Ginormous petro-contaminated sinkhole in Louisiana

[Mr. H.]

Yo, chumpos... You think planting 39 million acres in ethanol-bound corn is the answer?

Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha.

Oh pweeze... we got the sinkhole and the "cancer alley".

A fucking blip.

The Gulf of Mexico is dead... agriculture.

The Ogallala aquifer is dead... agriculture.

Streams, rivers, lakes... dead. Agriculture.

Fresh water? Fergeddaboudit! Agriculture.

Fuck you idiots.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Do you like to eat? If you do then you're for agriculture.

 

[Dot Com]

Oh yeah- and Mattie with his/her "asteroid fracks the earth" thread.

You're a fuckin' hoot.

start another one of your brilliant threads then deflection boi OH WAIT!!! You can't because your threads blow.

 

[ScienceRocks]

We should ban fracking. Do you agree Mr.H?

 

[Kosh]

Discuss agriculture turning the entire planet into a toxic waste dump.

Asshole.

deflect much? Guess where some fertilizer comes from.

The far left agenda

 

[Kosh]

We should ban fracking. Do you agree Mr.H?

Why? Because the church tells you it is a sin?

 

[elektra]

Sink hole from oil, we got one in Los Angeles, been there longer than man has been on earth,

Cochise College*************** P

earth has been destroying itself a long time, longer then we have been here.

Asshole.

Ask that of the agriculture industry. And the EPA.

You 'tardmongers make mountains out of ant hills while turning a blind eye to the true rapers of the environment.

Thread. Fail.

You've got a point, sorta - not that this isn't the most specious of deflections. But, what, precisely, were you planning the world eat? I thought it was us "warmists" who were trying to return to the stone age.

Pennyslvania Supreme Court just overturned a court finding that would have prevented LOCAL governments from enforcing local environmental laws.

This could hard on the FRACTERS

LA ougth to consider doing the same.

The Bayou Corne sinkhole was created from a collapsed underground salt dome cavern operated by Texas Brine Co. and owned by Occidental Petroleum.

From Bayou Corne sinkhole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia with references.

Oil drilling had absolutely nothing to do with the sinkhole!

And does that mean that Libtards will stop using salt in an effort to save the world from sinkholes?

And yes, there are a lot of petrochemical plants in the area and THERE IS NOT PROOF that they have unalterably polluted the swamps in the area. In fact, they provide thousands of jobs and a tax base that improves schools and other public services. Not only that but beside fuels, they provide the chemicals needed for just about everything we use, wear, and eat.

Does that mean you will all stop wearing synthetic fibers and buying things in plastic containers.

You Libtard extremists are unbelievable!

Mr.H,

We need to eat but we sure as hell don't need fossil fuels to power our cities.

Big difference.

With the exception of GREATLY expanded nuclear -- you're completely failed to support that assertion.. OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER again.. Massively failed Matthew.. It gets as annoying as the 8 yr old who refuses to go to bed during the cocktail party.

You got NO "alternatives" left on the list..
But you persist to whine about the stuff that currently runs the hospitals and factories left in this country..

Electric tractors will run on Fuel Cells powered by hydrogen and nat gas ---- LONG before they are charged off the grid with a battery wagon behind them (if they ever will be).

 

[flacaltenn]

LongKnife pretty much nailed this OP shut..

Did not happen as a result of fossil fuel extraction.. The "pollution" filling it is just what was there in the first place. People in Louisiana are living above oil and gas deposits a lot.. The Brine company IS paying displaced persons $800+ a month and working to contain the carnage. So far -- a bunch of trees and houses have been threatened by a growing hole.

Crap happens. And then leftist journalists get to whine and write sloppy copy about the event.

 

[Dot Com]

oh. so since they're paying people damages means theres no there there? WRONG denialists!!!

 

[ScienceRocks]

I've often said I'd like to see 100 gw of added nuclear. AS LONG AS WE don't do it over a subduction fault...
Expand hydro and geo-thermal to its limits.

I also find it acceptable for us to use 20-30% natural gas...The name of the game is reduction of emissions back to acceptable levels.

 

[flacaltenn]

oh. so since they're paying people damages means theres no there there? WRONG denialists!!!

No --- there's no "there there" because it's not related to fossil fuel extraction.. It's a salt-mining accident. And a sinkhole results.. If it wasn't under a swamp --- it wouldn't be growing. But for your clan --- it's an opportunity to fuzz all that out and have a pile-on..

Isnt' it??? ?

We shouldn't be doing ANYTHING dangerous ever? Right? Aint that the grand leftist "avoidance of risk" principle??

Well, we could stop turning food into a fuel whose production is a net energy loss.

Wouldn't that be a good start?

A huge sinkhole, used by a petro company to dispose of waste, swallows parish

The Sinkhole That's Eating Louisiana - Newsweek
(snip)

Once a rural paradise, Bayou Corne could become a ghost town as a result of a man-made ulcer whose depths defy understanding.

Cancer Alley, a stretch of about 100 miles between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, is home to some 150 petrochemical plants, making these swamplands perhaps the most industrialized (and polluted) region in the United States.

carbon fuels.

Discuss...

That's not surprising. We're talking about Louisiana, the state that drove it's state bird, the Brown Pelican to complete extension in the 1960's, the home of the worst environmental disaster in US history, and the state with biggest water pollution problem. In spite of the crappy environment, poor government, and lousy schools, I call it home even thou I haven't lived there for 25 years.

[Mr. H.]

If you idiots have calmed down now, note that the sinkhole is an old brine mining operation. Any hydrocarbons that may have been released were already there naturally and not previously drilled into.

The claim in lawsuit is "Texas Brine ignored warnings from its own people and others for nearly 15 years that disaster loomed if the company continued mining a troubled Assumption Parish salt-dome cavern, which created a massive sinkhole after collapsing in 2012"

Precisely.

And, from the OP:
