And / or not allow anyone to assist in cleaning it up? Keeping it from advancing to other states and beaches? Denying Governors equipment to keep the oil off of there beaches?
I am not a conspiracy theorist but am just curious…… Why are we not accepting offers from Countries who have had spills like this before and have experience and tools to clean it up? Slow it down? Stop the leak?
one could point to the Green agenda.
But seriously BP had been committed 100% to capping this well, and to think otherwise is ignorant. They are losing stock value by the minute. It is obviously in their best intrest to cap it as fast and effectively as possible.
This is not a quick fix leaky faucet.
The administration hasn’t been super expedient with the clean up effort, but government isn’t effective/expedient wih anything honestly.
NO MONEY
Trying to ban offshore drilling, and make a dent in oil production to make way for new energy, specifically for CCX the company backed by such investors like George Soros, Al Gore, and Barack Obama……hmmm I wonder what it would take to pry them away from their shares to show they have no agenda?
to blame Bush and have a reason to shut down off shore drilling which they forced to take place when they stopped on shore drilling and shallow water drilling
Absolutely nothing – this idea is ridiculous. This thing is a PR nightmare for everybody, and the last thing the President wants to be dealing with right now is something like this when he has so many other important things on his table.
There is no such desire on the part of the government. Hence any such agenda that you derive is entirely one that you have fabricated in your own mind.
The spill will cost the country a great deal of money in a time of fragile economic recovery. The costs are not only in cleanup costs but in lost businesses and revenues. We are, as you know, already in debt. Litigation to attribute costs will last a long time and the resulting awards will be a long time in collecting from the responsible parties. The government derives no benefit from any perceived allowing of the spill to continue and only detriment.
It’s to get the public to back the government take over the oil industry like it did with GM and Crystler. It also reinforces the oil companies are the enemy of the planet mantra. We will be told soon that a cap and trade scheme would have prevented or minimized the damage to such a catastrophe and need to pass legislation immediately.
