For having such a catastrophe in the Gulf, Gas prices have been steadliy dropping as of late...And From what I can tell they Should continue to drop...Even with this incident in the Gulf.
The middle east has such a backstock of oil then dunno wtf to do with themselves. As far as boycotting...IT wont do anything Azoom's right...and not because of all that mumble jumble she typed up...It simply wont affect the company as a whole because regardless of whats going on in the gulf people STILL need fuel. Hey gas, if you ran out of gas and rolled into a BP would you not get gas?

![]() How ? I don't know because I didn't build the well and it's not my oil. I didn't cause the problem...they did. No contingency plan for something like this...interesting. They don't even know what caused it do they ? That's also real comforting. |

Much like the exxon oil spill, the "theory that less is more" is that the spill would of been left alone it would of been better then all of the anthropogenic "rehabilitation" that the celebrities were doing. all of this amounted to a increased human foot print on the area when the news crews, celebs and yes researchers that went up there, in boats, helicopters and what not. The amount of oil they cleaned was less then the impact of their presence of being there. Now since the spill happened in the gulf coast were it is not as pristine as the AK spill that throws some more cogs in the machine that would need to be considered. like what would be considered a rehabilitated gulf coast and what would we compare it to? is there a referance site that would allow comparasions. I would suggest that the oil spill be capped off and then section off all of the area that has been affected, turn it into a superfund site and wildlife sanctuary. |

Zoom... I'm well aware what all is made from crude. Probably 80% of what I'm typing on is from crude oil. Heck, even the history channel had a real nice documentary on it.
What should they have done? How about the $5million cap stop safety device on that pipe? you know, the one they didn't put on. I'm sick and tired of hearing how the budget dictates over all else. If safety is #1 then budget should effect it. Budget couldn't be anything beyond #2 to safety. Trust me, I have this debate at my company. Oh and BP is one of my customers. I deal with their company every single day at work. |

The one thing that bothers me about this is that there was no backup plan, should an accident like this happen. Of all the offshore rigs owned by all the different oil companies in the world, not one of them has a way to fix an accident like this? Unbelievable. Let's hope everyone at least learns something from this and has some sort of emergency plan in place, with the proper gear staged nearby, should it happen again.

What's the difference at this point? The longer this goes on the less likely it is that BP will be able to continue in their current form. It would be throwing good money after bad but I doubt any of their money in America will be "good" after the lawsuits are said and done. |
