bp oil spill beaches

While the Gulf Coast and the whole nation is waiting for a cessation of BP oil leak in the Gulf, causing a problem every time. We were able to put a man on the moon, why not close the flight condemned?

Before we can try to understand, we must put the events perspective.

By May 1961, President Kennedy asked Congress to fund a program for the first landing of humans on the moon in an effort to try Eclipse feat of communist Soviet Union to conduct the first manned space flight in April 1961. Reaction was fast, well designed, and was climbing to the work by hand. A learned and fully operational U.S. Congress has approved funding speed necessary.

Eight years later, two U.S. astronauts landed on the moon, while a third remained in orbit with the satellite. The astronauts returned safely. In 2007, the agency, the cost of NASA's moon vaccines in U.S. $ 170 billion in current dollars. Clearly it is impossible to wait eight years before the leak can be stopped BP. U.S. is also a serious fiscal crisis and irresponsible institutions Financial destroyed the U.S. economy and transformed the U.S. Congress with influence peddling a large scale.

The adoption of strict security measures were derailed by a fever "Drill baby drill" campaign and members of Congress, which believe that the U.S. finance and energy companies should be regulated and can not be hampered by strict rules to prevent crises or financial guarantee to prevent disasters from coal mines in the lands of the United States and drilling rigs in the waters off United States. It is difficult for them to argue that taxpayers are still paying for the sins of the greedy and irresponsible authority. After all, there are many industries that continue to perform admirably, and are equally bad for business failures irresponsible, greedy, incompetent and supervised areas.

While it is quite inexcusable that disasters can be avoided easily allows this to happen, in deference the demands of pressure groups. In all cases, the cost of disaster prevention are incomparably lower than the damage from catastrophic events are at the origin.

It is undeniable that the relatively moderate cost (two% of the Moon NASA vaccine) significantly reduced even eliminated the BP oil spill. Grievous mistakes have been made on the BP oil platform and proved to be everything completely clueless how to respond to its huge oil leak. The first efforts were clearly incompetent closure.

There are lessons our nation and our government has to learn and remember in future to avoid recurrence.

– Rule # Moody's 1: If something can go wrong, eventually.

– Do not give an untrained human being ever able to take a risky decision. Search Las Vegas to enjoy the love that human beings unfavorable ratings difficult to maintain without restrictions.

– Any attempt by the commercial risks, which may cause substantial damage to the general public, must be analyzed in detail. Failure modes should be defined, risks must be quantified, and cons-measures must be ready for immediate deployment and effective.

– Firefighters are trained to respond to emergencies with fire responses that have been previously taught exercises.

– The Coast Guard U.S. or another new agency created shall form the emergence of implementation units that are capable of containing leaks submerged near the water leak cleaning oil spills surface treatment of feathers in the water of oil, protection of beaches near wetlands and coastal clean manually damaged assets.

Military units deployed should have ready access to equipment, procedures and logistical support to respond to emergency calls in the hours and be ready to start instantly deploy equipment protection, ships, and highly effective skimming devices.

Immediately respond to oil spills and contain the spread of oil spills is by far the most powerful and least expensive measure for keeping the economic damage to a minimum.

Obviously This conclusion was not reached by the leadership of BP, the U.S. Coast Guard, or the Obama administration.
