Oil leaks!!! This is making me so mad. Obama is now putting the blame squarely on BP's shoulders. Yup! OK! So they were operating it. Telling the whole world that he's blaming them, and that they should suspend all share payouts isn't going to help anyone though...... Share prices will drop and if he isn't careful they could end up in administration and then NOT be able to pay for the clean up. What are the Americans going to do then? The fault lies with a lot of people and companies. If the USA wasn't so obsessed by their huge gas guzzling vehicles, permission may not have been given in the first place to develop rigs at such a depth. If the Bush administration hadn't cut back on the inspections, if the Obama administration had insisted on better inspections. I "googled" Bush, Haliburton, bin Laden, rig inspections. Wow!! They are all so caught up in all this oil stuff and each other, it's scary.
Thing is; yes! it is a disaster, but once the majority is finally cleaned up, the worlds natural defences will take over. Do the Americans think that oil is just held in nice convenient little spaces in the rocks, and are only released when we humans drill into them? Natural dispersion will happen - not for the amount that is spilling out at the moment admittedly and something needs to be done, but instead of sitting at home complaining, maybe the complainers should get off their backsides and go down to the bloody beaches and help with the clear up?
And if David Cameron offers any sort of financial aid to the USA I will be bloody angry. Bloody America got us into this bloody recession with their bloody sub-prime mortgages that they then sold off around the world; and don't forget bloody Goldman Sachs hedge fund. Let the freakin' bankers and the freakin' oil industry pay for this.....
OK. Rant over! That was so much more satisfying than a cigarette... Back soon with the next rant. :-D
