I am making a point of supporting my local BP gas station. There are too many people who will be adversely affected if BP goes TU.

The US federal government doesn't know what it wants to do. Use dispersants now, don't use dispersants. Do this, do that, try this other thing. You have 48 hours to make progress. Obama should have accepted the offer on day 3 from the Dutch to use their skimmers. > Whether oil in a container floats depends on the displacement of water > by the container, not by any quality of the oil itself.

They've always been idiots. However, it's up to the president to override their decision not to allow Shell skimmers to remove 146,000 barrels of oil a day from the Gulf because the water they pump back has some oil in it. Only an idiot like Obama would allow such a thing to happen. It is the same thing when the EPA wouldn't give LA a permit to build sand bars to block the oil from getting into wetlands. The reason they do that is because sand bars could have a negative impact on the wetlands. IDIOTS.

Most of BP's assets will be transferred elsewhere long before anything like that happens. The taxpayers will be left holding the bag. |
