Race to clean up Indian Ocean oil spill

[@letmedietomorrow]

If there were no limit to compensation damages, each "accident" would bankrupt a company.

[@flytoheights1]

Then who takes on the rest of costs of the damage? The people? Is it better or ok to bankrupt the people instead? Is it ok to push the cost to of the “accidents” to third parties that does not cause the accidents? For the last question, I think it’s not. First question is a bit tough. Not to mention, these are immediately seen accident and we are not even talking about externalities (pollution, global warming, etc). The results of externalities are not visible until a later time at which point these costs only increase. Although improvements in reducing the externalities have been made through technology and regulations, they are still there. The company limit to compensation damage will never come close to cover the damage. Prevention would have been better. The damage is done. The effects on the ocean, residents, and marine life will detrimental.

Every year there's a new record breaking oil spill. People will act like they care for 2 weeks and a month later corporations will remember how much money they can make and once again sacrifice safety for dollar signs

Please they never forget how much money is in oil. They just act as if they care until people dont care.

You can't sacrifice safety for dollar signs, you can't profit from loss oil.

Typical... corporations waited until it spilled rather than sending in teams to deal with it on day one...

[@whiskeybuilder6335]

If they don't have a disaster they can't raise pump prices. We're talking about some heartless greedy people here.

[@serahaz5550]

whichever company or country owns the ship/oil should pay towards the full clean up and restoration of the environmental damage.

[@aaronvallejo8220]

Another example why we need to invest trillions annually to build our renewably powered global economy. Regional wind farms with distributed solar PV and high insulation along with electric heated floors backed up with Tesla 3 MW grid batteries and bidirectional electric vehicles.

[@InderjitSingh12]

this is why BC doesn't want oil shipping off its coast

[@pabloplato]

mushrooms are also really good for soaking up oil spills. a concerted effort should be made to grow mycelium nets that can be laid on the surface around the ship to soak up the oil and possibly even extract and refine it at a later point in time. Japan is really into mushrooms, they should be paying their mushroom farmers to produce nets. And the rest of Japan should pay penance for this atrocity against aquatic habitats by giving up eels for at least a year to allow the worldwide populations to grow and make up for the loss of life in the Indian Ocean.

every tanker needs to have a rubber dam system on board to contain spills. Every 20 tankers on the trade routes should be emergency response equipped with leak containment capabilities. WTH get modern!

[@susiefairfield7218]

When we going to be solar, I would build one for myself if I had access to an affordable and good system

[@AlbertaTacticalDude]

As nice as solar seems at face value, manufacturing of solar panels requires large amounts of rare earth metals such as magnetic neodymium, electronic indium, and silver, along with lesser-known metals like praseodymium, dysprosium, and terbium. Many of which require large mining projects and further destruction of natural habitat. Solar may be the lesser of the two evils though, still not sustainable to replace fossil fuels.

[@bluesteel8376]

Solar unfortunately is not the long term solution as MIke pointed out.

[@offgridwanabe]

@@AlbertaTacticalDude Solar is just one puff of smoke then we are good for 25 years meanwhile oil pollutes every time it is used and or mined.

@Taylor Everard your entire house has oil and gas in it, all the materials, all the shipping. All the food you eat is trucked in, all the clothes and fabric is moved by gas and oil.. lubricated by oil. Your tv your computer, you cell phone, all the atuff you own has oil and gas wrapped in it. Come at me bro

[@theholydarkpope6972]

@Taylor Everard your electrical car you want is power by batteries and the mining for that is giant pits that are excavated by machines.

why....why was it sailing near a coral reef?

[@davida6146]

Can we hold Japan accountable...??

[@WoodstockG54]

Since we can’t depend on shipping companies to quickly respond to these situations, then there should be an international organization that should respond, billing cost of clean up to the United Nations, then they can go after the shipping company for repayment.

[@cliveroberts8760]

riiiiiiight and who will pay for this international organization? who will be in charge of this international organization? how will you determine how much money will go to specific clean ups? billing cost to united nations? huh ? United nations cant even prevent israel from annexing and taking over palestinian land that was lawfully held for them .
