What have we learned ,so far, from the BP-Gulf oil spill?

BP can not be trusted in the vital environment, either by what they say or what they do.


The current standard of B.O.P.s is unsatisfactory ,,,and yet little is being done to improve this critical piece of equipment.


Kevin Costner was right,,,for over 20 years !!,,,he has better oil clean-up technology in his oil centrifuge units than the Big Oil Industry !!


Oil Dispersal chemicals, unlike the Exxon Valdez-Alaska oil spill, should not have been used, and certainly not the most toxic ones when safer ones were on the shore.


The Feds should have taken charge IMMEDIATELY tho it is curious neither the Pres. Obama nor the Congress was keen on the idea.  A poor environmental stewardship score for all three !!


If oil leaks are happening all the time,,,hundreds of gallons/barrels a month worldwide, then who should set a higher standard for clean-up. Certainly not the Oil Industry. Nor the President. Maybe the U.N. ?


The USA Nation and public should be encouraged to submit ideas to improve technology, strategy for spills, and other related ideas,,,with PRIZE MONEY and a AWARD. Let it be a world wide invitation !!
