BP has a natural egoist interest to number the ammount of oil freed into the environment as low as possible. the compensation they will need to pay depends on it. For the same reason they used those toxic chemicals to "dissolve" the oil on the surface although the toxicv agents most likely do as much damage to the eco-system if not more. Also interesting is that an agent was used that is beign produced by a BP daughter, while another agent said to be less dangerous and cheaper, was ignored until the authorities intervened. the oil flowing under water and on the bottom of the ocean, being moved by deep sea currents, is muczh, much more. the use of the chemicals is a comsetic trick, again with one eye on the compensation payments they will need to make.

Oil business is possibly the most corrupted business in the american economy, beside weapoins and defence. The state's control auhtorities for security can be expected - and are described as by insiders - to be as corrupted by big money as well.

I thought that maybe this disaster would be big enough in scale now to make America rethink it's oil obsession. But it seems the pain from this one still is not bad enough. Maybe it needs the whole Atlantic coast being covered with black grease indeed. But something tells me that even that would not be enough to make people change their minds - at least as long as they do not have to eat it.

But they will eat it anyhow, invisibly. But as the saying goes: "out of sight, out of mind".
