Re: Gulf Oil Spill 2010
so I assume you're going to lobby Norway to stop drilling for the good of the planet?

I don't sense a pattern outside of BP being one of the least responsible companies on the planet. There have been far too many disasters within this company. The two that come to mind immediately are Texas City and the current spill.

Re: Gulf Oil Spill 2010
I have no problem with drilling. What I do have a problem with is irresponsible companies with irresponsible safety practices. BP should NEVER be given another offshore drilling contract and they should have all existing ones revoked. That's in addition to paying back every single dollar that has been spent (going to be spent) on the cleanup AND keeping ALL businesses that have been affected by their negligence in the black.

So the people who mocked environmental concerns about drilling haven't been shown to have been spectacularly wrong? Got it.
I don't think BP should have their contracts revoked at all. I think they should pay punitive damages as well as clean up their mess, and they are going to need to operate those wells to pay them.
Ironic that the confederacy poisoned its own backyard, though. God's jokes are terrible.

They don't have to operate wells offshore to pay this off. They have plenty of money from other places.
They should be done with offshore drilling in the US. Period.

Re: Gulf Oil Spill 2010
I dunno, man. There's allegedly more oil under the Gulf of Mexico than in Saudi. I'm all for pumping it all out, and the market-huggers clearly value BP's stock price over the risk of becoming the next Baku. Drill, baby, drill.
Meanwhile we can have strict environmental rules in the civilized world. Everybody wins.

Re: Gulf Oil Spill 2010
They're still going to do it, under a different name. if they don't do it, the Cubans, The Chinese, The Mexicans, The Venezuelans, The Russians etc will do it. Those guys make you warm and fuzzy?

Re: Gulf Oil Spill 2010
Here we go again.
This is America **** it. There is an American company out there who can drill this **** from two miles deep and do it safely. I'm sick of this crap. When did this country start being about oh well, and we can't do it safe, and spills happen, and blah blah blah.
We can do it clean.
We can do it safe.
And we can make a profit at it.
BP has failed at its responsibility to the human race. Time to find someone who's willing to do things right.
