We find ourselves in the punish mindset today or am I missing a point? Yes as a nation we are frustrated at the situation in the gulf. I would like to see more teamwork going forward.
For some reason people here are expecting to hold dividends of a foreign company. That is pretty scary talk. The need of dividends to be issued by BP is far greater then the volume of money they represent. Massive forced sell offs of BP will be required which will only weaken the company and that is in no way beneficial to the larger picture of funding the cleanup over decades. These forced sell offs will be through investment funds that will effect retirements in either 401K or IRA environments. The funds have rules that every stock must pay dividends. If we "stop" this from happening it will be a much bigger problem we CREATE for not only ourselves but for the world. I think we need to attempt to pull BP out of running the show. I would like to see our President take control of BP USA. I would like to see the top companies who fix these problems brought in instead of just one set of engineers who are part of BP, and they have to deal with costs etc. Lastly we need to relax environmental controls to allow diverse treatment techniques to what has leaked already. The do not harm, 100% effective requirement could be scaled back to say 75% or more and we might get a lot more of this mess contained and dealt with. What are they going to do with it is one area that I have not heard much about. That tremendous volume is already out of control. Can they burn it, or is to too waterlogged for combustion? Have the disbursement chemicals rendered it highly toxic if burned? If they did the hay game or man made fibers could that be burned in the middle of the gulf aboard a series of ships? -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer CIMSgts 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
