"and the beat goes on..."
HOUSTON – Chevron Corp. now says it caused an oil spill off the coast of Brazil, which is likely to pose problems for the oil producer in a region crucial to its growth.
Oil has been seeping from the ocean floor since Nov. 8, near where Chevron was drilling an exploratory well. But until now, the company has been slow to acknowledge that the spill was directly related to the drilling, saying instead that the well was "suspected to be contributing" to seepage.
On Saturday evening, however, Chevron spokesman Kurt Glaubitz said, "The drilling was responsible for the seepage."
Why do the words, drill baby drill" seem a little like an over kill in an industry that can not be trusted? This spill is happening off Brazil where our new regulations don't apply, Hmmmmmmmm
