Paul McCartney called the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico a “disgrace” and “terrible.” At the top of the video he also said President Obama is a "great guy." But what interest me is the statement he made about BP. See the video.
When asked what he thinks of the Gulf oil spill he says. “It’s a disgrace. I think the fact that something like that could happen and the people who are to blame don’t have the ability to instantly cap it and clean it up, it’s something that’s got to be addressed.”
That is the key point about off shore drilling. If the oil companies can't cap a busted well, quickly, they shouldn't be drilling off shore. I am now opposed to off shore drilling because America can not trust the oil companies to drill safely, to follow the regulations in place. But now I add this to my reasons for opposing off shore drilling .
