Space Pollution - Part 2

Space Shuttle

In the November 30, 2010 article "Space Pollution" the Judiciary Report warned of the ills of pollution and debris in space and the prospect of it worsening, due to commercial space travel. The article was derived from an unpublished item I wrote weeks earlier.

Two weeks later, on December 14, 2010, NASA announced, in conjunction with the U.S. Federal Government, via a new RAND report entitled "Confronting Space Debris" they wish to create a "super fund" to clean up space pollution.

Hey, knock yourselves out *cough* just don't look for any donations. As I see it, this isn't my mess, because that kite I released could not have gotten that far.

BP In The Clear - Halliburton On The Hot Seat

A recently released report indicated Halliburton, not BP, was the real culprit behind the unprecedented Gulf of Mexico oil spill, which occurred off the coast of Louisiana. Halliburton knew the cement was faulty and did not hold up in tests, but went ahead with it anyway.

The Judiciary Report insisted this was the case all along regarding culpability, but Halliburton, who has come up in this site’s stats as web visitors, denied responsibility. BP ended up paying out $10 billion dollars in shareholder money to those negatively impacted in the region, while Halliburton skated.

The Judiciary Report insisted from the beginning, Halliburton, should be made to contribute a significant amount of money to the spill recovery fund, but they did not, leaving BP to shoulder all the blame, when it wasn‘t even their equipment or methods that caused the spill (it was Halliburton).
