How Many Oil Rigs Will Explode Before We Realize the Future Lies with Clean Energy? | Environment | AlterNet
It shouldn't take an oil apocalypse to get our attention. We are facing a continuing threat in the gulf from multiple points of potential peril.
No one should be fooled anymore – accidents do, in fact, happen. Sometimes these ‘accidents’ look more like acts of criminal negligence, like the $500,000 safety valve on the Deepwater Horizon that BP failed to install.
Needless to say we have a systemic problem. But powerful forces in Washington keep convincing themselves that these tragedies are isolated incidents. But the American people should not accept this political game. Each one of those oil rigs is a potential disaster waiting to happen.
