The Petroleum Industry has to face hearings and not just BP. All of them are 'skating' by without sufficient regulation.
The Petroleum Industry has absolutely no respect for government and even less for citizens. They are pure unadulterated, 'money machines' for greed.
They knew this was going to happen. If BP claims ignorance, then Transocean knew. They cut corners and don't give a hoot about the economy of the USA. If anything, THEIR tragedies only make it more important they stay in business and conduct it with abandon.
All the Petroleum Industry has to due is 'line the pockets' of political machines and treasuries 'enough' to make it worth the governments while to allow it while making excuses to the populous.
We can power the nation without them, I promise you. GM no longer has the corner on electric cars either. And we don't need natural gas, either. The government HAS TO TRUST its scientists.
Governor Schwarzenegger's bravery on this issue should be emulated across the country. Literally, the 'coastlines' of the USA could be made 'sterile' by this industry and we would have a national crisis beyond any wildest imagination. I admire his initiative to protect the economy of California.
I don't want to make this sound 'extreme' but if he wants to completely rollback the danger, he needs to assess the areas that are being drilled even experimentally that have NO safeguards. Inspections and where there are NOT guarantees, I AM NOT TALKING MONEY GUARANTEES, that an event like this won't happen with RECORDS and RESEARCH to back it up, verified by third parties and California Universities; cap the wells UNTIL it is proven to be completely safe.
The Wager is NOT worth the income !
STERILE OCEANS serve oil barrons' best interest.
