BP Impact, The Truth

BP Oil Spill Still Impacting the Gulf 9/5/2012

2012-09-05T08:15:00.000-04:00

"The US justice department is blaming BP PLC for the massive 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, describing in new court papers examples of what it calls "gross negligence and willful misconduct".

The court filing is the sharpest position yet taken by the US government as it seeks to hold the British oil giant largely responsible for the largest oil spill, as well as the largest ever environmental disaster, in US history..."

2012-03-22T13:59:00.000-04:00

Two years later after the horrible incident, and they are finally getting their punishments under the Clean Water Act. They report says that BP will be fined anywhere from $5.4 billion to $21.1 billion depending on the degree of negligence. "Clean Water Act fines typically go into a fund to pay for oil spill cleanup costs and damages, but under the Senate provision 80 percent of the fines would be divided among Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and Texas." The Senate vote was split 76-22, which is a large victory for environmental restoration agencies. For more information read the article here.

BP Oil Spill Not Covered by Transocean Insurance

2011-11-18T11:47:00.000-05:00

A New Orleans judge has ruled that BP Plc’s 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill is not covered by the insurance the company holds with Transocean Ltd.

Following the oil spill in 2010, BP filed claims with the carriers of Transocean Insurance, seeking a payment of $750 million from their numerous policies with the insurer. Several excess underwriters, with Lloyd’s of London and Ranger Insurance, the primary insurer of Transocean, contested BP’s claims, saying that the contract between BP and the owner of the rig did not include this protection.

8/12/2011. You would think that all of the oil from the BP oil spill is cleaned up since that is what the government and mainstream media have been telling us. Witnesses expose the oil still washing up on shores and innocent people swimming in the toxic water.

Citizens swim in the contaminated water. The oil that was claimed to have disappeared is still washing up on shores along the coast. These vacationers are all unsuspecting victims of the BP oil spill.

August 10, 2011. The oil still washes up on shores and kills wildlife. How long will we let this last? We are sitting back and watching our planet get destroyed because we have so many distractions. If we didn't have computers, television, ipods, and other gadgets to keep us busy we would be outraged because our concerns would be going towards something that effects our country, not only our personal lives.

2011 and the Oil Still Persists

Despite the constant reassurance from the government and the mainstream media. Citizens living along the coast expose the crude oil still washing up on beaches.

Want is Going on in America!?

2011-04-10T23:49:00.000-04:00

Gas prices have been out the roof since the BP oil spill. We can't keep relying on oil because we are depleting our sources faster than we can generate them. Also another oil spill in the ocean would be devastating to the Earth. It's already bad enough that millions of people are exposed to it all along the coast. The problem is that nobody with all the money is doing anything. While we sit back and let companies like BP destroy our earth for only a few years supply of gas, they continue to make a profit and keep drilling.

This is a new era and no other generation has grown up on complete technology. I remember getting a computer in fourth grade. Kids are being grown up on computers and given cell phones in elementary school! America was founded by hardworkers and now kids are just handed ipods and laptops like its nothing. We have so many distractions that we fail to recognize what is going on beyond our personal lives. Without all of this technology everyone would be more in sync and cooperate better as a whole because people would be more concerned with community than personal lives.

We have not had a financial crisis since the Great Depression, and a similar issue exists today. The unemployment rate is not nearly as bad but we have gone from a producer country to a consumer country. We import more goods than we export. We need to start producing so we can sell products to other countries and make more money. We are sending all our companies across sea when we should be strengthening the economy at home.

Deepwater Permits Issued With No Lessons Learned

2011-03-24T23:34:00.003-04:00

In a TRMS Investigates exclusive, Rachel Maddow shows that the Department of the Interior is issuing deepwater drilling permits despite a report finding that blow-out preventer design is flawed and despite drilling companies submitting emergency response plans that pre-date the Deepwater Horizon spill and therefore reflect none of the lessons of that disaster.
