I am sure the company could have done without the publicity and financial losses.
Whilst the world has such a ravenous demand for oil and gas compamies will step in to supply it.
Most of us would like to see these pristine areas retained as was but it is not going to happen. Finding a satisfactory mix is the best we can hope for.
No matter what the cause plugging a deep ocean well can not be done with Blu Tak. It is a marvel of engineering that it can be done at all.
It does horrify me to see the pollution from this disaster as does the burning of the Amazon rain forests, ugly open pit mining and many other equally destructive enterprises to service our needs and wants.
We are all to blame to some degree.
