FOR AN UPDATE, CLICK HERE: Live Feed of Oil Spill ‘Top Kill’ Agreed To by BPAfter demands for greater transparency, BP has agreed to a public live video feed of the oil spill cleanup. The live stream will be released on Rep. Edward J. Markey’s (D-Mass.) website. Markey is chairman of the Energy and Environment Subcommittee in the Energy and Commerce Committee.
The feed is available on Markey’s website, globalwarming.house.gov.
Markey proposed that if BP was reluctant to post videos on their site, he would be willing to host them on his Energy Independence and Global Warming website free of charge.
“This may be BP’s footage, but it’s America’s ocean,” said Rep. Markey in a press release about the footage.
In a letter to the CEO of BP America, Markey stated that underwater machines have been recording the unveiling of events since a few days after the oil broke out, but BP did not provide footage until almost a month later.
Markey urged BP to release live footage of the environmental disaster, even though it is the property of BP, so that the Americans and Congress can understand what is going on and react appropriately.
