3. BP's not the only ones that lack integrity - try the corporate media
BP, the government and the corporate media have lied about the amount of oil flowing from the one leak on the live feed, they have failed to reveal that there are two other leaks at the Deepwater Horizon site, as well as two leaks at other sites and have failed to tell people the far-reaching implications of this - which are more than just fouled beaches and dead marine life. Both nuclear and coal-fired power plants rely on Gulf water for cooling, and oil in the intakes could shut them down. Water purification plants that use reverse osmosis to convert seawater into drinking water could also be shut down due to oil in the intakes. The real costs of this will be staggering.
