英国石油公司长期以来一直低估海上开采风险,而美国政府也未有效监管英国石油公司(BP)在墨西哥湾租用的“深水地平线”钻井平台4月20日发生爆炸以来,大量原油流入墨西哥湾,至今尚未完全控制漏油;造成严重环境污染和重大经济损失,其负面影响短期内难以消除。此次事件显示了海洋污染事故的巨大危害性。对海洋生态环境的影响自不必说,美国一些环保专家悲观地认为,墨西哥湾环境将“难以复原”。 BP has long been underestimating offshore mining risks and the U.S. government has failed to effectively oversee the “Deepwater Horizon” drilling platform leased by British Petroleum in the Gulf of Mexico. Since the April 20 explosion, large quantities of crude oil have been flowing into the Gulf of Mexico , Has not yet fully controlled the oil spill; caused serious environmental pollution and major economic losses, the negative impact of the short term difficult to eliminate. The incident shows the great harm of marine pollution accidents. Needless to say, the environmentalists in the United States say pessimistically that some environmental experts in the United States will pessimize the environment in the Gulf of Mexico.
