There's nothing wrong what he said. BP has an enormous war chest full of resources and if they used some of it back in 2007 to try and increase environmental awareness while encouraging research into alternative bio-sustainable forms of energy then more power to that objective. This should have nothing to do with the lax security measures that caused this current catastrophe. It's annoying when people start dredging up old videos to try to muddy the waters of an already convoluted situation.

besides, BP drilled close to 40 thousand feet into the ocean floor, which is way pass the legal limit!! the pressure at that depth reaches between 20 - 70 thousand psi at least! there is no technology that exists today that can withstand that kind of pressure! fyi, bp may say it's fixed the "leak", and shut off all the cameras, but the fact is that the gulf floor in that region is breaking apart in MULTIPLE areas, and all hell is breaking lose - as we speak!

[Myaucat]

absurd. BP takes full accountability when it possesses and chooses to use the equipment as per the contract between the two parties. if transocean agreed to take liability for every accident that happened with its equipment, it would be out of business in no time. even a child could understand that. no equipment is 100% full-proof! the party that CHOOSES to use that equipment aquires the liability. even matt simmons said that!

[itwillbealright]

@seraphimra BP is not accountable for the failing equipment in that particular instance because the owners of the actual equipment was a company called "Transocean" which should have tested and removed any leaking or faulty equipment as per their contractual agreement with BP. The leaking equipment was actually shut-down and an auxiliary gear was relied upon. You can point all the fingers that you want but the bottom line is that it won't clean up the waters.

@dhymers why did ObaMao's hand picked MMS executive grant BP passes and waivers on reg violations days before disaster?.....get over it Bush and Cheney are not in charge anymore ,your manchild ObaMao is ...

worthless treasonous commie progressives spewing talking point propaganda like good little workers

[dhymers]

@Youtoo2128 Oh, and for shiggles, the University of California was actually the biggest contributor to Obamas 2008 campaign, at 1.6 million dollars.

[dhymers]

@Youtoo2128 Oh, and as for being too stupid to research the facts, the sources for my original comments where provided in the comment - Politifact and Opensecrets, a simple look at these sites would have proved my comment. BP doesn't even appear in the top 20 contributors. Further information can be looked at on Reuters.
