so because its a part of nature. We live in a world where those that need not to blame are blamed and those that should go to jail, directly to jail, and not collect $200, go scott free. So IMO BP, the government, the President, BP's parent companies, and those that over looked this atrocity from the beginning should be held responsible.

If this was nature, would we even be concerned, we would expect nature to take care of itself, it can't because it wasn't the cause.

Peace to you...
