Day after day after day that horrible week we heared and saw about another oil tanker having got in trouble. From the first day it was claar that the old garbage can would not stand and in the end would brake down.

Was no one from the oil industry listening to the news? Did no oil lobbyist look at the news that week?

They were remarqaubly silent and absent while the tanker was being tossed by the sea during days and days and days.
All that time, when the press and everyone saw that the tanker would not stand, NO REMEDIAL ACTION WAS TAKEN BY ANYONE. Everyone just was sitting there waiting till the catastrophy would occur and doing nothing.

The oil industry must be considered as the prime responsible for the fact that their stuff is being spread over the oceans (and finally over the beaches). If they were a little bit of gentlemen, like they try to profile themselves in all kinds of artificial advertisements, then they would have organised an immediately rescue mission, for their precious blakc gold, and for the beaches of Europe...

There was plenty of time, a whole week, to send empty tankers to the trouble spot, to pump the oil away from the damaged garbage can.

In fact there should be a European regulation, prompting them to do so in such circumstances...

And if they allow their sticky stuff to be transported by risky carriers, then they should be called upon for the costs and the restauring works in case of polluted European beaches.

But why don't we just invest in COMPACT DURABLE BATTERIES RESEARCH, so that electric cars make soon all this oil turmoil superfluous. The battery is still the only weak point of the electric cars to be improved. What is Europe waiting for? These cars are as smooth and quick as petrol cars.
