@leilanimunter...please don't take this as a criticism, its curiousity...Isn't your integrity as an environmentalist, compromised by your continuing career as a race car driver? How much fuel do you burn per month, per week, per day, on the track? If you were to give up your need for speed at the Earth's expense, then I could recognise sincerity, but it seem hypocritical and ironic. Responsibility starts with our own actions before criticising others...Whats your carbon footprint?
1 second ago Some babies crap in side the womb- we call it mechonium-, Then there are babies who bite the niples of the mother causing mothers to get mastitis.
Most human babies do none of the above.
Piglets almost always bite the nipples of the mother.
Mr.Haywood is a useless , worthess mass of protoplasm , that may have done both .
Then he is talking about a life.
He is an evil thing. Not even a low life , innanimate - lifeless , thing without feelings.
Whether we like it or not, we depend on hydrocarbons for our survival, not merely for wealth. How do you think it has been possible to expand the human population from 2 billion to over 6 billion in the past century or so?
Now what to do about the problem. As somebody else said, Americans and Europeans generally don't notice (or more specifically, don't care) about environmental disasters until they happen in their own back yards. And who is responsible for keeping an eye on these vicious, snaring beasts known as multinationals?
That would be our federal government, and in this case the Minerals Management Service. They Looked the Other Way for a Long Long Time. Sorry, but the reason we don't have more independent experts working for the public good is due to a failure at the highest level -- essentially corruption at the federal government level. The lobbyists get what they pay for.

thank you so much. this video is really true. i live in florida on the gulf and my life has been constantly affected by this oil spill. i am so glad i saw this video, I really related to it. Thank you!

This is what happens when you put a pretty boy in office who doesn't have a brain in his head.Thank you to all the idiots who elected the moron sitting in the white house.

NUCLEAR ENERGY is the only solution. If you don't go to that, everything you say is about switching to alternative energy is laughable.
That's the key.."there's not a price that they could pay to fix this at all"..and that is what offended me so much about Obama's continuing to say, BP will pay the clean-up costs...as if everything was for sale, or could be bought.
That doesn't make Obama worse than most of the rest of us, but he needs to not "get upset" but to have a deeper level of empathy. (Don't mistake me, most of the Republicans are far *more* morally confused, but its Obama's failings that are key now)
Kind of hilarious about all this upset about the gulf and this one isolated-although-major incident. Compared with the "Spills" in Nigeria, go check that out. I believe the combined oil spills in Nigeria is something likeThe exxon valdez times 50. Fishing and everything in those areas are wiped out a long time ago, the life expectancy rate is 40 years!.
But as always, shit has to happen in the west before we notice anything.
People need to understand, oil doesnt just make fuel and energy. Paint, plastic, steel the list goes on. Oil wont go away anytime soon. Don't bash on BP the federal government has the final say on what rigs get used (they do a safety check before it can be used). They allowed the rig to be used and so the owness is on both the BP and federal safety inspectors.
@leilanimunter: Transocean is essentially an American company, which registered in Switzerland for tax purposes in 2008. it began life in Birmingham, Alabama as the Southern Natural Gas Company. For Americans, the fact that BP is British is immaterial, the fact that it is foreign, however, is not. This is hypocrisy. All oil companies are as bad as each other -check out what Chevron is doing in Ecuador to avoid responsibility for grievous pollution there -that's one example.

