Environmental lawyer Mike Papantonio said in an interview on the Ed Schultz Show that it was Cheney's secret energy task force that decided the $500,000 switches that could have prevented the oil spill in the gulf were too much a burden on the industry.
In 2009 Exxon Mobile made $88,000 a minute. That's $500,000 in 5 minutes 40 seconds. It seems however, as far as the GOP is concerned just about any expense, rule or regulation imposed on the oil or coal industry is too much. The consequences be damned.
