Question by : How would a Libertarian explain how the BP oil spill could be avoided under their governance?
The media never covered BP cutting corners on their offshore oil rig, so how would people know BP was cutting corners? If people didn’t know, then they wouldn’t care what BP was doing. People would still be buying from BP, so BP would have no incentive to make the oil rig safe as long as they saved some money. Eventually the oil spill would still have occurred under libertarian rule. Doesn’t seem like a libertarian could say their philosophy is superior in this case

Question by crystal_wade06: What will stop the oil spill if BP isnt able to do so?
I don’t know much about off shore drilling, but what happens if BP is unable to stop the oil spill? Does the oil keep spilling out, until there is no oil left in that spot?

I am aware of the damage to our wildlife and environment, just wanted to know when will the oil stop on its own if we are unable to stop it?

Answer by Ｆｉｖｅ Ｓｅｖｅｎ
An oil deposit has the potential to actively emit oil for decades, I believe the average well lasts for somewhere around 30-40 years before it is depleted.

How will the oil spill affect hurricanes?

Question by lilliandulcia: How will the oil spill affect hurricanes?
So I’m in Florida, hurricanes and the oil spill both concern me quite a bit. I was wondering if anyone knows how the oil spill may affect hurricanes that go through it? I know they are affected by the temperature of the water but I’m not sure if something like oil being on the water will affect them.
Just curious! Thanks for any response~
I just noticed that there are a lot of questions like mine, and I feel a little embarrassed to be asking again. ._.

Best answer:

Answer by Carly
The oil spill could effect a Hurricane in that the oil on the surface of the Gulf of Mexico has a dark color which causes the oil to absorb more sunlight and thus transfers this extra heat energy to the Gulf waters and has increased the temperature of the Gulf of Mexico by 4F. This extra heat will be picked up by any Tropical Storm or Hurricane that enters the Gulf and that will cause a swift strengthening of the storm. Then when the Hurricane strikes the shore a very tall storm surge up to 30 feet high will carry all surface oil many miles inland and absolutely everything will be covered and take many years to clean up. Right now the Gulf of Mexico is a disaster zone and a Hurricane would devastate the entire Gulf region.

Giant shrimp? Squids? Will huge oil-soaked jellyfish develop a taste for human flesh?

Great idea, Sky! better write that one down…..

Answer by icantremember29
DEATH, wildlife and fish! Oil kills, the wildlife can’t survive with it in their wings, on their scales, it won’t make them mutate, the chemicals added to oil would, but that is further down the petro making process
