As far as I know energy industry is well aware, and very sensitive about ecology, social perception. Disasters were part of human experience in the past, and it seems present time is also producing undesirable results.<br />Energy industry is not only essential in terms of standard of living we enjoy at this time, but also has the capacity, intellectual, as well as economic, to provide variety of solutions.<br />Almost all accidents are in the category of "preventable". It's easy to say, make such claims, but we need to treat Earth as home with limited capacity to absorb byproducts <br />of economic activity, which is not only evident, but alarming. <br />Above accident will also produce additional, unique expertise, solutions, which is very typical for our species. Every experience accelerate innovation, new approach, sometimes solutions, from which many future generations will benefit. Personally I prefer <br />"non accidental" progress, innovation, especially with regard to human survival. <br />The paramount principle of Eco system, climate, nature, wildlife is to provide <br />sufficient platform to sustain life, <br />and enrich perception beyond basic needs. <br />Let's hope that every lesson we learn from our experience, will produce long lasting solution.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Mark J.

I have not seen a sophisticated and smart approach to this problem on their part. <br /><br />I have a solution in mind for them, but did not hear back from them when I contacted BP.<br /><br />Manochehr GordbegliAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00587067623498097973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5251183560375528307.post-30527075452339055032010-05-04T14:25:49.251-05:002010-05-04T14:25:49.251-05:00Are there more disasters involving rigs in the dee...Are there more disasters involving rigs in the deep sea, or those on land?
