Ominous Facts About the Gulf Oil Disaster

Since 2004 the blog Moderators, their colleagues and affiliates have warned about Earth’s Terminal Energy (ETE)

Have warned:

U.S., the world, stake the future on high-energy strategies. Energy models’ simulations show all such strategies ending in collapse. EDRO

Forecast the first wave of collapse

• The First Wave of World’s Collapsing Cities

And presaged the extinction of the Energy Dinosaurs:

• The 6th Great Extinction: Sooner Than Expected
• The Fate of Energy Dinosaurs

Our energy models have forecast with high degree of accuracy the rate and timeline of the collapse.

Gulf Oil Disaster: Ominous Facts

1. The Gulf of Mexico Oil Disaster was Predictable and Preventable
2. It was UNNECESSARY.
3. The disaster could probably set the stage for the regional, national, international and ultimately global collapse.

Deadly Oil Slick in the Gulf of Mexico

Photo-like image of Gulf of Mexico was captured by MODIS on NASA’s Terra satellite on July 9, as oil floated across the region around the Mississippi River Delta. “Beyond the area where the Sun’s reflection would have appeared, however, oil may make the water surface look unusually dark rather than bright. The dark arc in the water east of Timbalier Bay may also be oil; it is consistent with oil locations identified with radar images of the area captured on July 8.“ Source: NASA E/O.  Click image to enlarge.

Oil from BP’s leaking Macondo well has washed ashore  at Ocean Springs beaches, about 15 km (9 miles) east of Biloxi, Mississippi, and at another beach close to an inland marsh, reports say.

“We cannot clean up or catch the oil until BP gets here. They have all of our people,” said Earl Etheridge, a spokesman for Mississippi’s Department of Environmental Quality, Reuters reported.
