I read an editorial somewhere concerning the small oil spill from the
oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico saying that windmills do not
explode or foul the environment but in reality windmills do kill
wildlife. In fact the average windmill kills hundreds of birds and
you can see vids of this on Youtube. One can also see vids of a
windmill "exploding" as it gets of balance as well. In fact, the
average windfarm probably kills more birds than this small oil spill
will.


You're crazy. It's spilling 40,000 barrels per DAY. If they can't cap
it,
it'll spill that much for months until another hole can be drilled. It's
projected to pollute the coast of four states.

Well, in today's news the report is that the CG is planning to set the
oil on fire.
I guess now we'll have to worry about the little fishes.

I heard that also... a controlled burn. Oh, it was 40,000 gallons per
day, but still... 2000 sq. miles or something like that. That's a lot of
burning.

Most of that 2000 sq miles is a sheen, which will not burn. 1 quart of
oil will cover 2 acres. And they had to add a lot of gasoline to get the
fire started. Crude is hard to burn.



What's your point? (Besides the one on the top of your head...)


Shut up and read for content. You'll get the point.
