Subject: How to prevent BP disasters
After a terrible blow-out and spill in the North
Sea in the 1980’s,
the Norwegian government made all existing oil
wells drill relief wells.
Any new wells would need a minimum of one relief
well – government tested,
before allowing any oil to be pumped from the
new well.
That’s smart insurance.
The Reagan administration rejected the idea as
too much big government.
Too bad we can't get a Democrats to list that
fact.
There are 3800 oil wells in gulf of Mexico that
the USA leases rights to, so why not
make it mandatory for each company to drill at
least one relief well on each, just in case?
I agree, but our Right-leaning president may prefer to please Boner and The Bitch.
And make it mandatory that all workers involved
must be American citizens – and this
does NOT mean an American contractor who can
hire whomever he pleases.
All workers must all be American citizens.
This gives the USA jobs we so desperately need
AND helps prevent
the type of human tragedy and ecological disaster
this one has become.
The oil companies can easily afford this.
Wrong - the greed of oil men is insatiable -
they can't help it.
Why do you think Cheney stole the hardest job
in the world after 3 heart attacks?
Some clown at BP bet all the billions the company
had on that $500K blowout preventer
Jesus, that was a stupiud gamble but - they wanted
that extra $500K
Too bad there is no way for the little guy to
reach team Obama
with this suggestion because it would help him
too, immensely!

Dude, you're in Jacksonville?
That means you'll be getting tar balls by September.
Sorry about that.
