Can you read that for a second and comprehend, that every major oil company on the books just reported a fucking 35~ drop in revenue growth - A FUCKING THIRTY FIVE PERCENT DROP - do you know how significant that is for companies 1.2 trillion dollars in holdings? - that represents hundreds of billions of dollars - That's why they are panicking like chickens with their heads cut off trying to cash out as hard as they fucking can and brainwash as many americans into supporting them before the tide of renewable energy sweeps them away like little bitchcrackers.

"A FUCKING THIRTY FIVE PERCENT DROP"
That's YOY drop is because the oil price went from over $100 down to under $50, that's because production is UP and demand remains WEAK, that can change in little time.
"renewable energy sweeps them away"
You're dreaming, oil is here to stay for many decades. Those companies aren't going anywhere.

Quote:
The record shows that Energy Transfer Partners, the company building the pipeline, spent years working diligently with federal, state and local officials to route the pipeline safely and with the fewest possible disruptions. The contrast between the protesters’ claims and the facts on record is stunning.
Protesters claim that the pipeline was “fast-tracked,” denying tribal leaders the opportunity to participate in the process. In fact, project leaders participated in 559 meetings with community leaders, local officials and organizations to listen to concerns and fine-tune the route. The company asked for, and received, a tougher federal permitting process at sites along the Missouri River. This more difficult procedure included a mandated review of each water crossing’s potential effect on historical artifacts and locations.
559 meetings with the local communities, mandated reviews of historical artifacts
Quote:
Protesters claim that the Standing Rock Sioux pursued meetings with an unresponsive Army Corps of Engineers. Court records show that the roles in that story were in fact reversed. The corps alerted the tribe to the pipeline permit application in the fall of 2014 and repeatedly requested comments from and meetings with tribal leaders only to be rebuffed over and over. Tribal leaders ignored requests for comment and canceled meetings multiple times.
In September 2014 alone, the corps made five unsuccessful attempts to meet with Standing Rock Sioux leaders. The next month, a meeting was arranged, but “when the Corps timely arrived for the meeting, Tribal Chairman David Archambault told them that the conclave had started earlier than planned and had already ended,” according to a federal judge. At a planned meeting the next month, the tribe took the pipeline off the agenda and refused to discuss it. This stonewalling by tribal leaders continued for a year and a half.
Maybe they should have participated
Quote:
Typical of the misinformation spread during the protests is a comment made by Jesse Jackson, who recently joined the activists in North Dakota. He said the decision to reroute the pipeline so that it crossed close to the Standing Rock Sioux tribe’s water intake was “racism.”
And throw in a leftist race baiting comnunity organizer
Quote:
The pipeline route was adjusted based on concerns expressed by locals — including other tribal leaders — who met with company and Army Corps of Engineers officials. The court record reveals that the Standing Rock Sioux refused to meet with corps officials to discuss the route until after site work had begun. That work is now 77 percent completed at a cost of $3 billion.
In response to a lawsuit filed by the Standing Rock Sioux, the court documented “dozens of attempts” by the corps to consult with the tribe. It documented the legal and proper approval process the corps used to permit all of the contested construction sites the tribe claimed were improperly permitted. It even documented evidence that the corps had exceeded the minimum legal requirements during its earnest and lengthy efforts to receive the input of tribal leaders on the pipeline.

Quote:
Pipeline protesters may have a tight grip on media coverage of the pipeline, but they have a demonstrably loose grip on the facts. The truth — as documented not by the company but by the federal court system — is that pipeline approvals were not rushed, permits were not granted illegally, and tribal leaders were not excluded. These are proven facts upheld by two federal courts.
TWO federal courts, those would be Obama appointees,

did you know that seismic activity can be caused by cattle and trucks? it can also be cause by, get this... shifting tectonic plate. the ozarks are on a fault like, there's a few running through oklahoma. I know it sounds crazy but those fault lines are where earthquakes are centered and as we see from place such as california, they come and go, sometimes in high frequency, low magnitude, some times in low frequencies and high magnitude, sometimes it;s even high frequencies and high magnitude so a seismic map that spans 40 years doesnt really tell us shit

I know what it means, it means that OPEC controls the pricing of the market which affects the profits of the US oil market. the oil companies arent "panicking like chickens with their heads cut off", they're doing what they've always done. they're pulling oil from where it's economically feasible. when oil prices are high they can extract from shale and other high cost sources, when the prices are low they suspend extraction there and move to extraction from the lower cost sources. when opec plays games with the oil market, it does of course cut into their profits.
now do me a favor, tell us all what the picture of the gulf is, give us a good description

That - is the direct reflection of this - the dissolved oxygen levels in the gulf of mexico. I presume it looks that way not only because of the silt - but because of the loss of all of the lifeforms that once helped purify the water. Keep in mind these are old pictures - the problem is worse now than it was then.



As far as the earthquakes... that's rather naive, you actually believe that the locations of the swarms - when they began coincide perfectly with humans beginning to inject millions of gallons of waste water at extremely high pressures into the crust?
The fucking USGS has the proofs posted to their site.

The silt is filled with fertilizers which feed mass algae blooms which deprive the water of all of its oxygen content and kills every other living thing in those waters.
Yes it is silt - but the contents of that silt - and thus the contents of that image are in direct reflection of the deadzone that you witness. That image also contains the algae blooms which cause the hypoxia.
And I never said there's no life in the gulf as an entirety - but make no doubt that area directly reflected by the image contains basically no aquatic life. The same happened to the chesapeake bay as well - although efforts to reverse it have had some efficacy.

I'm not sure what your point is Pris. Are you contending that large scale algae blooms don't have a detrimental effect on useful biomass production in coastal waters?

Hyperbole notwithstanding, his point was more or less accurate. I do the same thing when i talk about the Salton Sea being "dead". There is still stuff alive in there, just not enough to make it worth it to go and deal with the stink of the fish-bone beaches. In either event, a short to mid-term drop in coastal biomass is no joke either. all that biomass represents a corresponding amount of atmospheric carbon. In other words, less biomass=more CO2 and CH4 etc. in the atmosphere.

Nothing exists in a vaccume. You also have to take into account that ocean water is becoming very acidic, the global water temperature is rising in some places and dropping in others due to excessive ice melt, and overfishing, dredging, and the spread of invasive species that often hitchhike on our ships is all contributing to the 50% decline in sea life we've experienced in the last 40 years.
People are simple and need things broken down for them but I think the ecosystems problems are severely downplayed by simplifying.
