The more they collaborate, the more it frightens governments. Norway is the prime example of holdout. Norway told Exxon, if you won't give us 80% we don't deal. It's the same with this indemnity against damages in Australia. Doesn't it stand to reason if the Australian Government were to say we say what happens in such a deal, these oil companies wouldn't be able to stand not extracting? They have oil running in their vains. Without it, they cannot exist. It's time oil companies were challenged. It is nothing but disgusting the way governments are playing cowards with regards the environment. A.

Whenever Big Oil has an intractible, potentially lethal mess on its hands, there's always a magic cure - that never seems to materialize.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-8106080595968800152009-09-18T19:23:21.661-07:002009-09-18T19:23:21.661-07:00And what about that other ticking time bomb underg...And what about that other ticking time bomb underground, the tailings ponds leaking into the Athabasca watershed? At "Canadasoilsands.ca", the oil companies admit that it will take years just to empty out the toxic water, before any work can even begin. Then the land will be "reclaimed" by reforesting with mixed forest which will also take decades to mature. Of course, the original ecosystem can never be restored.LMAnoreply@blogger.com
