Read Wall Street Journal once in a while, you will find a bunch of info's!
I am bumping this article because I'm angered at the full page ad that BP took out in the WSJ, supporting global warming theories and environmental controls.
I want everyone to be reminded that during the last spike in oil prices, BP decided to shut down parts of the Alaskan pipeline for so-called safety over hauls. This is starting to be a BP MO. Their buzz word for the tactic is "culture of safety". I've been seeing it in numerous press releases from the company.
I should also add that BP has been trying to make a deal with the Enviros, to give up the normal trade route through the Puget Sound in exchange for expansion of their dock capacity. Of course, BP is prohibited from owning any tanker companies that operate between US ports, so this would be no problem for them, but it would eliminate the shortest and safest route for tankers through the sound and end up costing the consumers in higher gas prices.
