contained oil, even if it wasn t 500,000 a day, so it didn t get to texas and new orleans? how much that attributable to planning or failing to plan for the disaster and bp s failing in the days since? it s 100% due to lack of planning. remember, keith, in the deep water there was never going to be a spill. there was never going to be a blowout. there was no accommodation made for that eventualities. so all of the technology, all of the skimming, all of the equipment that they have designed is 30 years old and never intended for this kind of use. it s all bad planning. bob, the peat moss story they were told by bp, this company, this edmonton company, they couldn t do this because they couldn t essentially reclaim the oil, therefore, resell it, do you buy that? does that sound logical to you, that that would be a major corporation s response to something that might help a little bit in the middle of a
absurd, it proved today that during the 1970s bp put its name on a board game called offshore oil strike about the thrills of drilling. rediscovered by the uk metro newspaper, the game clearly never rivalled monopoly, but the parallels between it and the current disaster nothing if not eerie. the rules are this according to boardgamegeek.com. two to four players compete in the north sea exploring for oil, building platforms and laying pipelines to bring offshore oil back to the player s home company. first player to make 120 million wins, but they have to avoid dreaded hazard cards which read blow out, rig damaged, oil slick clean up cost, pay $1 million. how quaint. time to call in oil and gas industry veteran bob cavnar. now with the huffington post. thanks for your time again tonight. good evening, keith. thanks have for me. if the levees broke in new orleans following another storm
reputation is sliding away along with every ecological thing we need to preserve in the gulf? you know, since they re burning off about 8,000 or 9,000 barrels a day on the q-4000 offshore, i m not sure the lack of recovery and the peat months thing was the issue, but clearly the peat moss does work close to shore and in level water. i think it was more bp just dismissing every idea but their own. it s not in my own backyard kind of thing. it s not invented here, so they just rejected most all of the ideas. virtually 99% of the ideas have been rejected by bp to clean this up. fortunately they had planned for it. they had better ideas to call on. that s right, they had none whatsoever. as always, bob, great thanks. thanks for having me, keith. a little more on the tax breaks. eric bates is at the news desk with me. thanks for coming in tonight.

the blowout and the top kill, the pipe blow will just burst and begin to flow. i see. into the formation, so they have to get it down below. have to go all the way to the bottom. thanks so much for joining us, bob cavnar who knows what he s talking about. by the way, bill clinton and i sometimes think aligning. democratic senator sherrod brown is one of three senators calling on president obama to mobilize a civilian service corps of young people to work on the gulf oil spill. thank you, senator, for coming on. again, i agree with the politician at hand here. i keep think, as you might have, the old ccc, the old idea of taking people out of work or looking for work, getting them doing something healthy and out
