See this full set of pictures here.
When obtaining the license to build this enormous oil well that reached over a mile down into the water to drill, baby drill, BP said the chances of an explosion or catastrophic accident was next to zero. Aren't these same people making the same claims about nuclear power plants?Oh, and a little tidbit about this that brings a nostalgic image of the evil Dick Cheney to the mind's eye: Haliburton was the company that did the cementing, a process of injecting cement to line the well cap and the walls of the well to contain the highly explosive gases. Haliburton's cementing is also implicated as the cause of the gigantic Timor oil well blowout last year.

Halliburton's reckless agenda of oil and destruction extends beyond Iraq's borders. No doubt the Obama-Palin mantra "Drill, baby, drill!" will march ever onward. Hey, tar-covered turtle corpses aren't as bad as civilians casualties. See, things are getting better . . .

ReplyDelete"Drill, baby, drill," has been traced back to Newt Gingrich who put forth "drill here, drill now" a few weeks before Palin first used it. Those Republicans sure do how to march in locked goosestep.