why doesent obama stop bashing the british and get his hands out of his pockets, its quite amusing how the us goverment is trying to destroy bp yet with full knowledge that ALOT of people has investments ans pensions within the organization. If BP fail then alot of pensions will fail and that means alot of inocent people that had no hand in this disaster will ultimately pay the price whilst the fat cats can go to their 5star homes. peace!
@jester18uk Ha! It's the other way around, BP has already destroyed us! They have single handedly wiped out the entire seafood & tourism economy in our Gulf. Half our seafood comes from there. What about all our people whose livelihoods are gone? What about them?! It's not our fault BP has the worst safety record of all the oil companies. In last 3 yrs BP received 760 safety citations across 6 refineries. The other 145 refineries COMBINED in the US received only 1! FACTS are a wonderful thing.
@leilanimunter dont get me wrong my thoughts go out to everyone effected by this and it is a disaster you are quite right in saying that bp have failed however the rig was american owned, had americans operating it, but then obama seems to think this revolve around a british company that america now has the vat majority of shares!. you are right facts are a wonderful thing!
@jester18uk actually, you are wrong again. The rig was owned and operated by Transocean, a Swiss company that pays Swiss taxes. The rig was built in Korea and was registered in the Marshall Islands. And the orders to keep drilling going against the warnings by others on the day of the fateful explosion were given by BP executives. This is directly from survivors that were on the Deepwater Horizon that day. 60 Minutes did the story, you can watch it online. Facts ARE a wonderful thing, indeed.
@leilanimunter oh wow, it seems like you have it all sussed out, well im a gentleman willing to except im worng if im wrong then its due to the in acuracies of the media in my country, i shall do some more homework on this and try to counter you in the near future! lol just kidding peace! ... but still obama needs to back off with the anti brit mentality and refering to it as british pertololium.
@jester18uk cool. please try to correct the media in the uk if they are reporting it wrong! they must not be fact checking very closely, it happens. peace!
@leilanimunter AFAIK, there's only really one way we could fix this. If we cultured enough of the oil consuming microbes I'd read about, and then literally 3-4 million people walked up to the BP blockade off the coast. BP couldn't stop that many people, so they'd be able to get through and begin dumping the microbes to consume the oil.
@leilanimunter First of all BP is just as much an American company as anything and secondly Tony Hayward HAS to do media interviews because he is CEO of the company. What happened was a tragedy. Do YOU know how to deal with an oil spill? No. Does Obama know how to deal with an oil spill of that magnitude? No. Jesus christ it was an accident what do you people want? Always looking to shift the blame onto somebody.
@leilanimunter The amount spilled by BP in the Gulf is the same amount spilt by oil companies EVERY YEAR for the last 50 years in the Niger Delta, where 30 million people live. The US is perfectly happy to drill there (or let others drill on their behalf), and since the people living there have no political power the oil companies are not forced to clear it up. In some areas there are fires EVERY day, and some people say they have never seen a night in complete darkness.
@leilanimunter Also, do you have any idea how outraged people in India are about the public outcry against BP? Bhopal, 1984: A storage tank in a pesticide plant run by Union Carbide (US) explodes in the middle of the night. A cocktail of gases including Carbon Monoxide, Hydrogen Cyanide, Nitrous Oxides, Hydrochloric Acid, Phosgene and MMA silently enters the surrounding slums, where everyone is asleep. People awake choking, eyes burning, in agony, and flee the area.
@leilanimunter In total, 520,000 people were exposed, including 200,000 children and 3,000 pregnant women. In total, there were around 25,000 deaths (2/3 of which took weeks or even months to die, in agony) along with 180,000 permanent injuries (blindness, destroyed lungs, brain damage etc). The stillbirth rate tripled, and the neonatal mortality rate doubled. To this day, the tank CONTINUES TO LEAK (albeit more slowly), and children are still born with severe birth defects.
@leilanimunter Union Carbide was forced to pay $470 million (they fought every step of the way against the puny $3.3bn demanded) and also built a tiny 500 bed hospital for the survivors (again, they were forced to by the Supreme Court).
I am angered by the oil spill, and don't deny that BEYOND Petroleum fucked up, but far worse things have been done by US companies abroad without America caring. Also google Piper Alpha and note how Margaret Thatcher responded compared to Obama. Peace :)
@jester18uk Amen..thats what im saying..lets stop the blame game and finger pointing and get it fixed and cleaned up..then we can go after them later..I see this as a puposely done event..Just looking at the oil comming out of the pipe..it looks very easily to plug with the technoligy and equipment we have today..And its seem a bit odd the Dick Cheny's buisness was involved as was g. Bushes brother Jeb was in the wirring of the WTC two weeks befor they went down..BP was competetion in the way.
You say that Tony Hayward should spend less time doing 'media interviews' and more time 'cleaning up the spill'.What an infantile thing to say, do you expect him to personally don a deep sea diving suit and take his tool box down to the leak?
They have the best people on the job and I doubt there's much else they can do right now. If he wasn't in front of the camera I'm sure you'd be shouting about why he's hiding from the media! Obviously the guy is in a lose lose situation.
@scottg4520@scottg4520 Your comment reveals that you have fallen for the subconscious propaganda campaign from the global elites that makes you not desire the women from your own country and therefore not reproduce.

