BP will pay for all environment destroying

by Nina Gotzmannova

The Earth and nature is the most precious thing the mankind has. Destroying them is the worst thing that we can do, because until the scientists won't find a way how to live in space bases, we are dependant on life on this planet. Dangerous pollution is mostly caused by big industrial companies, which may care about the environment, but in case of accidents they are completely clueless. Now it's time for them to pay.BP, one of the worlds' largest private sector energy companies, will finally pay for its faults. In 2005 exploded one of the BP's largest oil refineries in Texas, causing 15 deaths and major menace of nature around. In 2006 they had spilled more than one million liters of oil in Alaska because of the corrosion of the pipeline in Prudhoe Bay. On October 16 they had spilled 2,000 gallons of methanol again in Prudhoe Bay. The company will pay $ 373 million, $ 303 million in civil and criminal penalties, $ 50 million criminal fine for the Texas refinery explosion and $ 20 million criminal fine for the Alaskan oil spilling. They have already paid $ 1.6 billion to the victims of Texas explosion, but no money will ever return the dead back to world, allow 170 injured people to lead the same life as before and most of all, turn back time in the case of nature disaster.BP was among ten worst companies in 2001 and 2006 because of their non-environmental behavior. In 1991 they were named as the most polluting company in the United States. In 1997 and 1998 they had caused more than one hundred oil spills. Is it still that good to be rich?
