The accident at the BP oil rig is a serious accident.
Although it is too early to speculate on the consequences as do many, I intend to watch the attitude of each face of this disaster.
The Eco take this opportunity to repeat ourselves how oil is a bad thing. How offshore drilling should be prohibited. You know the song.
Governments and intellectuals tell us how the pursuit of profit without government control inevitably leads to such disasters. This song also, we know the drill.
What few people see in this accident is the human genius. Some will say, look where it leads us your human genius ... But I do not agree.
Humanity is moving forward, she overpowers technologies tremendous complexity. And drilling in high seas is one. The magnitude of the challenges is daunting but the human subject with a score more than acceptable.
Yes, there are accidents such as that just happened. Yes, the consequences are unfortunate.
But is this a reason to give up?
What would humanity if we abandoned the aircraft in the first plane crash?
If you follow closely all transactions made by BP for the leak, you can still see that this human ingenuity at work. They act rapidly on several fronts simultaneously.
Humanity is moving forward, humanity take risks. Controlled risk, but risks. It is so easy to blame when the accident was a fact, it is so easy to point the finger at risk when they become concrete facts ... But is that humans should avoid any risk so far?
There was a time or take risks was a sign of rationality, courage. Now the risk is considered fraud, a selfish gesture. The notion of risk is more controlled.
analysis of the accident may tell us what were the causes. There will no doubt lessons of risk and safety to be learned.
But those who tell us that this operation would never have existed and this accident is proof that they are fearful, comfortably installed in their well-being. Unable to realize that everything they enjoy welfare is because others before them have gone ahead with the technology and took risks ...
Whether you are green or not, oil is still needed. Even those users of hybrids are consumers.
You saw the impact of a world without airplanes lately with the volcano in the weird name? Come tell me that's the kind of world you want for mankind!
We need that energy, even what time to find a new one that really works. Is it so difficult for everyone to accept reality?
All this means that if you were honest with the reality, your response should be something more like "shit! It's really ugly incident as ... Minimize the damage and try it from happening again. "
and not" Ha! These oil that damned oil! They will pay for their affront. "
The affront is to get you what you want to buy at the best possible price: oil.
