OP, Thank you for your post. Although, I disagree with some of your conjecture; you thread got me to do some research that resulted in this new ATS thread:
***SECRET BONE CHILLING – EPA Gulf of Mexico LIVE & DEATH Report***
Excerpt: "***GULF OF MEXICO REGIONAL WARNING: Airborne toxins and extremely poisonous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been found in the region by the EPA. The concentrations are 100+ times the maximum safe level for human inhalation. Exposure to these airborne toxins may result in: Respiratory illness, kidney failure, birth defects, brain disorders, incapacitation, and/or death. (Source linked below.)"

Note: a 2nd confirmation source has been found and is documented in the thread.
How can you attribute this disaster on the consumer items I buy

Hey, all...just wanted to throw my 10 cents in here. Just for the record, I AM a geologist. That being said, I'm very, very certain that drilling into a batholith or pluton would almost certainly result in...nothing! The reason why nothing would happen is that all a batholith/pluton really is is a really big rock. At one time it was magma, but it cooled and turned into an igneous rock. If it was still molten it wouldn't be called a batholith or pluton, it would be called magma. So, I'm not quite sure what all the fuss over drilling into one is about other than a misunderstanding.
great reply,
ATSers never let the facts get in the way of a great fantasy pseudo science story.
Everyone will ignore YOUR REPLY as it kills the excitement of the thread based on speculation and fear mongering!

The most likely outcome is somewhere between these extremes. Some things that do not bode well are the constant lying and lowballing of the oil leak size, the refusal to make public such things as the record of exactly what geological formations did the well drill through, the apparent foreknowledge of the disaster allowing the dumping of stocks, attempts at media suppression, and the halfhearted cleanup effort as if for some reason it was not even worth trying.

The post below is being ignored and it shouldn't. I am not saying we should believe everything that is said, but if what is said there is true, then this whole thread is now pointless.

I love Australia... truley the lucky country..lol
That said, if 50% of the worlds population dose go the way of the Dodo, and entire races are wiped out..
With our massive ethnic diversity, the races will live on...

lmao....your quote cracked me up. if only people in other countries understood how true your quote is. only trouble is that if we do have to repopulate from here, the world will be run by the middle east - from australia.
This down hole leak will undermine the foundation of the seabed in and around the well area. It also weakens the only thing holding up the massive Blow Out Preventer's immense bulk of 450 tons. In fact?...we are beginning to the results of the well's total integrity beginning to fail due to the undermining being caused by the leaking well bore.

I don't see anything about "Batholith's" being dangerous? Are you saying that because they have drilled into it, this thing is going to explode? Because again I cannot seem to find something that indicates that they have the potential to erupt like a volcano.
