Meanwhile, DOOMBOT uses the same old failed argument in an attempt to justify himself. |

BP, Sarah Palin, all the people who have said and are still saying drill, baby, drill. You should all be down in the gulf cleaning this disaster up. Disgusting. |
thank you for bringing some sense into this thread lews. I take back all my treehugger comments that i've previously directed at you :) |

Sorry if I exposed you a little but it's too funny to watch tree huggers be so damned hypocritical. :p |

I'll say it again: Just because it's impossible to avoid using something does not mean I like using it. I try to minimize my usage, but obviously I can't completely avoid using oil. You haven't exposed . You're just an idiot. |

I'm sure you do buddy. So enlighten us and tell us what you do to fight the good fight. Solar panels? Scooping out water from the nearest lake and purifying it yourself? Wiping from your ass with sea shells? |

BP is almost assuredly going to be put out of business for this whole fiasco.
By the time they are through the tens of thousands of lawsuits from the local fisherman, environmental agencies, tourism spots, etc., they will be doling out billions of dollars in compensation. |
Personally I don't see this as totally BP's "fault".
I think that the first few days was BP's fault.
the other 30+ days were the US governments "fault" for not stepping in and using their resources to save their ocean. Once it went outside the near vacinity the US government and military should of had a contigency plan developed for this type of thing. Even a 3 billion dollar damage is 0.025% and the total costs could add up to 0.1% of the US anual economy. (1 one thousands of the us annual economy.) That meaning 1000 disaster like this would take up more funds than the whole of the US economy.
Point is thought the oil leak is 2 to 5 times the size of the exon valdez spill - the exon cleanup alone cost 2.5 billion. So the overall cost could be dramatic. "could be". BP is only a 40 or so billion dollar company.
This is "dim" though in that the real costs are much much more - and most people won't even realize it, but this was VERY bad. Like katrina the only real failure was the US governments incapacity or unwillingness to fix this quick.
The bottom line though is that now is a good time to buy BP stock. |
