And to think, our oh-so-competent Federal Government approved that response plan. I wonder if BP has decided that their ROI for the Obama Campaign in 08 was a huge waste of money. THAT’s where the dividend money went.

I was an environmental consultant for 15 years and continue to work in the environmental profession. There is no excuse for a cut and paste job regardless of salary; I see it all the time.

Check the relative salaries of environmental professionals employed by oil companies and their consultants and then the salaries of production engineers and accountants. It is no mystery why the environmental response plan is a cut and paste job.

The Obama Administration may not have in-house expertise necessary to take over containment efforts, but the President and his Attorney General, Eric Holder, certainly have a lot of legal expertise. Hopefully they will employ that expertise to seek the maximum possible punishments for what appears to be a willful disregard by BP of its legal obligation to develop a legitimate spill response plan.
