Drilled down, I think it was 22,00+ feet.


True, drilled down intp the actual well. Sorry, I thought you meant the depth down to the ocean floor there.

And where do these magical vegetable sources come from? Have to chop down a few more forests to grow them.

If we where to switch all plastic production vegetable sources i think that be it from the Amazon.


No, not really. There are currently ideas going into production that will allow crops to be grown in greenhouse skyscrapers that take up little actual land space. It's called innovation, and if we'd move a little quicker we could get past our long overdue love for petroleum.


There are many ideas indeed. Many of these alternatives how ever are still not as cheap as investing in less developed country's. You can't just turn round and say build a 100 eco skyscrapers in the Nevada desert cause that would be communism. 

I wish we did live in a world with Star Trek styled new world economy but we don't. Don't get me wrong i do wish to see such ideas be realised.

New worst case scenario... now they're saying that instead of August, it may not be stopped until Christmas.

As far as BP's progress has been thus far, I wouldn't doubt that at all.

The "estimated" spill flow rate has also been raised to around 60,000 barrels per day. How large is this oil field we've drilled into in the first place? I've still never seen any estimated figures on that.
