Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–January 11, 2011. Big Oil and their allies are continuing to lust after huge profits at the expense and welfare of the American people by ignoring the recommendations released today by the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling to improve safeguards for future offshore oil production, and instead pushing for expanded oil production. Their rush to drill first and reform later comes in direct contrast to the reports findings that the BP spill was a result of “systemic” problems in the oil and gas industry and “absent significant reform in both industry practices and government policies, might well recur.”
