As we watch the story of the BP saga unfold, seems like we’re not really hearing a great deal about some of the good news.
With all those profits we keep hearing about, we rarely hear about the amount of risk that they take in getting that oil out of the ground and getting it to the pump cheaper than bottled water. Replacing 75% of their pipes in Prudoe Bay will not be cheap, but is necessary to get the oil flowing.
Secondly, the safeguards worked, the pipe issue was discovered, pipes were shut down, the system worked. Of course, once again, it would have been better for those devout left leaning environmental organizations if much more of the environment had been damaged.
But ANWAR is still off limits. . . .
