Thanks for posting this. I was appalled by the President’s speech. Make BP pay $20 billion for reparations? If I understand this right, that’s about a week of profits for their company, an amount they might even be able to recoup from their insurance. His rallying cry for developing real alternative energy programs was nothing but a lot of hot air — and not even enough to start a steam engine. How about the feds establishing the first solar powered electric utility in the nation via a public-private partnership? How about placing a year-long ban on all drilling? How about banning drilling altogether?
What’s really aggravating is that the biggest environmental disaster in U.S. history was caused by a drilling rig that doesn’t even produce oil that we can use in our cars or homes. It’s the stuff they make plastics and other quasi-petrochemicals out of. As Stewart says, makes you miss Richard Nixon.