I only know this because Alex Jones told me so. Open your eyes dude!!!!!
@RiiDDiiM LITTLE BOY, I am what is known as a MAN. Keep eating your Wheaties and maybe someday you'll be able to do an hour an the treadmill like I just did! LOL
Christ.A bunch of environmental communists preaching to others how to live their lives. The audacity of it all. How these hippies feel they have the right to suggest how others live is beyond a joke. If someone enjoys driving a 4x4 with a supercharged V8 engine that struggles to achieve 10 miles per gallon they should be allowed to do so- without any feeling of guilt. This whore in her $4.99 top and plastic rope tied around her neck with some meaningless piece of crude jewelery can fuck herself.
Christ. Another selfish tinpot dictator preaching how minorities who don't give a stuff about the environment should make life hell for the majority who do.
This articulate lady wearing whatever she damn well chooses - because freedom isn't exclusive to wingnuts - should be applauded. F*** yourself? You know how.
Yeah...ok, fine. Wear your little whale-fin necklace and talk your eco-bullshit with your "i'll bore a hole thru you with my eyes" look. Bottom line, we exist on oil. We're not addicted, we have no choice. "Renewable green energy" DOES NOT WORK. We've subsidized it for 30 years and got bupkis. MEANWHILE, people like you missing and Obama...now the BIGGEST DESTROYER OF THE ENVIRONMENT IN HISTORY...lecture us on "clean energy", when it's really about graft, union paybacks and incompetence.
If WE stop going to the gas station and filling up our cars with that gas, WE could ruin BIG OIL, but that will never happen in my life time. WE just keep on sucking on the oil nipple breast.
"The largest environmental disaster in American history"
Umm... Wade Dump? Dust Bowl? Hanford Site? Love Canal? HIROSHIMA? New River? NAGASAKI? Osborne Reef? Santa Susana Field Laboratory?
I agree with everything else she says though. What pisses me off is Obama's rediculous 'kick the British' attitude. "If you hear someone with a British accent talking about BP, the odds are he is not telling the truth". He should google 'Piper Alpha' and 'Bhopal' and stop his hipocrisy.
@indyfanforlife So if it is CAUSED by Americans as opposed to HAPPENING to Americans then it is fine? I fully support the use of them, but thankyou for exemplifying my Bhopal point (google it btw). I challenge you to find someone who does not consider those bombings part of American history. She didn't say American soil.
great video.. but bp needs to SPEND MORE ON ADVERTISEMENTS SMOOTHING OVER THE SITUATION! we need to now more than ever buy fuel from bp gas stations so they have money coming in to continue operating. the cost of this spill is estimated arouind 300 million dollars a day!. BP files bankruptcy and then its american tax payers that pay for the clean up then all people displaced financially by the spill have no one to sue as they deserve reimbursement from bp only be bp will no longer exist
@frederickus you must go to my page and check out my only video on the subject. watch my video and if you have any brains at all im 100 percent sure you will agree with me. if i dont win you to my way of thinking you have a tough life ahead of you as you unable to reason. the video is only like 2 or 3 minutes long. check it out
@frederickus LOL at you calling anyone a troll, you're the one leaving comments with the sole intention to provoke and gain a reply. You're one stupid fuck aren't you? Acting like a big man behind that computer screen. I bet you're a failure just like your overweight , unemployed father.
@RiiDDiiM A bit off topic, aren't you, little boy! Are you 12, maybe 13 years old? Tha's certainly your mentality. C'mon, your on my age...how old are you, child? LOL
every summer i would always go to the beach since i was 3 and im now 13 and now ive lost the ability to go because of this and now for years i wont go because of the oil in the water, im so angry right now i cant see straight >:(
I grew up on a farm, we weren't wealthy. All the work was done by hand. Not a single machine and the closest thing to a machine was a mower you had to push ( no fuels whatsoever). Yet we got all the work done just as effectively as the neighbors who did have the combines and tractors. That being said, if more americans were willing to make the effort., there would be the solution. Go back to basics.
People, question why your governments are fueling people's addictions for meat, oil, money, stuff etc. Question why your male-birthing -life religions, tell you humans were meant to "DOMINATE THE EARTH".
Question why you have allowed yourselves to be brainwashed into believing male births Life, when the OBVIOUS truth in right infront of your nose. MOTHER BIRTHS LIFE, and yet our global religions have demonized the Sacred Feminine.
Enough of the oil industry! You have ruined the planet and had your day! Let’s make the demand for hydrogen fuel viral, if you want hydrogen instead of oil make it known on the net, let’s start a viral campaign, twitter, FaceBook, MySpace, YouTube it, spread the word, ask others to do the same. If enough of us want it they will have to give it us! We have the technology! Hydrogen fuel now!
@themanwithnoname24 have you seen this ad for the BMW Hydrogen 7? It won't let me post a link in the comments but here is the address: youtube-dot-com/watch?v=scTjAhdIIoI
@themanwithnoname24 Probably should not waste my time but here goes. Among many other dificulties it takes more energy to produce hydrogen than hydrogen delivers.
@themanwithnoname24 bal bala bla all i know is my stock going up and im going make so much profit when this is over im so glad this happend it going make me so rich in fact i hope this never stop
We are writing to express our concerns regarding the Indiana Department of Environmental Management's recent decision to allow BP PLC's Whiting, Indiana facility to increase the amount of ammonia and total suspended solids they can discharge into Lake Michigan daily, and we are writing to ensure that the permit complies with the law. This new permit will allow BP to discharge an average of 1,584 pounds of ammonia and 4,925 pounds of total suspended solids daily into Lake Michigan.
