Good News?
The Pensacola News Journal tells us that the seeping oil is from another well:
The seepage detected from the sea floor briefly raised fears that the well was in danger. But [Admiral Thad] Allen said another well is to blame. The seepage is closer to the older well than to the one that blew out, Allen said. Also, he said, “it’s not unusual to have seepage around the old wells.”
There are two wells within two miles of BP’s blowout off the Louisiana coast in the Gulf of Mexico. One has been abandoned and another is not in production. Around 27,000 abandoned wells in the Gulf aren’t checked for leaks, an Associated Press investigation showed this month.
I see, no need to worry about the seepage because it is from a different leaking well that no one is watching on the Internet, so that’s OK.
Meanwhile, the Local Puppy Trainer is agreeing with me again: EDITORIAL: Florida legislators’ slick trick. I would be worried about their agreement, but the Republican action was so egregious that even libertarians noticed and were annoyed.
