1. Oil Companies get a lot of support from many who believe they will "do the right thing" given all the focus on environmentalism and the government regulations they have to follow. So, what the hell went wrong? I mean c'mon, why didn't the backup safeties work?
2. Where were the government agencies that are charged with (and paid handsomely for) ensuring all safety mechanisms are in place and operable? They've targeted a little ol' dry cleaner like me. I guess they should've been payin' attention to the big boys.
3. Are all you opponents to nuclear (and no all you hardcore right-wingers, it's not nucular) energy feeling a little less threatened by the possibility of nuclear energy? No? Okay, how about drilling in ANWR where this kind of a spill would be easier contained?
4. I wonder how many problems with oil wells foreign countries have that we never hear about. Hmm. I would bet your paycheck it is a lot more than we think.
5. In case you're not aware, the lawsuits have already started. That's right, some fishermen who make their living in the Gulf have found ready and willing lawyers to argue the potential loss of revenue. I wonder if these are the same fishermen that often support rigs in the gulf because of the sea life they attract.
Thanks for reading. :)
