another zappy whine about nothing

all you do is whine, insult and bitch on this forum...you should try offering somethign of substance for once in your life

those oil rigs produce nothing of any real value in the overall scheme of things, they are unnecessary and excuse me for liking my coastline as pristine as possible. i would have thought you would agree, but leave it to you to be an asshole for asshole sake

It's taken me literally DAYS to get through your non-stop whine-fest...and I've only gotten to this post!

Fer GAWD'S sake Yurtle, you've done NOTING BUT WHINE this entire thread, and now you're going to claim my post is whining?

btw...whining insulting and bitching is all you've done on this forum since I got here...if you'd just once offer up something besides the same tired whining, perhaps I might be persuaded to engage you in debate.

However, since every comment or question directed at you or near you or in your general direction is some perceived "gotcha" moment waiting to happen which conveniently allows you to ignore/avoid/circumvent the topic/question, debate is all but impossible.

anyway, back to the thread before usgaydom obsesses over this for another hundreds posts

the rigs right off santa barbara coast do not produce of anything of real value, so they should be taken down.

Then cap the wells, knock them down and let them start the process of becoming another coral reef...oh and don't forget to thank the Captains of Industry for their care in building those rigs where it might not be an eyesore.

Maybe you should thank a tree hugger there aren't MORE rigs out there to ruin your view?

Are you referring to how much they produce TODAY or how much they have produced since inception? Again, they would not have been built if they weren't a value to the state and oil companies. If there are 15 rigs in one location, odds are it was not a tiny field.

Obviously there is expected value in the sites further off shore or they would not want to drill them. One has nothing to do with the other.

My guess is your 'local report' came to the conclusion of 'little value' because like you, they do not like the rigs in their line of sight.

today. and once again, you ASSume....

yawn

LOL....you're so stupid you can't see the irony of your post

Yertle wants the cheap oil, but doesn't want to have to suffer by looking at where that oil comes from...


NIMBY!!

Drill in the Gulf of Mexico!!

Drill off the coast of Florida!

Just don't do it where Yurtle might get his delicate sensitivities out of whack...

thats the stupidest thing i've heard from you

i guess people who drink should never complain about drunks

What's wrong with drunks?

I clearly stated it was a guess you moron. If you would like to provide us with a copy of your 'local report'.... please do.

But again, oil companies do not drill sites and keep them running if there is 'little value'. States do not allow sites to continue producing if there is 'little value'. It doesn't make sense for either of them. Which again leads us back to the fact that you are simply whining because you don't like how they look.

So do us all a favor and shut the fuck up or produce your 'report' that shows they have little value.

its not online, if it was, i would. with all your "guessing" you are assuming much. these are federal waters, not state. you assume i don't like them solely on their looks, you're wrong. but keep harping that if it makes you feel better. because you obviously have nothing else to go on except lying and attacking me.

you should also know there is a federal and state moratorium on building new wells, so of course even if these old wells are producing little, they will continue to use them as they can't build new ones.

I know for fact there is more oil than we can handle for decades in the region out of sight of land. But to not produce the seeping area is moronic.

i was wrong, the oil rigs do produce alot of oil and there are billions of barrels that they can get by slant drilling, so the rigs are a necessity and that local article i read is full of shittle

Central Coast oil platform sets new record

Exxon Mobil’s Santa Barbara facility set a new record for slant drilling from an oil platform off the coast of Santa Barbara, bringing to the forefront tensions between those in favor of local oil exploration and those opposed to off shore drilling. [PacificCoastBusinessTimes]

On April 16, Exxon announced that it had drilled more than six miles horizontally for a total reach of more than seven miles, from a platform located off the coast of Gaviota. Because of new technology, the company is slated to produce an extra 5.8 million barrels of oil from three area platforms, which have produced 450 million barrels of oil since 1981.

Meanwhile, a group of environmentalists are pushing to revive a deal with Plains Exploration & Production Co., to remove an off shore processing plant. If they are successful, new oil companies which would have to build their own facilities which would increase cost and prohibit some from drilling.

Researchers report there is as much as 3.4 billion barrels of oil off the central coast

http://calcoastnews.com/2010/04/central-coast-oil-platform-sets-new-record/

also, i read something else the other day that mentioned that oil actually seeps naturally from this area and that oil "spills" in the region are 95% from the natural seepage, not the excavation of oil by man

Gulf Oil Spill Threatens to Become Environmental Disaster

NEW ORLEANS — Oil continued to pour into the Gulf of Mexico on Monday as the authorities waited to see if the quickest possible method of stopping the leaks would bring an end to what was threatening to become an environmental disaster.

Remote-controlled robots operating 5,000 feet under the ocean’s surface were more than a full day into efforts to seal off the oil well, which has been belching crude through leaks in a pipeline at the rate of 42,000 gallons a day.

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/27/us/27rig.html

This isn't an argument against drilling. These accidents are bound to happen periodically. Having had a gig as a oil robber baron in a previous life, I'm totally cool for drilling were it makes economic and environmental sense, assuming we will proactively transition to green, communist energy.

Just that some areas of the nation have an environment or natural scenic beauty that is a more valuable, sustainable, and viable economic asset, which only a teabagger would risk trading for a few years of oil profits (most of which leave the local economy and flow to Houston).


Central California Coast - Drill Baby, Drill!

just like many turbo-libs cypress your a freaking tool on the subject. Let me guess, you do drive a car. Asswhipe, should be pollute poor countries that don't have environmental regs we do. Or the capacity to clean it up like we do. You cali toefu eaters use more gas than the rest of the country. Stop driving and using oil related products and your message might be less bs.

Ha! Hey man, Cali is the lowest consumer per capita of gasoline out of 50 states and the District of Columbia; i.e. we rank 51st lowest in gasoline consumption.

We're like, what 4th highest in oil production out of 50 states.

http://www.statemaster.com/red/grap...ergy-gasoline-consumption-per-capita&b_map=1#

So we use less gasoline than anyone else per capita, and produce more oil than almost everyone else.

Plus, more importantly we're number one in ganja crop.

I'd say we're doing our part, grasshopper.

When other states get down to our level of consumption, and ramp up their own oil production to our levels, then ya'll can bitch and whine!


That said, I do need to trade in my gas hogging volkswagon van for a hybrid. Luckily, I only have to drive into work like three days a week. But, you totally nailed me there, bro.

that spill is threatening one of the best fishing areas in La, hopefully they can shut the leak in with the rov's and boom and skim their butts off.
