If you don't want to clean up oil spills then don't ask a company to drill for oil 7000 feet under the sea and charge that company huge royalties and fees to do so. Nobody is suggesting the citizens pay for the full clean up. Only suggesting that citizens pay for their share of the clean up whether it's 5% or 55%. And I am certainly going to be avoiding BP based products and services over their handling of this mess. If you don't want to have to clean up oil leaks, then don't use oil. Did you actually think there were not consequences drilling for oil every time you filled up your automobile?

The latest we hear is that safety alarms were turned off to allow the men off shift to get some sleep. If this is true, then the buck stops with the operators, Transocean and Halliburton. -- Clive |
