Today is the 40th day since the Gulf of Mexico first got blown away with oil. On the day of April 20th the deepwater horizon well 50 miles off Louisiana coast 11 rig workers died. Out of this tragic event came news of a failed blow out preventer. Soon the gulf coast braced for an Exxon Valdez magnitude of disaster. What America did not suspect was BP’s trickery and deception.
BP said that 1,000 barrels of oil was “leaking” per day. Yet this was their lowest guess. By keeping what was real a secret they could pay less for their reckless endangerment. This works because judges would make them pay less than what the real cost is. Then when forced to reveal a video they said 5,000 barrels a day. When they tried a method that a small tube connected to a tanker would siphon 5,000 barrels a day.
This would seem to anyone that BP had controlled the problem. However this was not so; BP had lied again.
When BP was forced to show more live footage of the blown out well, it showed deception. The footage still showed oil gushing out of the well like water going of a fire hose in all directions.
BP has lied to America and their endangering of workers show they are corporate criminals but criminals none the less. We must rid ourselves of these conglomerates and create a truly green energy system. BP deception shows we cannot trust oil companies as the Exxon Valdez spill should have shown us. I have hope for America but dead birds covered in old habits are not an energy plan. Oil is a menace when touched by the evils of soulless corporations.
If anything this disaster has shown us it is that we need to clean our ways up for the sake of the fisherman, shrimpers, and most tragically god’s defenseless animals. Call your senators and congressman or congresswoman and say support the climate change bill it cannot wait.