More than 1/3 of all fossil fuels produced in the United States go towards animal agriculture. According to a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the production of one calorie of animal protein requires more than ten times the fossil fuel input as a calorie of plant protein.
@SaveOurPlanetBeVegan True! I've been a vegetarian since I was a kid. A UN study showed that 40% more greenhouse gas emissions come from raising animals for food than all the planes, trains, cars, SUVs, and ships in the world combined. And how about world hunger? If Americans alone reduced their meat consumption by just 10%, it would free up enough land to grow 12 million tons of grain - enough to save the six million children under the age of 5 that die every year as a result of hunger.
Just a thought, how about a NASCAR solar/electric Daytona 500? Start with just electric powered vehicles and evolve it to pure renewable materials over a few years to let the technology evolve. Racing is about innovation, so it’s a perfect match. They have proven electric race cars can be just as fast, if not faster.
Well done Leilani. You're a treasure and thankyou for being so outspoken and direct and for all of your commitment to doing it "otherwise" in your career and personal life. You rock girl!! <3 Prayers for All That Is, much love and success in our efforts during the Correction Times. ~ Ms. M upping her ante now that she's nana to 2
I work only with green sponsors and at Daytona in February had a solar company, a wind power company, an LED lighting company, a green jobs training program, and an energy efficiency company on my car. I have walked away from big money that would have come from environmentally destructive companies. I am also vegetarian (low carbon footprint). In my free time, I lobby for clean energy on Capitol Hill as an Ambassador for the National Wildlife Federation. More here leilanimunter-dot-com/questions
I have a worm farm to compost my food scraps, I have a rainwater collection system, I use solar lighting and am installing solar PV and solar thermal, I recycle everything even at the racetrack when there are no recycle bins I have a bin that I bring to the track so I can bring the recycling home from the track. My racing tshirts are made from recycled plastic bottles - for every size large male t-shirt, we've pulled 5 plastic bottles out of a landfill. More here leilanimunter-dot-com/questions
@QuantumKoala I understand your question. No one is free of a carbon footprint (nor have I never claimed to be) whether you drive a car to work, fly on airplanes or eat meat, no one is perfect. Since '07, I've been adopting an acre of rainforest every time I sit in a race car. If I stopped racing, I wouldn't take a car off the track, I'd be replaced as a driver & lose my ability to talk to 75 million race fans about green living. Full answer here- leilanimunter-dot-com/questions -can't post link
How about we ban NASCAR? They burn how much fuel , use up how many tires (petrol based) , how many plastic (petrol based) body panels do they replace, how much oil does the average racer burn though in their engines? How many plastic cups and other disposable items are made for the express purpose to promote some entertainment that hasn't any real value to the Republic other than act as bread and circus for the modern Roman. Lead by example and quit racing, you have a huge foot print, hypocrite
@QuantumKoala Yeah! Burn the witch! We need more rolling heads, like in good ol' French Republic : it obviously worked wonder, see now there's nothing but equity, fraternity and liberty. -- Or not. Maybe, just maybe, bloody revolutions are a thing of the past and progress is to be made through compromises, alliances and perseverance. -- Human has changed, somewhat, for the better (My Humble Opinion) - Car racing could change too, with the right people in the right place.
While I share your sentiments, you must consider the fact: big oil, along with a very few others run the world. Period. They won't give it up without a fight, and they have hired armies bigger and better financed than Switzerland who answer to no court of law. Votes and petitions don't work, they OWN the politicians. Rights don't matter, they OWN the judges and the cops. It's going to take a lot of people dying, or completely changing the way they live. Which is more likely to happen?
lol! How did you get Paul Tracy to pose as a boat captain? Any other race driver cameos? -- Only joking, Well done report on something gone terribly wrong, thank you so much for being one more voice in the choir. You go, girl.
BP chief executive Tony Hayward's now a criminal corporate gangster guilty of negligent homicide, atrocities against nature, gross dereliction of duty, yet allowed to roam free and jet around talking to media, covering his crimes as best he can. Should be immediately removed from any authority, incarcerated in an orange suit as on Gitmo, interrogated harshly to find all accomplices. Life in chains for him is kind.
Government is run and laws are passed by a very small percentage of the people most of whom are corrupt, connected, addicts to money, power or perversion with uncontrollable urges to rule others. They are junkies. America has the disease of empire decline and this disaster and the authorities reactions is a symptom.
The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who dont do anything about it. Albert Einstein
Nice summary Leilani. Thank you for attaching your voice to this important topic. I was talking with some friends today about how other industries benefit from non-profit oversight of operations and risk management. The petroleum industry does not have this, and as you pointed out it has a large and sophisticated special interest pipeline to assure that its interests are placed significantly above the public interest. While we integrate alternatives, we need better oversight of whats there.
al quaeda CAN fix your problem ... in a jiffy ... they really dont ave a problem with blowing u UP UP and away along with BP ... so call them if u really want your problem FIXED ! if u want to SAVE the planet GET OFF IT
Thank you Leilani. You are an angel. You are one of the few voices nature has. I pray that you have the strength to keep the fight going. I'll try to do my part in my life.
nicely done.
if we all switched to quantum energy we would liberate the world from oil.

