So have argued that BP will survive this disaster just like Exxon and the Valdez spill. Others says this might well be the end to this company, with lost market cap, and a complete obliteration of their reputation. In viewing the 'live cam' this morning, the rising plume of oil/gas/mud/debris/etc. continues, seemingly unabated. Each day that this goes on makes the circumstances more and more difficult for everyone and anyone, business, government and private citizens.
BP, federal government don't shoot straight: A letter to the editor

I am sick of the PR we have all been force-fed throughout the Deepwater Horizon crisis by BP and the United States of America. I find it far too coincidental that the real and much higher flow estimates just happen to come out just as the top kill began. I find it odd the president just happens to have a... Full story »

They are then brought to Jackson Square, where they are first spanked with an alligator gar by Davis McAlary wearing a nutria... Full story »
Line of oil: A letter to the editor

The Corps of Engineers has finally issued an emergency permit to build one 6-foot-high sand berm south of Scofield Island to protect Barataria Bay from the encroaching BP oil spill. The permit does not authorize construction of another five proposed berms requested by the state on May 11. The corps is delaying because its environmental impact study is incomplete. Perhaps...

In his opinion piece, "Oil disaster brought to you by deregulation," Bob Marshall compares the complex nature of offshore energy development to space exploration. In one sense he is correct-- both endeavors have paid massive dividends while operating in rugged conditions. No one knows this better than the millions of men and women who work in the oil and natural... Full story »
