what's terrible is BP is using all the same failed tactics that were tried in the oil spill from the 70's you'd think they'd try the one that worked first
And this is damn near the worst thing to happen to us in quite a while.
The most insulting thing in my opinion is that this is completely caused by man and is a prime example of his capacity for irresponsibility and carelessness.
I am fine with oil drilling if it is done excessively safely however these companies actively PUSH for deregulation of the industry. I will be extremely bothered if Obama turns out to be too conservative and cozy with industry to not let some real heads roll over this.
In any just world the BP executives ordering cost cutting that lead up to this would be killed.
