Yes i said it correct
BP / Transocean Oil Spill
BP made irresponsible cost saving decisions which lead to the Mocando well becoming unstable
Transocean made irresponsible cost saving decisions which lead to the safety equipment failure to contain the unstable well
BOTH ARE EQUALLY RESPONSIBLE
The government should fine both BP & Transocean each seperately $ 4,300 per barrel of oil per day
Federal laws provide for a fine of $ 4,300 dollars PER BARREL / PER DAY to be fined against offshore polluters
Consequently both BP AND Transocean should each pay 100% of the applicable fine
Do not split the fine between the 2
Don not reduce the fine because there are 2
Fine BOTH 100% of the maximum fine to send a clear message that environmental pollution to benifit operating cost and operational safety are not acceptable
And will be punished
