Quoting: RTS REDUX Obama Energy Policy Allows China, Castro to Drill Closer to U.S. than American Firms October 19, 2011 Origins of the phrase “inside the Beltway” stem from the relatively small 64-mile Interstate loop that encircles the Washington, D.C. metro area. If that small figure sounds familiar, it’s because it’s about the same distance between the U.S. coast line and an estimated 5 to 20 billion barrels of oil. With oil prices hovering around $86 a barrel and the U.S. labor market remaining persistently tight, American companies (and the new workers they could employ) would undoubtedly benefit from competing for a potential windfall so close to our shores. But we’re not. Instead, it’s Cuba that will begin drilling for oil 60 miles off the Florida Keys using a rig made in China, owned and operated by a Spanish oil company, and partnered with the Castro regime. [link to fuelfix.com] U.S. to let American firms respond to any Cuban oil spills October 18, 2011 The United States is paving the way for American firms to respond to any oil spills from drilling set to begin off Cuba’s northern coast later this year, an Obama administration official told the Senate today.

They make water purification systems and chemical dispersants. NALCO is based in Chicago with subsidiaries in Brazil, Russia, India, China and Indonesia. NALCO is associated with UChicago Argonne program. UChicago Argonne received $164 million dollars in stimulus funds this past year. UChicago Argonne just added two new executives to their roster. One from NALCO. The other from the Ill. Dept of Educaution. If you dig a little deeper you will find NALCO is also associated with Warren Buffett, Maurice Strong, Al Gore, Soros, Apollo, Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, Hathaway Berkshire. Warren Buffet /Hathaway Berkshire increased their holdings in NALCO just last November. (Timing is everything). The dispersant chemical is known as Corexit. What it does is hold the oil below the water's surface. It is supposed to break up the spill into smaller pools. It is toxic and banned in Europe. NALCO says they are using older and newer versions of Corexit in the Gulf.. (Why would you need a newer version, if the old one was fine?) There is big money and even bigger players in this scam. While they are letting the oil blow wide open into the Gulf, the stakes and profit rise. much more @ [link to www.blogster.com] Good post Redux, they play us like a symphony huh?

Civil litigation, the largest ever, is due to start next February but in the meantime, the US Department of Justice continues to investigate. This is why the Anadarko settlement was a big deal. The payment “is credible evidence that BP is not grossly negligent,” says Jon Rigby, analyst at UBS. The settlement also allows BP to end its payments into the $20 billion (£12.5 billion) compensation trust it set up after the spill. These will finish in 2012, a year ahead of schedule."" [link to www.express.co.uk] ""The most radical option for BP would be a break-up, splitting the downstream refining and marketing from the upstream exploration and production operations. Analysts estimate that BP can add between £60 billion and £90 billion to its value if it hived off its less profitable activities."" And the poor get poorer.
