The LEAKS are upsetting to the CEO because of the loss of PRODUCT, not because of human beings and/or wildlife and/or American property values are effected.
What is really disgusting is that the USA government at any level does NOTHING to end the leak. NOTHING.
Do you know how the Saudis solve these problems? They drill a parallel HOLE and then place a nuclear charge in the HOLE, fill the HOLE and set off the charge. Why? Because they don't want the pollution, the health effects or the damage done to property. The Saudis always figure they can drill another well. But, then all Saudi Arabia has to do is have a proclamation of the King, not a corrupted Congress, to end the LEAK.

...The Santa Susana Mountains (click here) north of Los Angeles contain compressed layers of sedimentary rock that arch upward, like upside-down bowls. They once held enormous oil deposits, but those were mostly tapped out by the early 1970s, when SoCal Gas bought portions of the oil fields to use as natural gas storage.
The Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, just a mile away from the affluent northern LA community of Porter Ranch, is enormous. It's the second largest in the western US, with some 86 billion cubic feet of capacity, larger than any human-made structure could match. The facility is an important tool used by the utility to respond to fluctuating power and heat demand....
