It was only recently that the oil companies were telling us that putting rigs on the Great Barrier Reef would be safe, well I've got something to say, as we all should now, not only should they not be in environmental area's all rigs must be supervised under an international body of safety, and even the slightest hint of problems should mean a shut down until exit strategies can be adopted that work.

I feel for the Americ's today, a disaster of monumental proportions, but this is a world wide problem, that needs to be tackled from the top down, the world needs viable solutions for alternatives, and we know the oil and gas ownerships of the world are sitting on them, why are they buying up accellorated battery developement and not releasing them for general consumption, explain that, why do we keep electric cars still with an internal combustion engine, why haven't we developed ethanol as other countries have and insited that car makers make the carby that works with it as they have in Brazil I think, and why did GM get rid of the most popular fully electric car ever made, and so on..,,

Come on world we are on the edge and we can't afford to go over it....
