The BP oil spill

The article (click here to view article) is very biased towards BP. This article only talks about the negative externalities BP has created through its course; it does not provide all the positive things that BP has provided for us. Working in an oil rig is a life threatening job; therefore people do die in their jobs and its part of the job. “In 2006… BP now has a total wind generation capacity of nearly 15,000 megawatts… sufficient to provide power to approximately 15,000,000 typical American households…”BP may have caused the Gulf’s worst oil spills in history but it also is the largest generators of wind power in the world. In addition, the oil spill this great was not expected, it could have happened to any other oil companies out in the World. BP was just unlucky. At depths of 4,593 feet down the sea, divers were unable to dive and scientists had to rely heavily on technology. Therefore this cost them more time and more money before fully putting the cap on. A chain of unlucky events have caused BP a great toll.
