Obama Admin. Approves BP?s Plans to Drill in Gulf of Mexico

[irishspirit]

On Friday, the Obama administration approved (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/22/business/energy-environment/bp-plan-for-gulf-drilling-is-approved.html) BP?s first plan to drill oil in the Gulf of Mexico since the April 2010 explosion that killed 11 workers at the company?s Deepwater Horizon rig.


The approval by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) came despite the fact that BP is the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation and was recently cited (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/13/us/us-cites-bp-and-contractors-for-deepwater-horizon-spill.html) by the Department of the Interior for numerous safety and environmental violations in the Deepwater Horizon explosion.

If people cant see this is either: (1) Gross greed or (2) gross negligence and disregard for the Ocean and all within her, or both (more likely) then they need to wake up!! These people only have their best interest at heart and they are so bloody stupid they don't realise that they ARE hurting themselves and their own ancestors!!
It makes me sick.

Ps not to mention that the Earth doesn't spend millions and millions of years to produce ANYTHING she doesn't use.
I have a theory that the Oil reserves within the Earth are utilised to lubricate the tectonic plates, greatly reducing friction and thus Earthquakes.
But hey, I'm just Joe shmo right.
