Happy Anniversary

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mark-kurlansky/bp-oil-spill-anniversary_b_851304.html

This blog post from the Huffington Post was written on the one year anniversary of the BP oil spill by Mark Kurlansky. The author compares the BP oil spill to the nuclear disaster in Fukushima. He discusses how quickly the general public forgets about one disaster and moves on to the next. He exemplifies this point with the idea that the nuclear power plant was spewing radiation into the atmosphere long before it the contaminated fluids were dumped into the ocean. He goes on to discuss that even though the oil spill appears to be cleaned up on the surface, it is still uncertain what long term effects that disaster will have on the ocean. Kurlansky then blames companies such as the ones responsible for building nuclear power plants and offshore drilling for the damages they are causing. They are taking these risks without having a realistic plan to respond to these accidents/disasters. He then turns his focus on people’s greed of energy. He states that, “people would rather energy wantonly than assure their own safety and the preservation of the planet.” With this being said, do you think the author is suggesting these changes need to start with the general population changing their way of life or by creating legislation that will restrict the risks that energy companies can take, thus adversely affecting the way people live their lives?
