They are another lot that clung to their outdated power by insisting on having "the bomb" and testing it in other people's parts of the world. The French were wrong in what they did in New Zealand when they blew up a Greenpeace ship rainbow Warrior. The DGSE were mad to think that that was the way to deal with the situation, just as mad as Mitterrand was to use Moruroa for their tests.<br /><br />But these Greenpeace protests are putting workers' lives at risk. No one would deny that it would be a disaster if there were a leak, but it’s a risk we take in Scotland... <br /><br />While the world works on trying to find alternatives for oil (and Scotland is doing its bit... and would do more if it weren’t being held back by Westminster), we still need oil and gas and we need it as far away as we can from contentious parts of the world. Or parts of the world where they will hold us to ransom over price.<br /><br />I don’t see why Greenpeace intruders shouldn’t be warned that if they don’t get down from the rigging, they will be brought down.<br /><br />And....guess wat...

I think, as I said in the post, tha...Hello Cris...<br /><br />I think, as I said in the post, that we should have learned about safety, about not cutting corners. At least if the Gulf of Mexico debacle won't teach big business about the importance of the environment they work in, they will have learned that the overall cost of this is far greater in financial terms than the shutdown that they might otherwise have had.<br /><br />I think we are moving away from oil. Scotland in particular is working very hard at renewable, despite a great deal of hindrance from the Westminster government.<br /><br />But power from renewable won’t happen overnight. So an oil find in a friendly country (Greenland is a very friendly country) will relieve some of our dependence on other countries with which we have rather dubious relationships. A source of gas (and i believe they have found gas) would also be most useful. After all we are in a bit of a mess with the current source are we not?<br /><br />I’m no supporter of big business oil companies which would probably quite happily crush me and all of mine if it would help them make more money, but Greenpeace’s actions are more likely to cause an accident than save one. If one of these idiots falls into the sea and has to be rescued.... for example.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-49645911473132413532010-08-31T23:11:02.366+01:002010-08-31T23:11:02.366+01:00I love it.
