This thread is pretty funny. Not the part of it that has to do with the actual oil spill and affects on the enviroment, but what people say. 54% is from coal, butdoes your car run on coal? NO. Some members on here use oil to heat their homes. The ships and planes that brought your corals and fish from other countries run on Gas or Diesiel produced from oil. The trucks or trains that shipped your tanks and stands and other equipment do as well. But everyone on here is so rightgeous, as long as you buy products of any type from the stores you are supporting the need for oil. And if you really wanna save the REEFS stop buying the live rock, fish, corals and inverts. If you really wanna do your part. And you had to know one of the oil companies were do for a large scale accident.

Anybody ever think about what happens if we cant stop the leak. What if this oil is being forced out from the earths center with such force the hole cant be plugged, which is what i believe is the latest plan of attack.

If plugging the hole doesn't work, you would think we would try to connect a hose to it, trying to funnel the oil out of the ocean. Sounds good, but it might be hard to connect a hose to a oil volcano 5000 feet below the surface.

If that doesn't work and oil continues to pour into the ocean, for like 2 more years or till 2012, we are going to have much more serious problems than the cleanup of the gulf coast. I think this could potentially impact the whole ocean, if not KILL it, if proves unstoppable! Ocean dies, we die!!

Maybe the Mayan people saw oil, instead of water like we think, in 2012

Im scared!

The oil supply that this particular rig tapped into is not infinite. They will either stop the leak or all of it will leak out.

If it just keeps flowing and flowing forever there would be no need for foreign oil.
