Church leaders are too quick to condemn Tommy Robinson and the Unite the Kingdom march, says Chris Larkin. We don't know what Jesus would have made of our politics, but we can?t just assume he?d have been a Lib Dem voter.

BP Oil Spill in Prudhoe Bay

category international | environment | other press author Sunday August 13, 2006 23:01author by Brian Mac Grath - Tara Foundationauthor email tarafoundation at eircom dot net Report this post to the editors

March 2006 Oil Spill in Alaska

Recent reports, indicating a huge oil spill into the Alaskan Prudhoe Bay in March 2006, and the recent shut-down of production, highlight the dangers of allowing transnational energy corporations access to pristine areas such as Alaska or Corrib.

It has emerged that a large oil spill has taken place in Alaska's Prudhoe Bay. The leak is described as being approximately 1.2 million litres, covering around 200 miles of tundra. BP is facing a criminal enquiry as a result of the accident, which follows a fire and 15 deaths at its Texas facility, and the collapse of a rig in the Gulf of Mexico. One of the factors being investigated is the poor condition of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline itself, constructed in the 1970s, and believed to be in poor condition in sections. The recent shutdown of the Prudhoe Bay facility is alleged by some to be a device to push oil prices beyond their already record levels.

These events indicate that oil corporations such as BP, Shell and Exxon-Mobil operate
without reference to environmental laws and standards. Alaska today is Corrib and the entire West Coast of Ireland in the future.
