The fact of the matter is that the USA military and the petroleum industry has never opened up the reality of their own pathetic history. And the country actually expects this to be resolved? No. They are bidding their time so they can say, "We did it."
The spill of the Bay of Campehe can't even begin to match the damage done by the rupture currently in USA waters. Why? Because the global ocean circulation is involved now and the oil and the chemical dispersant is a part of it.
The environmental damge is enormous to the Gulf and the ocean circulation, hurricane season is underway and we are already witnessing the beginnings of it. The damage to the USA Gulf Coast line will be far more extensive in 'cost' alone. As an example is the Lousiana Brown Pelican and its struggle to be removed from the Endangered Species List. If the Louisiana Brown Pelican has to go back on the Threatened or Endangered List, BP will have to fund not only future efforts to return the bird to its status before their irresponsible act, but, also the cost of what the USA paid for 25 years of restoration.
In 1979, the world was a far different place with 2 billion less people and an Earth that was not warming due to carbon dioxide pollution from humans. The far reaching implications of this negligence by both government and industry states exactly the 'esteem' they hold citizens, their lands and their livelihoods.
IF the Bay of Campehe is what the USA military is counting on as a 'source' of how this is going to 'end up' they need to 'think again.' Because the global dynamics, the location and the economy are very, very different and the immediacy of a solution is more important than 1979. Typical poor insight by the USA military. It is why they repeat illegal wars, too.
And all the whining and the crying that elected officials do in Louisiana can end right now. Jindal is crying his people are unemployed, blah, blah, blah. But, BP is paying the cost, so just 'shut up.' Louisiana is just about the most disgusting state on the Gulf Coast, next to Texas. And realizing how 'history' could easily have played as a huge lesson here only screams of 'lax government and regulation.'
In the picture above, the oil well is burning 'under water' and the 'attempts to contain it included TWO relief wells and the disaster continued for 10 months. The reasons for the Bay of Campehe disaster was the same as BP's deep water drilling and the INDUSTRY has done little to nothing to change their practices to improve their environmental performance. It is all about money and there are now at least two generations of fishermen along the Gulf Coast being deprived of their ways of life. In realizing that, it is easy to say the USA government, military and petroleum industry don't value the lives of Americans but find them only an annoyance AND necessity to their 'profiteering and wars.'
HELLO?
Blow the drill hole UP.
NOW!
