the white house is i'm going to go ahead and give the go-ahead to sell oil
seadrill and the fragile extremes of the arctic
uh... u_s_ off thank god
position and upward network of it is in heaven of contract so
this is a relief to see those four guys finally to catch a break one seems
rather insane just two years less than one about two years exactly after that
the people will disaster in the gulf you know deepwater drilling has uh... very
particular requirements disability
shallow drilling up in the beaufort sea in the chat keep check
took cc tightened to say
uh... that they're going to go out there they had a specially designed to break
that they took to seattle in a it it's a great tests i noticed absolutely certain
that nothing could possibly go bronte any case what's up ever even though of
course we had the exxon valdez oil spill that was just chipping tanker that ran
aground
that spilled eleven million barrels of oil and uh... once pristine puget sound
and of course it's never recovered
the problem with the arctic if you don't know this yet is that yes it was once
frozen now with global warming and climate change it is not in quite a bit
more and there's a big resource battle going on right now as all of the
different countries that have territory in the arctic are
fighting uh... not really fighting their intensifying their negotiations over who
gets to get to those bast
resources and at the arctic like boil
and it's been a really big defended it's been a huge difficulty be environmental
groups have been trying to prevent
uh... the lawsuits in any other manner possible to prevent
this arctic drilling from going on because
what we know now
based on uh...
and that coast guard saying that they really aren't ready the coast guard has
warned
it is so were to happen
we'd have nothing
we're starting for brown zero today
the
upstairs help
and this is richard well let's go to private industry his affidavit this
thing figured out i mean
if this had to be a spelling initial study the elimination so figured out
the settlers of london of preserving the signature of sport in the united
finances reviving is highly sensitive to damage
and that the risk is hard to manage
and hands
they will not be sure any of that ruling
physically
the potential damages catastrophic
they would want to cover it
so and they think that the chances are pretty high or high enough
they don't want to risk it
and so they say okay you know what i didn't do it the government analyst
right and you know when they say let the government helen you know they're really
talking about here really is finding insurance backstop roll this gonna be us
also quarts of course
his because it is
and don't worry though
little coast guard says
but we don't really have back-up plan and even insurance guys war covered at
all even if they may be a lot of money from it whose normality which are to
justify it
that received a gift think about that person
we have to take that risk we don't get the water what will happen is that the
war
envision discovery so you can't paying enough to take that risk
that's amazing right but don't worry i think your sector cancels a sizzling
she'll forward
uh... winds is quote
unbelievable
there's not going to be an oil spill
a hall of dead welding problem software could possibly go around bucket love dad
since you got it covered
that is the same cancels our when the risks are doing but really began in the
gulf coast
and they said uh... will emerge is advisable point was we took this break
to make sure that you figure out how to contain the oil spill et cetera so as
soon as taking care of now because you're palladium trillion
that's a work in progress
in other words
they have no play
you pled
the missiles again we were in massive drogba don't work is not going to school
president obama poorest eighteen days before
that
catastrophic
uh... spilled the beach we have a real close had said when he was reauthorized
the even more truly
oil-rich today gently don't cause spills
yeah
abuse
it's either
so anti-buchanan progresses wonder why we get for us the progress of the
democrats wonder
why we get frustrated
at present no bob
so what part of this is protecting the environment
one part of this is for dresses what part of this is not insane when you
think about it i mean yeah there's all of this money that supposed to be
available as old as all l that's there now if we don't open it although we've
got well somebody else is going to go in and there's going to take it from a so
we ended up in prayer as fast as possible
you know that the serious issue though is that because her doesn't have any
infrastructure there
of one of the other bins at at what happened to some is testimony is that
they're art
places for people to stay
overnight
and barrow alaska
they would have no place to put anybody
might be there to fight and oil spill or it would need to cap
say i don't know a deep waters
alloy well that's gone crazy and then blown-up and and and is gushing oil
everywhere
the nearest coast guard cutter is a thousand miles away
but i think that that was acquitted
he it was hard to cap it well in the gulf coast
now imagine at the nearest held with a thousand miles away
any guy kapiti
enough arctic first
composure let's say in the middle of next year when there's a middle of a
huge storm arm got ice floes ice floes that are like
icebergs actually can come crashing into things
and there's also an additional problem for if you're a fisherman out in alaska
say in how the guys on deadliest catch for example
if they need help if they're out there stranded well i'm sorry we can't help
you 'cause the coast guard all their stuff is over there trying to take care
is all else bill that might has never gonna happen of course
