It makes all the difference in the World.
BP is accountable to their share holders. Bottom line is all that concerns them. The demand for BP's products is driven by a global useage of oil, of course, however the greedy American public that demands to use more oil than anyone else and at a price substanially cheaper than anywhere else in the developed World does far more than their fair share to drive that demand.
At the end of the day it IS greed that's the culprit. Saying that a nameless, faceless corporation is being greedy or that their executive officers are responsible because of greed while at the same time wholesale discounting anyone else's greedy self serving motives as sharing any of the blame is pure ignorance at best.
If people REALLY wanted to end oil related enviromental disasters, they'd start with themselves and their own habbits rather than making useless posts on GFY about it.
