What third-world style and corruption gives BP our oil?
The Environmental Protection Agency are considering whether to bar BP from receiving government contracts, a move that would ultimately … end its drilling in federally controlled oil fields.
Over the past 10 years, BP has paid tens of millions of dollars in fines [not to mention the dead and scarred] and has been implicated in four separate instances of criminal misconduct that could have prompted this far more serious action.
The company’s executives and their lawyers have fended off such a penalty by promising that BP would change its ways.
Every backroom will always bite. Our current White House reworks it:
Nobody in this government will be satisfied until BP stops the leak, the oil is cleaned up and the affected people along the Gulf are fully compensated.
BP, as a responsible party, is charged with capping their leaking oil well and paying for the response and recovery.
