Like most of you, I have been used up by the BP oil supply that went down in the Gulf of Mexico a couple of weeks back. The thought of hundreds of thousands of gallons of wanton oil spilling in to the waters off the Gulf Coast each singular day (it only upheld the 4 million gallon mark) with no distinct finish in sight, sickens me. It is simply unfit to comprehend, or maybe even to calculate, what the long-term products of this mess will be.As the Senate hearings proceed on who did what and when, why, and for what reason, the finger indicating that has been ongoing is ramping up in to full swing. Sure BP is at error due to the actuality that it was their supply (by the way, were you wakeful that the US Government exempted them from environmental examination on this specific supply and that they have the misfortune environmental jot down of all the oil companies). Sure Haliburton might have built the petrify structures wrongly and Deepwater Oceanic should have done the failsafe close off valve a bit some-more failsafe. But the bottom line is, no have a difference who did their work poorly, or who shirked their responsibilities, at the finish of the day, we are the ones who are obliged for the mess at hand.Thats right, we are the ones responsible.BP, similar to any alternative oil company, is in the inorganic substance diversion for one reason and one reason only: money. And where does that income come from? It comes from us. Either without delay by profitable to siphon it in to the vehicles, or in a roundabout way in the planes that we transport in, the plastics that we have use of to have the lives so most some-more convenient, and the products we buy from abroad that are shipped to and fro so we can save a small income on a new turnip twaddler. So in essence, if we as a multitude didnt keep throwing the income at petroleum, BP and others wouldnt be training for it.Now I know that Im going to get flamed for being overly uncomplicated but if I stop behind to my days at the ACME Business School, it all comes down to supply and demand. I should point out that whilst I might live a lifestyle a small less oil contingent than some, Im still piece of the problem, so this isnt me indicating the finger as most as me usurpation my piece of the blame.So what do we do? Read on.
