One goal that all small businesses and corporations must have in order to sell products or services is they must build trust within the community that they work in. Just like how a boyfriend trusts his girlfriend not to cheat on him, and vice-versa. Municipalities, citizens, and workers must trust Kinder Morgan, just like a partner or spouse. The problem is the Kinder Morgan has lied, and cheated on the municipalities, citizens and the workers on several different occasions.
Here are the oil spills casualties for those sad girlfriends and boyfriends.
Failed relationship story 1: 2004-Suisun Marsh, California
Suisun Marsh, California has one of, “largest saltwater wetland in the western United States and is a sensitive habitat.” [1] The first thing a good oil company would say is, “Okay, there are wetlands here and species, so we should be really cautions and aware these problems”. However, Kinder Morgan did not have the moral duty or soul at that time to even think about that; especially after, “123,774 gallons tarred shorelines and affected or killed mammals and birds”, in 2004[2].
Kinder Morgan soon said, “We've taken a number of actions to improve operations and accountability. "[3] That’s pretty sweet, cute, and caring for Kinder Morgan, who makes billions of dollars to finally care for the poor town of Suisun Marsh, and help find better ways after spilling thousands of gallons of oil into Suisun Marsh’ s water, and habitat, effectively damaging the environment and many species within that area.