If BP fail then alot of pensions will fail and that means alot of inocent people that had no hand in this disaster will ultimately pay the price whilst the fat cats can go to their 5star homes. peace!

@jester18uk Ha! It's the other way around, BP has already destroyed us! They have single handedly wiped out the entire seafood & tourism economy in our Gulf. Half our seafood comes from there. What about all our people whose livelihoods are gone? What about them?! It's not our fault BP has the worst safety record of all the oil companies. In last 3 yrs BP received 760 safety citations across 6 refineries. The other 145 refineries COMBINED in the US received only 1! FACTS are a wonderful thing.

@leilanimunter dont get me wrong my thoughts go out to everyone effected by this and it is a disaster you are quite right in saying that bp have failed however the rig was american owned, had americans operating it, but then obama seems to think this revolve around a british company that america now has the vat majority of shares!. you are right facts are a wonderful thing!
jester18uk 1 year ago
@jester18uk actually, you are wrong again. The rig was owned and operated by Transocean, a Swiss company that pays Swiss taxes. The rig was built in Korea and was registered in the Marshall Islands. And the orders to keep drilling going against the warnings by others on the day of the fateful explosion were given by BP executives. This is directly from survivors that were on the Deepwater Horizon that day. 60 Minutes did the story, you can watch it online. Facts ARE a wonderful thing, indeed.

@leilanimunter AFAIK, there's only really one way we could fix this. If we cultured enough of the oil consuming microbes I'd read about, and then literally 3-4 million people walked up to the BP blockade off the coast. BP couldn't stop that many people, so they'd be able to get through and begin dumping the microbes to consume the oil.

