    High profits, at any cost. This is disgusting. Taking totally avoidable risks with the environment for the mighty buck.

    These Oil companies are still ruling the ecomony and survival of all. That is why GM is going bankrupt and that is why the ecomony is having such a hard time picking up. The inventions of travel keep getting stopped by the under the table lobbying of these corporations. Not just here but in other nations as well. The only change I have seen in our country is the change of names and job titles, in our government. Lots of pretty speeches but the same old thing, just worded differently.

      These greedy bastards have no moral concern for our environment when it comes to profits,and our procrastination on eco friendly alternatives have given them leverage against us !
