Why is Pres Obama so afraid of asking real experts any questions about deep water drilling? Funny thing?

Liberals inspire me every minute.

“Under my Administration, the days of science taking a back seat to ideology are over. . . To undermine scientific integrity is to undermine our democracy. . . I want to be sure that facts are driving scientific decisions, and not the other way around.”

—President Obama, April 27, 2009

The President has appointed a seven-person commission to take what he says will be an objective look at what caused the Gulf spill and the steps to make offshore drilling safe. But judging from the pedigree of his commissioners, we’re beginning to wonder if his real goal is to turn drilling into a partisan election issue.

Mr. Obama filled out his commission last week, and the news is that there’s neither an oil nor drilling expert in the bunch. Instead, he’s loaded up on politicians and environmental activists.

One co-chair is former Democratic Senator Bob Graham, who fought drilling off Florida throughout his career. The other is William Reilly, who ran the Environmental Protection Agency under President George H.W. Bush but is best known as a former president and former chairman of the World Wildlife Fund, one of the big environmental lobbies. The others:

• Donald Boesch, a University of Maryland “biological oceanographer,” who has opposed drilling off the Virginia coast and who argued that “the impacts of the oil and gas extraction industry . . . on Gulf Coast wetlands represent an environmental catastrophe of massive and underappreciated proportions.”

• Terry Garcia, an executive vice president at the National Geographic Society, who directed coastal programs in the Clinton Administration, in particular “recovery of endangered species, habitat conservation planning,” and “Clean Water Act implementation,” according to the White House press release.

• Fran Ulmer, Chancellor of the University of Alaska Anchorage, who is a member of the Aspen Institute’s Commission on Arctic Climate Change. She’s also on the board of the Union of Concerned Scientists, which opposes nuclear power and more offshore drilling and wants government policies “that reduce vehicle miles traveled” (i.e., driving in cars).

• Frances Beinecke, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council, who prior to her appointment blogged about the spill this way: “We can blame BP for the disaster and we should. We can blame lack of adequate government oversight for the disaster and we should. But in the end, we also must place blame where it originated: America’s addiction to oil.”

On at least five occasions since the accident, Ms. Beinecke has called for bans on offshore and Arctic drilling.

• Rounding out the panel is its lone member with an engineering background, Harvard’s Cherry A. Murray, though her specialties are physics and optics.

Whatever their other expertise, none of these worthies knows much if anything about petroleum engineering. Where is the expert on modern drilling techniques, or rig safety, or even blowout preventers?

The choice of men and women who are long opposed to more drilling suggests not a fair technical inquiry but an antidrilling political agenda. With the elections approaching and Democrats down in the polls, the White House is looking to change the subject from health care, the lack of jobs and runaway deficits. Could the plan be to try to wrap drilling around the necks of Republicans, arguing that it was years of GOP coziness with Big Oil that led to the spill?

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel took this theme for a test drive on Sunday when he said that Republicans think “the aggrieved party here is BP, not the fisherman.” He added that this ought to remind Americans “what Republican governance is like.” The antidrilling commission could feed into this campaign narrative with a mid-September, pre-election report that blames the disaster on the industry and Bush-era regulators and recommends a ban on most offshore exploration. The media would duly salute, while Democrats could then take the handoff and force antidrilling votes on Capitol Hill.

Even as this commission moves forward, engineering experts across the country have agreed that there is no scientific reason for a blanket drilling ban. The Interior Department invited experts to consult on drilling practices, but as we wrote last week eight of them have since said their advice was distorted to justify the Administration’s six-month drilling moratorium.

Judging from that decision and now from Mr. Obama’s drilling commission, the days of “science taking a back seat to ideology” are ver

Will British Petroleum Pay for the Damage they have done in The Gulf of Mexico?

Will British Petroleum Pay for the Damage they have done in The Gulf of Mexico?
Dear National Geographic Associates and Constitutes,

I’m very disappointed in the lack of interest that the United States Senate has in the amount of restitution that BP owes the surrounding states and Mexico. I’m a resident of Florida and I have drafted a letter to Senator Bill Nelson asking for help to start the process of prosecuting BP in the court to make an example of them for the damage they have done to the economical and environmental ecology. I have read the article, “The Spill” that has been published in the National Geographic Magazine. I would like to petition the government and start the process, but I’m not a lawyer or a paralegal so I’m asking for help. The Damage is done, but there is a way to make an example of the corruption that drives the greed to maliciously extract the natural resources from the planet with no regard to safety procedures and precautions that are available and effective. We the America People will take the Oil Company BP to Court and make them pay for 30 – 40 years of damages. Please read the letter below and then think about the next two Generations that will be working to clean up the Spill-

If the monies are won in the Court then it would be possible to ask for the help of professional Aerospace Engineers, Builders and Designers to build a machine that would clean up the oil better than people risking their lives and health in the process.

Please forward this letter to others that may have an interest in the issue

Bill Nelson- How do I help you help me start this process? Please respond at your earliest convenience.

Dear Bill Nelson,

The deregulation of our government is a complete Breach of Homeland Security; I would like to File Federal Charges against BP- and take this case to the Supreme Court. With the current rate of inflation the suggested 20 billion dollars is a pittance in relation to what should be paid to the tax paying voters of Florida. This should be rationalized and the dollar amount should be 7 Trillion Dollars ($7000000000000). I demand that BP pays 7 Trillion Dollars for the damage that has been to the Gulf of Mexico, and the environment that surrounds the Gulf. This includes all plants and animals that are being damaged or destroyed. I feel that you can be of service to your country and your people by taking a stand. Demand that PB pay for the damages done by bypassing and breaching Homeland Security by paying for lower standards and then being indecisive on how to stop the leak. There needs to be an audit on every person involved in the department that allowed this to happen. You are the person to file this for the people it is directly affecting. NOW is the time to strike before BP makes a mockery of the American People & Government. I would emphasize on the fact that Homeland Security is not only military protection, but it also includes corrupt behaviors of corporations who’s primary goal is to make money for the British Government. Am I wrong thinking that BP is an British Company? Of course they provide jobs, but they have done irreversible damage to all the fishing industries in the Gulf &have forced the workers to find clean waters to continue their businesses. Desperate people may try to clean and process the fish that have been killed by the oil. Then the general public would ingest the fish, resulting in numerous medical problems. This in turn would cause the medical field to become overwhelmed with people suffering from exposure by the way of toxic chemicals associated with oil. Tourism is dropping at an alarming rate and there will be many small businesses struggling and desperately trying to survive. Taxes will have to be increased to cover the loss of jobs. Theft, crime, and drug use will increase due to the fact that people will be in need of support. None will be available. Citizens that once were able to provide for their families will lose their jobs due to the drop in tourism. Bill Nelson, how may I help you start this process? Please respond at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely,
Daniel William Newell
