Wow! Excellent comments! Not just Louisiana but Mississippi and Alabama need to let them understand about the risks we’re taking. It greatly impacts our lives.

BP is a foreign company, they do not have the best interests of the US at heart. It drives me crazy that BP has set itself up as the epitome of eco-responsibility in the US oil industry and the other companies have allowed this to happen. BP signed on to the KYOTO treaty, and opposed drilling in the ANWR after Clinton banned them from owning any larger interest in Alaskan oil. BP has set themselves up as the controlling company in every area that they are involved. In every instance BP has made friends with the Democrat politicians and set themselves as the good guys as opposed to all the other companies, when in reality BP stands for Bad People.

I do a lot of travel and so far BP has seen $0.00 of my money since the spill.

If BP gets cut off by a lot of people like me, they might start lowering their prices to attract customers. Yes, it might hurt the oil industries price fixing game.

Everyone should boycott BP.

You got it! bttt

BP,ENRON,GE (which bought ENRON’S assets), et.al. (we KNOW the names), are, and have been in collusion with Al Gore and his international and Chicago-based front “environmentalist” organizations because they believed he could “deliver” what he promised. (A 10 Trillion Dollar market.) So far, it has all blown up in their faces. (pun intended)

BP’s recent experience -(like the ENRON and CLIMATEGATE exposure before them)- is merely the latest example of it.

So far, it looks as if AL Gore, with that huge carbon-footprint 9 million dollar mansion he just bought along the COAST of California, is the only one who is profiting from the AGW scam. He’s laughing all the way to the bank.

(As an aside, one way we know that he doesn’t really believe his own “boob-bait-for-the-bubbas” propaganda that the seas will rise 20 feet, is that he bought along the coast. That about 1/2 of the population still swallows his BS is proof that he is right in his estimation of the cognitive abilities of the average ‘RAT voter).

I hope to elaborate later ... but it seems to me the issue with the recent oil-platform explosion and subsequent leak issue is BP, not offshore drilling.

Offshore drilling has a very good track record in the past few decades ­ and especially recently; BP has a terrible one.

The Deepwater Horizon incident is consistent with only one of those track records.

Like Enron ­ and indeed, in close cooperation with Enron on the “global warming” rent-seeking ­ BP got distracted from its core businesses and spent its energies getting into solar ventures and carbon-trading schemes, and otherwise losing the plot of an energy company. The absurd re-branding to “Beyond Petroleum” (really? your balance sheet doesn’t quite agree) speaks volumes.

They thereby also lost focus on these operations and implicitly told their best people that the future did not lie there.

And for a decade we have seen BP facilities blowing up ­ with human and environmental consequences ­ all over the place.

The newsiness of this spill is testimony to its aberrant nature.

The issue today isn’t offshore drilling so much as it is the company that, in violation of all laws of probability, continues to be involved in a preponderance of its various industries’ high-profile workplace tragedies. 05/02 11:00 AM

I mentioned that back in the eighties, the BP execs told my husband that they were absolutely not going to spend one more penney on safety until the regulators forced them to because they had already spent more than they wanted to in the North Sea. Well, I heard the exact same remark regarding the second BOP valve. Maria Cantwell was bragging about uncovering a report from 2003 (a government report)that stated that there was evidence that the BOP valves could fail and that a second BOP valve should be required. They did just that in the North Sea and in most drilling areas around the world, but BP persuaded regulators that they didn’t need the 2nd BOP valve. How much more could it have cost to retrofit a second safety valve onto the rig? Now, the whole industry is going to take a hit for BP’s cavalier negligence.

I suggest that BP be removed from control of every industry partnership in the US, especially from control of Alyeska and pipelines.
