Just an add to the last blog about the tragedy of the fast moving black sludge currently washing up dead turtles in Louisiana. It was only last month that arguably the most powerful man in the world, President Obama, proudly claimed that oil rigs are safe. This was, of course, in order to justify his position on offshore drilling.
The smooth talking, visionary President, speech maker of our times, said in that all confident voice we have come to recognise and depend on -I don’t agree with the notion that we shouldn’t do anything. It turns out, by the way, that oil rigs today generally don’t cause spills. They are technologically very advanced. Even during Katrina, the spills didn’t come from the oil rigs, they came from the refineries onshore.
So can we trust this man any further. His words will live to haunt him as death is washed up on his country’s beaches and the consequences of his policy reverberate for years to come. Let’s hope his current drive to dismantle the world’s nuclear weapons doesnt bite back as well, with even bleaker consequences.
