even though b.p. oil own the brig halliburton was the corporation that had designed and built the well and before drilling even begin it was how burns job to make the necessary recommendations to ensure the safety of the well that included the construction of twenty one the stabilizing collars throughout the well however b.p. chose to only build six and how burton never made a peep about it despite knowing the risks involved and cutting these corners immediately following the disaster it was revealed that how the burn ordered workers to destroy computer simulation showing what would happen if less than twenty one callers were used in any given well the result of which we sadly already know eleven people dead hundreds of miles of gulf coast covered in petro sludge and a holocaust of sea creatures now we already know b.p. isn't hurting much after having to pay a couple of fines of the spill remember no one went to jail in the company keeps giving government contracts so how does how they burn making out

again this if you want to put b.p. in the frame of regulation.the regulators almost never get out of those facilities i mean it was one in ten thousand and someone made easily a low figure yeah it was definitely a problem but let me get back to the point of free market capitalism because i think the definition of libertarian is often come conflated unfortunately with free market capitalism and i don't see it i don't see anybody in congress right now as a libertarian do you probably rand paul but my point is that while he thinks he is my point is first of all nobody owns that name you know i mean charles koch maybe i wouldn't we don't he's known for i'm with me but he founded you know what is now the cato institute is. so i'm not sure where we're going to leave it on that thank you so much for joining me if you want to weigh them to be a show be sure to like this on facebook at facebook dot com slash prime interest and you can follow tom right here at tom underscore hartman course you can always follow me on english p.r. i thank you for joining me

we're looking at maybe ten dollars per gallon when we go to the gas station let me ask you about the b.p. oil spill because there is an interesting regular regulatory implication for this there was a seventy seventy five million dollars dollar regulatory cap on b.p.'s liability for this how does that affect the oil industry's aggressiveness towards drilling and wherever they might be whether it's a caribbean or alaska or wherever. but what's really important here is down the macondo well let's just say that every drop of oil that was the that was in that reservoir was actually extracted it would meet the global demand for less than twelve hours that's really important to understand so even though it was such a costly mistake an error in that disaster ironically what happened it's a drop in the bucket in the big scheme of things and what is happening is production is the creasing for not just the end of season i o c s but they have to replace the oil production the cheap oil with more expensive deeper oil and they have to go to new frontiers of arctic or. in the gulf of mexico so even tho
