Ironic occurrence

The Minerals Management Service and the Coast Guard said Saturday they would hold the first public hearings of their joint investigation Tuesday and Wednesday in New Orleans into the circumstances of the Deepwater Horizon accident. As of Saturday evening, MMS had not released a list of witnesses that will testify.

In a cruel twist of irony, Suttles confirmed Saturday that several senior BP staff members, including its vice president for Gulf drilling, were on board the rig during the accident because they were commemorating 2,500 consecutive days without a significant safety incident on the Deepwater Horizon.

Of 126 people aboard, BP's six employees were among 115 people who survived the incident.

Again the total BS put out by big american oil companies that there is an energy shortage.
There is no energy shortage, just an oil shortage, and since the american economy is based on oil they are in big shit.

There is problem making methane hydrates into a safe energy resource. Just like the problem with gasoline 100+ years ago. The japanese are researching heavy in this field, and have for years been buying up reserves.

When japan figures out how to use this stuff, it will be another nail in the coffin of the american empire.
