Over 11,000 Guardsmen have been sent to clean up an oil company's mess, when they could be fighting our enemies and protecting America. Just another reason we need clean energy reform.

    I would consider companies that behave like BP (and Monsanto, Wal*Mart, DIck Cheney, Plum Creek, or any other that puts profits before people's safety and the environment) to be an enemy of America.

    The ad is well put-together, and gets the point across - except for the fact that half of our fighting "over there" is over oil!

    Pretty stupid they didn't have triple-redundant safety shut-off. The gov't needs to focus more on safety and less on prostitutes and parties (i.e., Bureau of Mines.) Just like wall street/Madoff thing - why were people not PUT IN JAIL for gross negligence? Harry Markopolos REPEATEDLY told the SEC over a 9 year period it was a scam. They did nothing. We need to stand up to these a-holes in our gov't and get back to honesty and integrity in the things we do. No, it's not DICK CHENEY's fault.

    If there were an alternate fuel to use or method, shit, wouldn't we be using it? Lets face it, without oil our world would come to a screeching halt!

    Perhaps BP should not drill in USA territory.

    I like the part "if not now, when?" Seriously, I can't take the excuse "oh no we can't do it becuase our economy is in the shitter." It doesn't matter. We need to do it. We've been promised a reduced dependence on oil for 30 years now. And through times of surplus and deficit, the people in power have buckled under the pressure.

    hanegake, that is one of the things this young man points out. This kind of thing is what our National Guard should be doing instead of serving as a work-around draft because the armed forces can't recruit enough bodies to send overseas. I applaud the vets who are standing up and speaking out about the truth of what we as a nation are doing. People who complain about costs of developing clean energy: oil, coal, and nuclear have been subsidized from day one.

    A national clean energy intitaive wouldn't just levy an outright tax to accomplish, it would also tax everyone with:

    * Higher engergy bills

    * Businesses moving production overseas in large numbers, meaning lost revenue and lost jobs

    * Replacing more private sector jobs with government sector ones

    * Strengthening an environmental lobby which is de facto anti-progress

    Also, more production overseas would mean a net less clean world, probably much less cleaner = not really green at all.
