Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill 2010 – BP Corporate Greed Wins!
Monday, May 24th, 2010
Ever since the oil started spilling into the Gulf of Mexico after the rig Deepwater Horizon exploded on April 20, 2010, BP has been lying to people. At first they said that around 1,000 gallons of oils leaks into the sea every day, then it was 5,000 gallons a day and then the underwater video of the pipe gushing oil into Gulf of Mexico was posted on the internet and everyone with half a brain could see that the estimates were purposefully low. There are several litres of oil that get spewed into the sea every second. It’s a disastrous amount, definitely more than 5,000 gallons a day (see video below).
BP now claims that they are capturing about 5,000 gallons of oil from the leaking pipe every day. This basically proves that their initial estimates were way off and didn’t reflect the reality. But the most shocking fact about BP’s efforts is that instead of stopping the leak to prevent this ecological disaster from continuing, they focused on salvaging as much of the wasting oil as possible. As it always goes, none of the mainstream media picked up on it. It took me, the blogger to point the finger and say the truth out loud.
BP’s corporate greed won. In the name of preventing the ecological disaster, they are doing their darnest to capture as much of the leaking oil as possible because each litre captured is money in their pocket. And it makes them look like they are doing something for the environment now that poop has already hit the fan. Look at it this way:
The very last interest of any oil conglomerate is the environment. Why would it be otherwise? Carbon footprint of the modern civilization exists because oil companies make sure we are dependent on their source of wealth. It is natural that non oil dependent, environment friendly solutions endanger their positions. Oil companies make so much money selling oil, they can easily afford to lobby against and boycott production of electric cars, halt implementation of maglev trains and put a plug on every other means of sustainable transportation or production of energy. Their corporate greed has been on the win side since the first oil well was drilled and is now as strong as ever. And we’re supposed to believe that efforts put into containing the Gulf of Mexico oil spill by BP are environment focused? Forget it – they are solely and strictly profit focused. BP is doing everything to make the most out of the disaster hence the efforts to capture as much of the leaking oil as possible before any other efforts.
The scary part is that Hurricane season will start in the Caribbean soon. Too much oil has already been spilled and continues being spilled every day, but when hurricanes come and start stirring the seas, creating huge waves that will hammer the shorelines and halt all efforts to stop the spill, then we could see the oil affecting much broader a landmass than imaginable. Meanwhile, the corporate greed of oil companies continues to grow as fast as the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
