This is just the beginning .......... Breaks my heart.

Probably nothing. And BP has stepped up and accepted blame so far. However I just can't separate them from what is happening.

Well, for one they skimped on paying the extra 500K for safety valve that very well may have allowed them to shut this off right when it first happened.

There is no guarantee that the valve would have been able stop it, but it is designed to do just that so it very well may have.

BestXXXPorn · 05-10-2010, 01:31 PM

BP just ran into bad luck... They aren't doing any other oil company would/wouldn't do...

Really you should have sympathy for them, they just got FUCKED... Boycotting is exactly the opposite of what you should do... Do you want them to have enough capital to clean this shit up?

First time I've heard about that valve but if that's the case... isn't it always the ONE time you don't add an optional piece that you need it? :P

ottopottomouse · 05-10-2010, 01:51 PM

Boycott BP, let them sell their oil based products to other brands, fill up with BP sourced fuel at an Exxon/Esso/Shell/??? petrol station.

Well done - the polar bears will love you and you can now be a condescending smug git like all the twats that buy a Prius.

They had to get the government to OK them not getting that valve installed

Tom_PM · 05-10-2010, 01:56 PM

The oil lobby asked to be allowed to not put those on (remember the secret golf outting meetings with the energy lobby and Cheney?), and their wish was granted. They also relaxed the clean air and clean water acts instead of losing the plethora of court cases pending. They truly were scumbags and it'll be decades before it all comes out. Just like every other administration.

Good on you for taking action. That picture sure is heartbreaking and there will be allot more just like it....truly sad that wildlife has to suffer for mans greed and the need for oil.

leedsfan · 05-10-2010, 01:57 PM

and if I hear anyone associated BP with folks in the UK then we're done.

Fucking multinational oil company with more foreign investors than domestic. Honestly the stupidity levels are off the charts. I have had 3 people on ICQ say man, you guys need to clean that shit up. LOL ri.....iiiight. Like it's my fault.

Sarah Palin said it was a British problem, that the British should deal with. She is truly a moron of epic proportions. But at least she can see Russia from her house though, so thats good.

If you are talking to me I know how refined crude ends up at various branded stations as gasoline. I also know other stop/go products account for major revenue. I just have a hard time not associating BP with the damage. Just like Exxon.

I don't feel smug about anything just sad for the animals and damage.

Great points. Any oil you buy is coming from a horrible corporation. It's bp this time, it'll be someone else the next. They pay for this gov't to run and that's why everything's so lax.

TeenCat · 05-10-2010, 02:03 PM

certainly you jest. bp recorded $5 billion PROFIT 1st q 2010. while small potatoes amongst the big boys, that's a lot of $ to go towards a clean up.

bad luck? hardly. they lobbied washington and greased a lot of pockets so they would not have to install that valve on all their u.s. offshore rigs.
re: the valve, it's not 1 valve on 1 rig, it's a $500,000 valve for each and every rig. not taking bp's side but it's not accurate to think bp would of guessed right and installed the valve on the 1 rig that exploded.

Point taken...

But look at the supposed "cost" of cleaning that up... I guess what I should have said is that really it's not their "fault" per se... there's no reason to boycott them. They certainly didn't plan on this happening or plan for it TO happen. They just got royally fucked like every other victim in this... probably more so...

Yeah I was although I suppose it came across a bit harsh as there is far too many people who really have no idea that BP fuel doesn't come out the ground and exclusively end up at BP stations and come up with crackpot badly thought out protests as a result so I was just lumping you in with them. Sorry for any offence.

There is no real boycotting solution though as everything you eat or wear travels around on fossil fuels.

here's a quick synopsis of bp-

Quote:

The causes of the disastrous blowout and gas explosion on BP's leased Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico are a long way from being determined.

Yet already BP's actions are facing unprecedented scrutiny, thanks to a years-long history of legal and ethical violations that critics, judges and members of Congress say shows that the London-based company has a penchant for putting profit ahead of just about everything else.

Over the past two decades, BP subsidiaries have been convicted three times of environmental crimes in Alaska and Texas, including two felonies. It remains on probation for two of them.

It also has received the biggest-ever fine for willful work safety violations in U.S. history and is the subject of a wide range of safety investigations, including one in Washington state that resulted last week in a relatively minor $69,000 fine for 13 "serious" safety violations at its Cherry Point refinery near Ferndale, Wash.

dyna mo · 05-10-2010, 02:15 PM

more-

A review of BP's history, however, shows a pattern of ethically questionable and illegal behavior that goes back decades.

BP's best-known disaster

took place in 2005, when an explosion at its refinery in Texas City near Galveston, Texas, killed 15 workers, injured 180 people and forced thousands of nearby residents to remain sheltered in their homes.

An investigation of the explosion by the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board blamed BP for the explosion and offered a scathing assessment of the company.

It found "organizational and safety deficiencies at all levels of the BP Corporation" and said management failures could be traced from Texas to London.

The company eventually pleaded guilty to a felony violation of the Clean Air Act, was fined $50 million and sentenced to three years' probation. The Occupational Health and Safety Administration assessed BP the largest fine in OSHA history — $87 million — after inspectors found 270 safety violations that had been previously cited but not fixed and 439 new violations.

Well then, I stand corrected... their track record definitely leaves a lot to be desired.

CARRY ON WITH THE BP BASHING!

You have my support

Thanks for the infos dyna mo ;)

I'd be interested in reading like reports on all the major oil companies... Can't wait till electric technology progresses to the point of affordable replacements for nearly all gas/oil consuming devices...

I think you are missing the point completely. If you truly want to boycott then you should be doing what you can to avoid excessive oil consumption. BP is one company out of how many, that have oil rigs in the Gulf and else where?

They had an accident that could have happened to any of the others because they all operate the same way..

BTW.. I hope you boycott Haliburton too, as they were the ones that had the cementing contract that caused this mess.

Bullshit. They make Billions of profit every year. They have no problem to pay for the mess.

blazin · 05-10-2010, 02:39 PM

It's better that this happened in North America... if this happened in Africa or some other poor less powerful nation then BP wouldn't give a shit and would only be concerned with saving their oil and not the environment.

No the question was, what are they doing differently to the other companies?
I think you guys are pushing the blame away from the real culprits. BP followed the law, maybe you should point your anger at the law makers who allowed the oil companies to build rigs without safeguards like the plug.

I'm probably more angry with the lawmakers that allowed these guys to drill without these safety valves in place. It is just another example of how you can buy and sell our leadership. Also, I have no idea if other companies are using these valves voluntarily or not. What I do know is that BP chose not to use it and now is flooding the gulf with oil and I'm pissed at them If another company was in the same situation I would be just as pissed.

epitome · 05-10-2010, 03:18 PM

Saw today that Halliburton was working on the rig before it blew and it may be their fault.

I thought Dick Cheney was done fucking our country?

Could have been any other company. I dont even have any BP near by.

dyna mo · 05-10-2010, 03:59 PM

bp leased the rig and as the leasor is responsible for the spill, the law states the leasor owns the oil and is responsible

moreover, the maximum they are required by law to pay for the damages from the spill is capped at b/w$60m and $100m liability.

They loose 6 millions us dollars every day because of it and they are desperately seeking for the solution. __________________
