The US government would only hire the same private outfits that the oil company would. The oil company makes billions in profits, the US government is trillions in debt. They don't have any money to fix anything, they spent it all bailing out greedy banks and securing their oil supply in Iraq (oh, meant to say saving the people of Iraq not oil).

Only about 35% of the crude is turned into motor fuels. US production does not meet demand, and much of their crude is imported. In case people didn't know natural gas and gasoline are not even close to being the same thing. Just to help clarify an above post.
This accident could lead to widespread damage in the ecosystem. It's going to cost BP billions to clean this one up. They need to make big profits because there is big risk involved in their business. The chance of a blowout is one of those risks. Why is it I've heard far more reports about the ecosystem, and costs of this accident, than the 11 souls that were lost in the accident. RIP. Everyone of us is partly responsible for this accident. We ALL use fossil fuels.

Yes we all do. 100%. But what we need to realize is we don't HAVE to. We don't HAVE to live in cities. We can grow our own food and use alternative fuels & methods to produce energy. We can all together avoid plastics and other products that use fuels. There are people that do it:
http://urbanhomestead.org/journal/ If we continue to live in our modern day society, which most of us will, then we need to take our usage waaaayyyy back. It is possible- quit waiting for the future. If we don't do it now then we might as well enjoy our environment while it lasts, because we will be the last generation to experience it. We are poisoning our planet and ourselves. -Diana
