Thom Hartman: Oil spill...Every Plant & Tree Died

[thomhartmann]

Tyson Slocum, Public Citizen's Energy Program, joins thom Hartmann. Alberta - Canada has averaged two crude oil spills every day for the past 37 years - and that doesn't even take into account spills of other types of toxic materials. Is the Obama administration willing to let the same thing happen right here in the United States?

1. I'm sorry, but what the fuck is this:

Is the Obama administration willing to let the same thing happen right here in the United States?

I am so weary of this shit.

2. Are you? Wait unti the tar sands pipeline is in operation.

This is toxic stuff.

3. You are intentionally missing my point.

4. It's unclear what you're referring to as "shit"

5. Energy companies have to file a spills clean up manual with the Minerals Office of

the Department of the Interior. There was a Moratorium until the Energy companies in the Gulf of Mexico prepared and presented an appropriate Spills Clean up manual with their application to the Minerals Office right after the BP Blow out in April 2010. Once they presented an appropriate method, the applications to proceed with drilling was renewed.

Could someone do a report on their manuals for the leak of tar sands mixture?

Who will pay and how much will they pay for clean up? Or will it be the responsibility of the American taxpayers to clean it up? Has the Obama Administration changed its policy?
