Oil Companies Still Hiding the True Risks of Deepwater Drilling from Investors

OilPrice.com -- Oil and gas companies are doing a terrible job of disclosing climate and deepwater drilling risks, even in light of the tragic Gulf of Mexico oil spill, according to a new report.

If Pig Oil's mouthpiece, OilPrice.com, is bringing this up, then it stands to reason that this is solely the tip of the iceberg.

Most of the easy oil has been recovered. Drilling in deep water and other hostile places increases the cost and the risk of oil production. The sooner we have viable alternatives to petroleum fuels the better off we will all be.

This comes as no real surprise to any of us, I'm sure. I think that is why they push so hard to get rid of the EPA and any other organization that will hold them to account for some of the trash they subject the American public to- far too much money and too many stupid people standing in the way... it's all about the dollars.
