Anyone else have Déjà vu
Monday, June 14, 2010
Sure it may not be nice, and it may not be completely fair, but after everything I keep hearing day after day, I cant help but feel that British Petroleum has muffed the ball on the oil spill. It also feels like the US government has not taken swift and decisive action either. One thing that is still frustrating me is the claims that only BP has the technology to try and fix the problem. At this point I am pretty certain that we have proven that we cannot trust the owners of this deepwater technology and its assorted patents to be aquatically prepared to respond, and if we are going to continue to drill in deep water (and we must), then the tools and technology to make it safer, and to aid in correcting any disasters needs to be in the hands of those most eager to ensure it is used quickly and with best effect. I have no doubt all involved were caught completely off guard on this one, but that is the very reason emergency response must be ready to go at all times, and the methods for dealing with these spills must be constantly tested and updated.
