It's always amazing how obvious people, especially when it is Manager, which can overestimate their own abilities and those of their companies and their technological capabilities. A wonderfully horrible example of this is the second largest energy company in the world, BP (British Petroleum ), which is noticeable mostly by less practiced environmental protection, because by permanent greenwashing, pollution in enormous scale and a particularly lax handling of both industrial safety, and with everything that relates to the technical security of oil production and refinery facilities.
know, is a group, the shareholder value of all - the quarterly figures are above all and which are higher, the less you invest in the infrastructure, technical facilities and the Sicehrheit the personnel or the environment! That's when BP is not different than in most other large corporations that span the same gigantishen Kraken the entire world and, driven by the greed and criminality of their managers, the resources and raw materials loot to win what the heartbeat of the capitalist World - money! The shareholders do so, they say, and therefore we must act so they say. Of course not, without even taking into fill the bags and leave the responsibility and the consequences of these actions for future generations and society. Because of environmental pollution and the destruction of our livelihood, one can not alone bear the costs. Evil tongues say that this is a further principle, which is based on capitalism - privatization of profits and socialization (ie, when shit's running, or something goes wrong in this system, then have all kindly ensure that the conditions for generation created by winning again and even to the detriment of the general public!) of the losses. Whoever sees a certain similarity to rescue "distressed" banks during the economic and financial crisis is certainly not wrong. Because you so with all that is scarce and therefore expensive, fantastic, make money, but only if you do not invest too much in the security and modernization, it sucks just from old production facilities and refineries, until they fall apart. Or better yet, we sourced the production of oil out, as so beautifully said, and only provides ncoh the production license of charge! That means money, without having to have to do something, than just stay still and receive the hand. But because the companies do all the Arbeti to the group and earn what you want, in the transaction, they make the machines, winding towers and oil platforms run until they fall apart! And exactly this is done, as in the Gulf of Mexico, a huge oil rig probably due to an industrial accident exploded and sank in the waves! 11 men died in the disaster's about life, about 100 more could be like a miracle before the inferno to safety. The environment was not so lucky. She could bring neither security nor have the highly specialized engineers who specialized companies and whoever, in the situation, the enormous oil spill to stop that now flows from the well and the entire Gulf and the surrounding coasts threatens to pollute. Of course it does all stakeholders sorry, but can do nothing, you first! That is, the more scarce and precious anyway expectant oil, now flows freely into the Gulf of Mexico and no one is able to seal the well. A dinosaur technology, such as the burning of oil and its derivatives for the purpose of the drive of motor vehicles, have dominated the promotion of the raw material in great depth, but is not in a position to be sealed once drilled holes again, if something goes wrong! And those responsible and unsuspecting companies you want government- grant permission to drill the Arctic oil stock? Makes any politicians think about what else can happen? No one thinks about how you intend to master nuclear technology if you do not even oil production under control? Or is it rather the case that thick bundles of U.S. dollars and "€" sign in the eyes of the dim view the extent that one of the dreams of capitalist corporate managers can no longer be distinguished from reality and therefore they adopt it? What will happen in golf, if the "experts" really need a quarter to be sealed in 1,500 m water depth gushing oil wells? Daily flow to the 150 tons of oil from the ground and the oil slick on the water already covered an area of 4,600 square kilometers. Indicative of the incomprehension and the wrong assessment of the situation more than a stupid question that the U.S. media on what is probably the most common is: "When will we have to really really worry?" The equally stupid answer, which is given, is: "From now on!" It would be "since the day than this crappy oil platform exploded and sank in the sea!" the only correct answer.
But for the time being employed has been paid to the oil slick from the air by means of large Amounts to spray chemicals in the faint hope that this would degrade over time thereby.
this fiasco in the Gulf of Mexico should be the last straw for us, to finally say goodbye to an outdated and uneconomic method of producing energy by burning fossil fuels. There is no other way to get clean energy, renewable energy such as by water, sun, wind! No one can be so stupid that it the problem of oil production in the sea can not see it unless he can obscure his brain from Werbegeschwafel energy companies! No one in the boardrooms of energy companies has an interest in our environment and our livelihoods obtain. This promises a profit and is therefore a problem that society has to regulate their money! Understand the finally!
