This is Shell talking about a BP problem and you believe him?
It’s like a Pepsi exec talking about a Coke problem. Seriously.

I would say, we better get skimming. This is an opportunity waiting if the Unions would get out of the way. Put in an “executive order” that any oil recovered is the property of the skimmer and innovation takes over.

I would think that this is the case already under the existing laws of Maritime Salvage.

“Put in an “executive order” that any oil recovered is the property of the skimmer and innovation takes over.”

The oil would be cleaned up in a MONTH if this were implemented. But NOOOOO. BP and/or our Fed govt are too greedy and stupid to do this.

He is retired from Shell. He wants to do what is right for America and the industry. The Democrats want to do the right thing for the Saudis.
