G'day Everyone.
I watch for the very moment that British Petrol (BP) could be stripped to the core of it's very life. As the congressional hearings go on, oil is still coming up from the ground under the ocean.
A job offer is going out to every American wanting to help clean up the oil spill on the beaches and on the boats. I'm currently talking with my family and close friends about it (the job offer). There are a lot of things to be concerned about.
In some ways, this oil spill about the size of 9/11. But what it's worse are the people who cut safety corners and tried to drill faster to make up for the lost profits. That's what resulted in this horrible disaster. Of course, every oil and rig worker wants to strangle the person who cut those safety corners. Why should a company cut those corners for? The simple thing that should have been done? If they couldn't complete the job, then cap the well and take a loss on the deepwater horizon contract. Unfortunately, stubborn people can't stand with failure. 11 people paid the price and so did many of the injured people.
Now we are paying for it all the more.
President Obama needs to step up because this is the moment that could make or break his presidency. If stripping BP apart to help pay for the compensation efforts and coming short of closing that company, then it's very possible that will happen.
Many oil companies are facing a tough future of their life. They're looking at more safety rules and regulations. They can expect more surprise inspections. But will it lead to better improvements in the oil industry? Maybe.
Drilling in our world's water is not really the best idea unless oil companies have an absolute confidence in every disaster preparedness plans that are set up and ready. If they haven't made it or haven't trained for it, then they shouldn't be allowed to drill in the water of the ocean.
With the Hurricane season here, the Gulf of Mexico is about to experience it's WORST season.
As I watch CNN and the congressional hearings today, I think BP's future isn't very bright already.
Good luck to them.
Semper FI.

I wonder why others Oil company
that has Oil Ridge in the Gulf
of Mexico help BP? Don't they
care about the environment and
helping BP solve their problem?
Are they forgetting to help each
other like God would want them to?
Lets say BP solve their problems
and another Oil company ridge
exploded? I don't think BP will
help them because nobody help BP
when they had their problem.
