Those containment booms aren't going to be effective and their 'scope' to prevent impact is very, very limited. One picture is not necessarily worth a thousand words.
BP analysis of environmental impact on Gulf coast had warned of risks to beaches but said oil spill was virtually impossible.
Of course they would say that. What else would anyone expect Wall Street to say?
The reason government should listen to its scientific community over the profiteers of Wall Street is because the 'guesstimates' of Wall Street are ALWAYS on the side of profit and not loss. Just look at the hideous estimates of scientists that want to dispel the Climate Crisis as bunk. They know they are lying, but, don't care and as long as internal documents can protect their best interests and it can be sold to corrupted politicians. The people of any nation are insignificant to Wall Street and their scientists and opposing statements are dismissed as invalid.
Wall Street are crooks. Get over it.
