If you've been living under a rock for the past several months, and haven't been following up on the BP oil spill that occurred earlier this year, the people over at UCB Comedy have put together an excellent parody video displaying BP's lack of ability to get a grip on the situation.
I am a supporter for offshore drilling, but this event has damaged and motivated people to push against drilling. In the future, politicians will be less likely to support oil drilling, which is unfortunate because the methods used in Alaska are incredibly safer and easier to maintain. Many people don't realize that there is no REAL alternative to oil at this point, and it probably won't be successfully replaced for several years. I hope one day we will eliminate our dependency on oil, but until then, we need to keep at it, and not allow one accident to deter us.
