BP Files A Monster Of A Lawsuit Against Halliburton

BP HQ

BP (British Petroleum) has filed a monster of a lawsuit against Halliburton, Transocean and Cameron International, over the massive oil spill that occurred off the coast of Louisiana last year. The environmental disaster turned out to be the worst spill in U.S. history.

BP seeks $40.9 billion in damages from the Defendants in the case. Yes, you read that right. Billion, not million. BP contends it is for money they paid out in claims and clean up, due to the regrettable spill.

British Petroleum has sustained a significant amount of damage during the disaster. BP’s shareholders and bottom-line, took a pounding over the spill, which British Petroleum stated was caused by the Defendants, as it was their machinery, methods and men that worked on the rig.

Radiation And Cancer In Relation To The Japanese Earthquake And Tsunami

After Japan's recent earthquake and tsunami, which severely damaged a nuclear power plant, cancer rates are going to rise in said nation, with the effects also being felt on the west coast of America, particularly California.

Radiation has poisoned the air and sea. Travelers are also bringing it to other destinations. The ocean already took a battering from the oil spills in 2010 and this recent dose of radiation emanating from Japan's shores will not help the situation.

Global solutions are required to restore the delicate eco balance of the earth. It is being thrust further out of whack, in acts that are detrimental to humanity. Radiation in food, such as seafood and radioactive items seeping into the ground, will make their way into crops.
