Costimizing Your Own Foot Ball Helmet

BP - a Balance between

Ironically on 22/04/2010, the 40th Anniversary of the "Earth Day " (bitter irony of fate), the oil rig exploded " Deepwater Horizon " burning and sinking in the sea. Eleven workers, who could not be evacuated in time to be missing, set to look for them shortly! The hole that is located in 1,500 m water depth suggests a leak. First, however, can find no oil spill.

The rig was commissioned by the second largest Oil company in the world, BP operated by the white one, that he is for profit (as most other large corporations as well) with the security does not take that seriously either. The usual response to problems as well as concealment, denial, lies, and if that does not purchase and shop! The show must go on!

now

This oil spill, it would seem to run well, as with many other disorders, it has been in the years before that. The U.S. authorities, who are responsible for the awarding of oil concessions, it has been infiltrated, successfully corrupted and bought sodas to fear from this site for inspections and unpleasant questions. For the Press and other critical observers from the public and the government develops one violent activism, but which is ultimately ineffective! Another's time to ask you the people and the public for help. We need suggestions on how the well, but now leave the large amounts of oil to seal, would be. Whether this is meant seriously, can not be judged. It shows very clearly that no bad seems to have thought about what can happen when a big accident happened in such a deep and you no idea how you can seal a leak or broken pipe support again!

BP regularly, together with public officials, before the press and announces new Abdichtversuche constantly, but all fail! In America, the problem seems to be underestimated. Most people are aware of the devastating dimensions of this oil spill aware at all. Maybe it's because the software that BP deliberately concealing the amount of oil discharged. Over time, it turns out, however, that the oil fumes emanating daily in the sea are much larger than the company claimed.

BP blackmail humanity

Now that the source has just 6 weeks polluting the sea and now a quantity of oil has leaked that puts the accident with the " Exxon Valdez " in Alaska as a small civil practice, is celebrating the group because he managed to cut off the bent tubing. Unfortunately, it is so that this cut has increased the pipe cross-section, because before he was through the bending of the conveyor tube, while the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon, much smaller. It now flows according to differing estimates about 20% more oil into the sea than before. After BP is a sort of funnel a mounted on the conveyor tube has a portion of the oil now extracted and on the sea surface be pumped into a waiting tanker (of course, that's good for the group, because he can bring this oil to the refinery and then sell expensive than gasoline ...). The amount of recovered oil is said to be only about 10-20% of the total flowing oil. I'm not exactly the brightest and perhaps I also have one or the other brain cell in my youth lost by excessive alcohol consumption. But if I take all my skills together and kogniiven times as a rough guess on the thumb, then I realize that after this statement the amount of oil flowing almost unchanged, while the BP Group now at least the part that without this section not withdrawn, would be able to sell profitably! If I'm wrong, please correct me!

Deepwater Horizon after the explosion on 22/04/2010

Although BP now plans to sell this event a success, changes in the disaster does not really change anything. The oil flows and flows and flows continue unhindered into the sea. The beginning of hurricane season will ensure that oil masses substantially mix with water and spread on the beaches are washed in large quantities and over hundreds of kilometers. What's more, that the masses of Corexit 9500 (owner is the chemical company Nalco Chemical Company ), which one shortly after the discovery of the leak into the sea poured (so it's no wonder that we saw herunschwimmen long time no major oil spills at sea, because Corexit splits the oil into smaller droplets which are then distributed more easily in the water ... until it was discovered several weeks ago that large oil films were formed on the bottom of the sea that threatened to destroy the livelihoods of the Marine Resources), are probably very much more toxic than the oil itself

In Britain, for example, is Corexit because of its very high toxicity forbidden! But with such little things, keep to themselves in America does not continue on, as is evident - to drill for oil in such deep water that escape in case of incidents of direct influence and for which we hardly any has suitable or even semi-proven techniques, let for technology assessment reports have been made, or emergency plans drawn up!

So while the oil spill, is proliferating and the first hurricane will form inevitably, researchers then found that the Gulf Stream, the Gulf of Mexico has its origin urther danger! Get the oil residues, as well as the poison in this massive flow, then not only threatens the west coast of Florida an oil spill on an unprecedented scale. the oil spill may also up to the East Coast of the USA are driven and, hold on tight, possibly into the Nordalantik! So at least everyone that has it.

Tony Hayward, CEO of BP, but saw no reason to leave his post. I mean, why. He finally does what he can. That's not much, but what could one expect so. He makes money for his group. while leaving the safety on the track? Hey, that's capitalisms, you know? The profit of the group gets, the damage and consequences are socialized, so this is now! And because Hayward caused much about the "good" reputation of his company, he was recently made $ 50 million for a public relations campaign rather than those affected by the disaster at least once in advance to pay a few dollars in compensation.

Even U.S. President Obama, who actually liked a lot better in glitz and glamor profile public events (but in a positive sense) had, for the 3rd Time in the coastal regions threatened by oil spills to stay there and act like the bad guy. His anger is understandable, but the manner in which he was the oil slick and the power of giant BP is facing makes him look as helpless as George W. Bush at Hurricane Katrina . The crisis management has been and is in both cases, little or not at all confident and that should not be just a positive impact on good governance and the consent of the people affected
