Bill GreenAMERICA'S GREED IS THE PLANET'S TOUCHSTONE

America's greed, that is now reflected in all countries, is responsible for the oil explosion in the Gulf.
BP executives felt the well could give more oil, and therefore, without any thought of safety, or the intricate problems of taking oil from such deep water, demanded more production. The crew on the oil rig strove to produce more.
And then the oil exploded.
The result is the future destruction of the coasts of four US states (so far) and will obviously decimate Mexico's coastline, although there has been no speculation in the US media. Others say the oil will creep around Florida's panhandle and begin to ruin eastern states.
It could be a huge warning against greed but no one recognises the greedy instinct hiding in the normal taking of resources. The plan is to take as much as possible, as often as possible, as soon as possible, whilst sticking to the
recommendations in a report the industry funded.
