So President Obama wants to have clean energy instead of oil, noone is interested.

All of a sudden there is an oil leak that dispite coming after years of oil leaks that were capped in fairly short order, is uncapable for weeks, and causes an environmental disaster, suddenly putting clean energy back on the agenda.

And the oil company responisble has no ties to america, just to make it nice and plausably deniable.

BP is a multinational corporation though and America has plenty of interests and control in it. Hardly blameless then. Obama is a shill as well and I don't pay attention to anything he says since he has failed to live up to pretty much anything he said.

Also:

"When disaster strikes, the U.S. will NEVER take the blame," rages Michael Hanlon, the Mail's science correspondent and erstwhile climate change denier. According to Hanlon, the U.S. walked away from Bhopal, defended Exxon rather than its own citizens in Alaska, and tried to get away with paying Britain a mere $50 in the wake of the 1966 Torrey Canyon oil spill. We, meanwhile, kept the upper lip stiff when the U.S.-owned Piper Alpha rig burned down off Aberdeen in 1988, killing 150 Brits and taking out 10 percent of North Sea oil production.


Stirring stuff. But as comedian Bill Bailey pointed out recently, "when you read an article in the Daily Mailand think, 'They've got a bloody good point', your life is effectively over and you should give up immediately."

The US government has been in bed with the oil companies for years and years.

Good old deregulation...

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
