[Biofuel] Fwd: Scum of the earth
thanks for all the links. i lived some time in the niger delta, where shell flares enough gas to provide a quarter of what the UK uses, because it's cheaper than reinjecting, building a pipeline, or utilizing it locally. and that's on purpose. the equivalent of 1 exxon- valdez tanker of oil has spilled in the mangrove creeks every year, for 50 years. the revolving door corporate selfregulation we see with BP is a problem in nigeria and finland as well, so i appreciate articles like these to pass on. people still denying the urgency of renewable energy and sustainable living also own responsibility for these predictable and totally avoidable disasters best, /g.

Re: [Biofuel] Scum of the earth
Being an observer from Afar, but still part of the Global community ( Western Australia in the bush) Maybe out of this disaster reality might take hold Keith and people will wake up to the damage Big Oil companies and oil itself is doing to our world and big change will come out of it in the form of SERIOUS alternatives to Oil based fuel energy sources. Focus more on the environmental devastation & Degradation caused by huge oil spills and damage it has done. then about the greed of corporate industry for profits over habitat ,do a Edward De Bono and think Laterally out of this with proper Direction by those that give a damn more money should go towards proper research on the alternative energies we need rather than spending Trillions on new warfair that is based over oil anyway Tony from Toodyay West Au AKA Moodyne Joe *who? * http://westaustralianvista.com/moondyne-joe.html At 11:06 PM 27/05/2010 +0900, you wrote: >BP is a mad dog.

Re: [Biofuel] Scum of the earth
It all makes me sick at my stomach. And frankly after that leak on the North Slope, the refinery explosion, and now this I think DOJ should send folks to prison.

BP is a mad dog. Planet Earth hasn't got cancer as some people say. It's got rabies. It sure takes some doing to out-dog such stalwart corporate persons as ExxonMobil, Dow/Union Carbide, Monsanto, Bayer, ADM/Cargill/Tysons et al, but about the only thing I can think of that could dislodge BP from its Top Mad Dog position is if someone presses The Button.
