This Truly Horrendous Tragedy Was A Year Ago, Today;
And I Can’t Believe What This Guy Recently Had To Say:
“2010 Was The Best Year,
In Safety Performance,
In Our Company’s History!”
Transocean’s CEO
Eleven employees on their oil rig died
Over 200 Million Barrels of Oil, spilled
One of the Worst Disasters, in U.S. History
Yet, their chief executive is extremely thrilled
He’s thrilled, because he received a huge bonus
While so many Gulf Coast businesses, went under
Mile upon Mile of U.S. Coastline, were Decimated
Yet he got a Big Bonus, and a New Deal, to Plunder
This Oil CEO’s Yearly Bonus, and his Stock Options
And his Salary for 2010, were nearly Six Million Dollars
And now, our politicians are going to let them, do it again
Their ‘Best Year in Safety Performance’ he joyously hollers
And in the entire year, since this truly horrendous disaster
Our ‘leaders’ haven’t implemented one new safety regulation
Yet, they still proclaim that more drilling, will reduce gas prices
As the oil industry prepares to charge $5.00 per gallon, with elation
According to calculations by The Associated Press, the total value assigned to Transocean’s CEO’s compensation package in 2010 was $5.8 million.
This figure includes an $850,000 base salary — a whopping 34 percent increase from the prior year; perks totaling $622,057, which included extremely generous housing and vacation allowances; and a whopping $374,062 Bonus. Also included in this figure are his stock options valued at $1.9 million, and deferred shares valued at $2 million.
Yet, Transocean's Deepwater Horizon Oil Rig Explosion in the Gulf of Mexico a year ago, today killed 11 workers; set off the largest offshore oil disaster in U.S. history; ruined the livelihoods of thousands of American families and businesses; killed thousands and thousands of endangered marine animals and birds; and decimated mile upon mile of our once pristine coastal waters and shorelines, for countless generations to come.
Despite all of this, according to him, it was his company’s ‘best year ever in safety performance.’ That is one hell of a horrifying statement; and this year, they just can’t wait to do it all again.
And Now, Get Ready for $5.00 a Gallon Gasoline;
But Hey America, Don’t You Worry – Be Happy.

It will be cheaper to go back to horses.
The CEO of British Petroleum said, before he resigned with a platinum parachute that he "just wanted his life back"... poor guy.

STAND AGAINST DRILLING IN ARCTIC WATERS! There will be no helping hand from nature if they spill there. The disaster will be compounded.
I am thankful I have chosen a lifestyle that reduces my gas consumption to a minimum...I intend to keep it. My microwave is in the trash and I'm not buying another. I'm using the old broken TV and if i do buy a new computer it better be an energy efficient laptop.
Thanks brother for standing up for nature's right to be unmolested by man!
As far as the gas prices, it's crippling the average american, it costs so much more to heat our houses and run our cars and our incomes are not going up at all to even stay level..It's criminal I say absolutely criminal...
You are such a loud and clear voice..thank you for posting this.
Much peace, love and light,

When will it change? When our priorities change, and if we don't make the effort, someone else will surely point the way, let your imagination by your guide, the possibilities for a global meltdown are too numerous to mention. Bless ya! Jasmin Horst
