Wind power fails no more than 2% of the time and the power grid makes up for that. There is no reason not to power the USA with completely benign power.
I don't recognize any viable answer by the Petroleum Industry in this investigation report. The emulsifier is everywhere carrying oil with it. There is a huge destruction of viable life in the Gulf yet to be realized.
The oil is toxic. We know it is toxic. There is no way any tourism can occur in those waters and it keeps spreading.
The fisheries are contmainated and those fish cannot be relied on for a food source. The FDA is going to have to test any fish that comes out of those waters to determine the level of toxicity in their meat. The toxins will build up over time. The fish being harvested out of the Gulf now have minimal exposure to these toxins, but, no different than the Great Lakes, the fish being hatched (if any) will absorb more and more toxins than their parents.
The Gulf is a toxic waste pool dedicated to harvesting petroleum. The Petroleum Industry could not care about any of it.
It is one thing to clean up a contained spill of oil. It is quite something else to 'live with' floating chemicals that never end.
I have a solution.
We do not need 'too big to fail' in any industry.
Independent, small businesses don't do this. Large corporate entities that have too much distance from product to consumer do this. Large corporations are too depersonalized from 'real values' to allow them to continue.
How many small, responsible rig operators would exist if corporate petroleum companies were banned from engaging any drilling process ever again off the USA shorelines? And if they didn't exist, what have we really lost? Nothing.
Put, them out of business and stop pandering to an industry that doesn't care about life so much as profits. Wind, solar and electric vehicles.
We can start by boycotting BP. Stop their illegitmate practices.
Incredible dedication to their viewers. Thank you, CNN. I learned all I needed to know.
