In another example, Maddow describes the haphazard towing of a towering drill rig to the Arctic. She recounts BP’s wholly inadequate response, their carelessness and lack of know-how. Maddow points to the Deepwater Horizon offshore oil rig explosion as an example of the gargantuan oil and gas industry’s thin veneer of commitment to public safety and environmental protection.
If you watch her show, you’ll recognize her signature wit, sense of irony, and investigative style. Who can take a sober topic like this and create a witty, quick-reading political expose, threaded with international intrigue and biographical accounts of leaders in the industry? None other than MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. Is it possible for a global industry to undermine democracies and trigger earthquakes? MSNBC political analyst and commentator Rachel Maddow turns her discerning eye toward the oil and gas industry in this compelling expose.Ī new book, Blowout, named for the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, critiques the workings and impacts of the oil and gas industry.
