Yea I kinda searched through the first 7 pages, and didnt find anything to do with this at all, so i figured.. why not start one myself? Just really wondering what the rest of armor games thinks of BP and the oil leakage....
From what I've heard, the engineering managers forced the engineers even after being told not to cut corners on it's construction by the engineers. If they hadn't done this they could have capped it with safeguards that were never put into place.
true... We really need a cheap reliable energy source we could use for vehicles.... if someone says Nuclear power they are ignoring the waste.
I always thought electricity was a good idea. Pop a Tesla coil in their and it's 0-60 in like 2 seconds, if that. xD
Anyways, this is a major clusterfuck. The scope is quite alarming, and what was the government doing for the first week? Letting BP handle it all. That's automatically a bad idea, because BP isn't nearly as large or powerful as our oh so important government.
BP wasn't even running the rig anyways. They're only legally responsible because they were having this other company drill for them. Not actually their fault.
At least they're trying their best. Kind of sad for BP, having been flaunting their green practices for a while.
OK, this oil spill is really beginning to piss me off. It's freakin obvious that the big orgy that the oil industry has been having is over. No one assumed this was possible, and no one seems to have had any plan to deal with the "impossible". BP, TransOceana, Haliburton, all the rest... Fear Al Qaeda all you want, bu...t the real terrorists are in your mutual fund portfolio. Fill up your tank America, party on! What a tragedy. BP -- A history of cost-cutting to maximize profits and minimize safety, in bed with politicians through millions in lobbying, and at the end of the day, not a clue how to manage the spill, let alone public relations. We're getting what we've paid for -- cheap oil, and a political system that bows at th...e feet of lobbying power. Let's hit them where it hurts. BP = bad petroleum, bad pumps. Boycott them, fill your tank elsewhere.
Leave them aloan to clean it up and it wont happen again.
Ever heard of the exon Valdez? that WAS the largest oil spill in the world. Until this one.
Oil spills happen every year. But none of this magnitude. Sure it was an accident and they are trying everything in their power to fix it; but it is all ready to late to turn back the clock and save the marine ecosystem. In the affected areas.
Yeah, I agree. That being said, no one should get on the government to clean it up. It is not their problem to solve. It is BP's. And honestly, have you people looked at their "Solutions"? I have never seen more half baked ideas in my life!
