The consequences of the US addiction to Oil

From: RussiaToday | Apr 21, 2011

On the first anniversary of the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster, that killed 11 people and dumped millions of gallons of crude into the ocean, BP has filed two lawsuits for damages. But while the company is looking for others to blame and fighting for big money in the courts, it's locals who're paying the price with their health. RT's Gayane Chichakyan reports.

Even a year after the largest accident in the history of oil exploration, not much has changed in terms of safety regulations in the U.S. Scott Roberts, the director of the documentary 'Gas Hole' says the corporations don't have to alter anything because of America's oil addiction.
