When BP blew up the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, they made some perfunctory efforts toward clean-up and then paid some fines but those went little distance toward the scope of the damage done. There was extensive damage to the seabed which has been reported in separate research and nothing was ever done to remedy that in any way. There was also extensive damage to the marshlands along the entire coast of the Southland (i.e. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama). (Science Daily: Deepwater Horizon oil spill caused widespread marsh erosion, study shows)
The biggest problem the Rockhouse has observed with Deepwater Horizon has been how much the industry in collusion with Republicans has sought to minimize reports of the damage to make the problem seem smaller than it really was. The damage alone was bad enough but that type of outrageous propaganda ensures there will be more of the same.
Likely there's little beyond the article we can add that you don't already know since there needs to be vastly improved responsibility for maintenance of these resources if they're to continue to be tolerated. The only interest of the oil companies is to squeeze every possible dime out of the product before the Age of Internal Combustion fades into smelly oblivion and that's inevitable with the only variable being how quickly. Quite apart from anything else, it can't survive because it smells too much. Don't mind the smell of that exhaust, Ma, it will only kill you.
If I'm reading die Kaninchen correctly, you're more concerned about that state of the world for the children than the day-to-day pandering of politics. If they don't get the world in at least the state we got it then we have violated every law of the Indian Nation in terms of leaving no trace. I don't know many little kids but it doesn't matter because it burns my ass to think they won't be able to go to look at elephants in the Serengeti. That I never realized the dream is irrelevant as I could have done it just as much as anyone else and that opportunity must be available to the kids today as well or we failed.
We don't need to belabor any point about using resources too quickly, whether physical or animal, but the concern still exists when we're constantly reminded of the problem. The Deepwater Horizon article was published yesterday.
It would be insulting to the severity of the problem to try to be witty with this one and the article is only a public service since this may have provided information you did not already have.
