Gulf seafood deformities alarm scientists

[Rupert Pupkin]

The most disgraceful thing about the whole thing is that they were allowed to pour 800,000 gallons of the poison dispersant into the gulf. As others have stated, the toxic dispersant may turn out to be a bigger disaster than the oil itself.

I honestly think it was somewhat of a joint conspiracy between BP and the government. They thought they could fool people into thinking the spill wasn't that bad if there wasn't too much visible oil. They didn't really care if the dispersant was dangerous or not. The dispersant makes the oil going down to the bottom of the sea where nobody can see it. The oil being at the bottom of the sea is just as dangerous, if not more dangerous for the ecosystem than if the oil was sitting on top of the ocean. I think it's actually better if the oil is on top of the ocean because at least that can be cleaned up.

The government and BP didn't care how dangerous the dispersant was. I think they were much more interested in having less visible oil for public relations purposes.

I agree with you 100%

There could have been. When scientists came back a couple years ago ? and said all that oil was still there, just rolling around on the bottom, the outcry wasn't what it should have been.

yeah it seemed like once they plugged the hole, everyone just got back on with their normal lives and forgot there were miles of oil plumes floating around in the gulf.

Reporter from Ecowatch claims proof that BP, Exxon, and Chevron colluded to hide facts -

>>>Evidence now implicates top BP executives as well as its partners Chevron and Exxon and the Bush Administration in the deadly cover-up—which included falsifying a report to the Securities Exchange Commission.

Yesterday, Ecowatch.org revealed that, in September 2008, nearly two years before the Deepwater Horizon explosion in the Gulf of Mexico, another BP rig had blown out in the Caspian Sea—which BP concealed from U.S. regulators and Congress.<<<
