Trying on my new tinfoil hat

[begin_within]

Was the BP disaster planned, as a way to topple Obama?

1. of course it was

:tinfoil:

2. Or did Obama plan it to topple BP?

3. Some people just want to LIVE w/o the machinzations (sp?)

To the 'elite': Beat your own brains out and then DIE (sooner rather than later....no one will care nor cry)....in fact, a cheer of relief will erupt. Booya!

4. no

it was created by decades of deregulation and a failure to regulate in any way deeper and more complex drilling.

Where we go from here though will simply be a matter of dollars and sense. BP will try to wiggle out of as much as possible and the Obama reelection machine will try to do as little damage to the oil industry as possible, while saving as many votes as possible.

6. France planned it!

Oil, Coal & Nuclear will become obsolete to make a way for cold fusion, clean energy!!

France wins billion dollar fusion research plant

Clean energy

The European Union announced yesterday that the world's largest ever fusion reactor will be built in France, at a total cost of around $12bn.

<snip>

The ultimate goal of the project is to finally crack the problem of how to tap into the immense power of nuclear fusion. Fusion is the same process that goes on in the centre of the sun, and it holds the promise of almost inexhaustible, clean safe energy generation.

For nuclei to fuse, a plasma needs to be heated up to several hundred million degrees while it is contained within an intense magnetic field. The trick will be finding a way of doing this without putting in more energy than is generated.

The problem is that the solution is always, and has always been 25 (or so) years away.

The details of how the project will be financed have still got to be hashed out, but the EU is expected to pick up 40 per cent of the tab, France a further 10 per cent, with the remainder shared between the other international partners: the US, Russia, Japan, South Korea and China.

Once the facility has been built, experiments are expected to start in about 2015. The research is likely to continue for around 20 years.

In the best case scenario, a demonstration plant would be built in 2030, with the technology being developed commercially by the middle of the century.

7. Probably not

But anyone who is not sick at heart over this spill would most likely enjoy seeing Obama fall. Is that almost the same thing?

8. It looks like they are utilizing it to bring him down.

Even if it was not planned, they are using it score points against him.
