Re: Obama Biggest Recipient Of BP Cash
BP oil spill: “Bush administration allowed safety precautions to be circumvented”
energyoilUnited States.While US senators grill BP over the ongoing oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, it has emerged that it was the US government itself - under George W. Bush - which allowed oil companies to leave out a safety device which would have prevented the explosion on 20 April. An American environmentalist tells us: "Our politicians are beholden to the oil companies". well, first?

Two newspapers reported Friday that drilling plans received approval from the Obama administration without the permits required under the Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act. The Washington Post and New York Times said the approvals included the Deepwater Horizon rig, which exploded last month, killing 11 people and leading to the spill of millions of gallons of oil. |
