Funny, last week i said, as a joke, nuclear bomb the shit up to stop the leak. Well! today in the news they said Russians told the press BP and USA should... nuclear bomb the shit up! HAHA! Russianz! :D Also, they said they already did it (the russian) in the 70's and it works.

Obama's oily Katrina
http://www.washingtontimes.com/n…Back in 2007, then-Sen. Barack Obama critiqued the Bush administration's response to Hurricane Katrina. "There is not a sense of urgency out of this White House and this administration," he declared, two years after the disaster struck. Now, more than a month since the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded and sank, with a massive oil spill making landfall on the Gulf coast, Louisiana's Gov. Bobby Jindal is the one calling for "more urgency." The only rush in Washington is over where to shift the blame.

Doesn't BP bear some responsibility though? You can blame Americans or people in general...but at the end of the day what choice do people have?
It's not like you can drive down the dealer and buy your nice, affordable electric car, roll down to the local gas station and charge it as you drive to work. Consumers don't have the ability to choose an option that doesn't exist, and since we live in a capitalistic society with a relatively weak regulatory system, at some point it is up to the corporations like BP to make these decisions.

at least they stopped the live video spilling.

Or should it be up to the government? In places like China the government is happy to use a heavy hand to reshape the country's energy policy and pick winners and losers...
Trouble is, in the West and especially America people are opposed to the idea of the government intervening.

oh look. BP are lobbying at the climate change talks in Bonn.
They have the nerve to lobby against progress on climate change while they blow their load over the US.
"There was outrage in the Bonn convention centre at the latest round of UN climate talks that BP should be there lobbying on behalf of the oil industry even as the company is spilling millions of gallons in the Gulf of Mexico. Lutz Von Meyerinck, director of Deutsche BP, and Enno Harks, political adviser, are listed as present, but were both keeping a low profile today. "