@leilanimunter First of all BP is just as much an American company as anything and secondly Tony Hayward HAS to do media interviews because he is CEO of the company. What happened was a tragedy. Do YOU know how to deal with an oil spill? No. Does Obama know how to deal with an oil spill of that magnitude? No. Jesus christ it was an accident what do you people want? Always looking to shift the blame onto somebody.

@leilanimunter The amount spilled by BP in the Gulf is the same amount spilt by oil companies EVERY YEAR for the last 50 years in the Niger Delta, where 30 million people live. The US is perfectly happy to drill there (or let others drill on their behalf), and since the people living there have no political power the oil companies are not forced to clear it up. In some areas there are fires EVERY day, and some people say they have never seen a night in complete darkness.

@leilanimunter Also, do you have any idea how outraged people in India are about the public outcry against BP? Bhopal, 1984: A storage tank in a pesticide plant run by Union Carbide (US) explodes in the middle of the night. A cocktail of gases including Carbon Monoxide, Hydrogen Cyanide, Nitrous Oxides, Hydrochloric Acid, Phosgene and MMA silently enters the surrounding slums, where everyone is asleep. People awake choking, eyes burning, in agony, and flee the area.
05swanbe 1 year ago
@leilanimunter In total, 520,000 people were exposed, including 200,000 children and 3,000 pregnant women. In total, there were around 25,000 deaths (2/3 of which took weeks or even months to die, in agony) along with 180,000 permanent injuries (blindness, destroyed lungs, brain damage etc). The stillbirth rate tripled, and the neonatal mortality rate doubled. To this day, the tank CONTINUES TO LEAK (albeit more slowly), and children are still born with severe birth defects.

@leilanimunter Union Carbide was forced to pay $470 million (they fought every step of the way against the puny $3.3bn demanded) and also built a tiny 500 bed hospital for the survivors (again, they were forced to by the Supreme Court).
I am angered by the oil spill, and don't deny that BEYOND Petroleum fucked up, but far worse things have been done by US companies abroad without America caring. Also google Piper Alpha and note how Margaret Thatcher responded compared to Obama. Peace :)

@jester18uk Amen..thats what im saying..lets stop the blame game and finger pointing and get it fixed and cleaned up..then we can go after them later..I see this as a puposely done event..Just looking at the oil comming out of the pipe..it looks very easily to plug with the technoligy and equipment we have today..And its seem a bit odd the Dick Cheny's buisness was involved as was g. Bushes brother Jeb was in the wirring of the WTC two weeks befor they went down..BP was competetion in the way.
BudPeters44 1 year ago
You say that Tony Hayward should spend less time doing 'media interviews' and more time 'cleaning up the spill'.What an infantile thing to say, do you expect him to personally don a deep sea diving suit and take his tool box down to the leak?
They have the best people on the job and I doubt there's much else they can do right now. If he wasn't in front of the camera I'm sure you'd be shouting about why he's hiding from the media! Obviously the guy is in a lose lose situation.

I agree with everything else she says though. What pisses me off is Obama's rediculous 'kick the British' attitude. "If you hear someone with a British accent talking about BP, the odds are he is not telling the truth". He should google 'Piper Alpha' and 'Bhopal' and stop his hipocrisy.

@SaveOurPlanetBeVegan True! I've been a vegetarian since I was a kid. A UN study showed that 40% more greenhouse gas emissions come from raising animals for food than all the planes, trains, cars, SUVs, and ships in the world combined. And how about world hunger? If Americans alone reduced their meat consumption by just 10%, it would free up enough land to grow 12 million tons of grain - enough to save the six million children under the age of 5 that die every year as a result of hunger.

How about we ban NASCAR? They burn how much fuel , use up how many tires (petrol based) , how many plastic (petrol based) body panels do they replace, how much oil does the average racer burn though in their engines? How many plastic cups and other disposable items are made for the express purpose to promote some entertainment that hasn't any real value to the Republic other than act as bread and circus for the modern Roman.

While I share your sentiments, you must consider the fact: big oil, along with a very few others run the world. Period.
