BP Acquits Itself of Sole Blame for Gulf Spill after Internal Inquiry
BP in this week will present the report of an internal inquiry, which was carried out to find out the reasons of Deepwater Horizon explosion. According to BP, this internal investigation has given a clean chit that the oil Company is not solely responsible for it. The detailed outcomes of this internal inquiry would be disclosed after one month..
oh, well i guess that makes it all right then?

No suprise with fines ranging from $1,000 a barrel for an accidental spill to $4,000 for gross negligence they have to put the best face on it.

I heard on some news program that BP can deduct the costs of all of this on their taxes. So, we once again pick up the tab, if this is true.

I am sure Haliburton & Transocean bear some responsibility.

How bored does a person have to be to know Haliburton was in charge of plugging the well and that Transocean owned the rig?

We're all so smart...us humans. We can put a man on the moon but we can't cure Cancer completely. One thing I've been waiting to hear from any of these conversations, and haven't read it touched upon yet, is the idea of operating waaaayyyy ooooouuuuuuttttttt iiiiiiinnnnnnnn thhhhhheeeeee MMMIIIIDDDDLLLEEEE of the oooooooccccceeeeaaaaannnnn where we must invariably have unknown variables to deal with. I mean, maybe China dug a tunnel thru to the oil spot and blew a hole thru the pipes. Maybe all the people who oppose oil drilling right off the coast, close in, where the things that Are monitored would Be monitored better, easier, and they could access better what does go wrong (ought to make a few scientists all bubbly just thinking about it).....Could be. Maybe we lay blame where had ANY of us been responsible ---> we couldn't have done any better. Yeah yeahhh, I have read it all here and on Puke (PQ). I see the news, read the news, yada. Weigh the consequences. Let those that know...weigh the consequences. It's crazy...finally get it capped and a tropical storm or such makes 'em have to uncap it. yada yada yada. Save the crustaceans, coral reefs, ocean floors, drill right on Florida shore..make those folk move who live on the beach<---who the hell do they think they are anyway...they are as bad as those who build gigantic homes in Colorado forests. Screw them. It's an ugly sight...but, just hearing about what has happened Now...makes ya not even wish to imagine it in your mind, it's so crazy...and for years to come. If I were God, I'd start knocking each and everybody in the USA who lives right on the beach OFF into oblivia, then I'd decide where a few (as few as necessary) oil rigs could be placed just off the shore. And that would be that. We don't just use oil for our cars.......oil makes our lives capable.
ga nitol, ...oh...look! It's morning! Another day~

I hope all the people who objected to offshore wind generators will think twice after this. It would be far better and safer to have an offshore area covered with windmills rather than oil rigs.

True, but have you heard about what is going on with the Oil spill now?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-10791343
Mother Earth taking care of our mistakes. No sense giving up the Wheelchair Van quite yet.
Our electricity is by in large powered by coal...And you know Europe, has had nothing but success with Nuclear powered energy. Once again stigmatized by our country.
Of course there are concerns...no doubt about it. BP and we the people are obligated to do everything we can to fix it. Offshore windmills do very little to rectify our overall energy concerns. They kill birds and do little to rectify "the big picture". In the meantime, we'll be fine as things are being taken care of. No worries. No sense in making too much political hay about it. I don't blame President Obama...it is the price of doing business, no matter how ugly it is.
But being realistic, we run on crude. Our lifestyle depends on it so long as we do not stifle innovation or the people who make sure we can heat, light, run our homes with electricity, and live the lifestyle we are accustomed to. We can do this without the knee-jerk panic and platitudes. And you know what? Our current President of the United States knows this.
Reality.
