Default Re: Oil Spill an Oil Volcano that can't be contained?

Oil wells eventually run dry. There has never been an oil well found that just kept on gushing forever or else we'd have unlimited fuel forever. An oil well taps into a pocket of oil. It doesn't come close to the molten core and won't cause a volcano...otherwise we'd have caused volcanoes before. Even if it did, the huge amount of cold water would quickly cool any lava flow. Worst case scenario is an island. Scientists are only pressured to be silent if they keep putting out grossly inaccurate information year after year. Any scientist that came up with correct information in the public's interest that was being stifled would make him/herself a word hero overnight. All this stuff stinks like all the other bad internet spam that get's passed around. When was the last time you got one of these emails that turned out to be true? Usually you can check out snopes.com and get the low-down on this stuff.
