Kinda reminds me of the play where they kill all the lawyers and end up with tyranny. I think Hardhat grossly exaggerates the connection to the other three states economies. In some, losing tourist and casino gambling activities will be signficant in the long term. Here, the stoppage in drilling will be temporary, and when a clean agency with new rules is in place, drilling will resume. Our natural, not our mineral resources will suffer. We will suffer some temporary pain, but America still slurps our oil up and doesn't care to worry too much where it's gonna come from so long as they all don't start hurting when it hits 4 bucks a gallon. BP produces solar panels, but that was the old New BP...they'd been moving away from renewable energy recently. The $20Billion in escrow is simply securing a guarantee by bringing the tort claims to the front of the line to ensure compensation funds will be available in some minimum quantity should the company go bankrupt. At this point, the company will lose private capitalization, and become some sort of state sponsored non-profit entity charged with producing, transporting and retailing energy simply to pay back claims in the future as result of this spill. Hey that wouldn't be half bad, better than lining the pockets of hedge funds and billionaires (never mind all those pensioners and dependent retirees they shortchanged by acting so irresponsibly) A Great Awakening or a Reckoning? Is your retirement Dirty or is it Clean? Oh but Climate Change, that's just a conspiracy of the New World Order...yeah... - Unempirical Observer Sun, 20 Jun 2010 04:47:47 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6433-at-least-bp-recycles#comment-8359 BP is the only Oil Operator who cuts corners causing senseless fatalities, to cut the expenditure of drilling a well.......... IF BARTON AND YOU LAFAYETTE, " THINK 20 BILLION IS EXTREME FOR BP TO SHELLOUT FOR THE SHATTERED LIVES OF A FEW MILLION LOUISIANA'S, A FEW MILLION MISSISSIPPIAN'S, A FEW MILLION FLORIDAN' COUNTLESS OTHERS WHOSE LIVES HAVE BEEN PUT ON HOLD WITHOUT JOBS, people who travel to Louisiana, Mississipi, Florida, and Texas to go offshore to work, now waiting while the head Couillion is putting drilling on hold, to make his points with his Muslim Neighbors abroad, all in the name of Muslim Brotherhood......" The New World Order, the WEALTHY BASTIDS UTOPIA ! - HARDHAT Sat, 19 Jun 2010 00:46:23 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6433-at-least-bp-recycles#comment-8349 BP is also the only Oil Company that produces Solar Panels. - Lafayette Fri, 18 Jun 2010 15:36:41 +0100
