BP’s true perspective and other comments….

According to the article, entitled: BP CEO: Gulf Of Mexico Is A ‘Very Big Ocean’, Amount Of Oil From Leak Is ‘Tiny’ by Frances Martel, at the following link, dated May 14, 2010:
http://www.mediaite.com/online/bp-ceo-gulf-of-mexico-is-a-very-big-ocean-amount-of-oil-from-leak-is-tiny/
BP’s CEO, Tony Hayward insisted that the leaked oil and the estimated 400,000 gallons of dispersant that BP has pumped into the sea to try to tackle the slick should be put in context. “The Gulf of Mexico is a very big ocean. The amount of volume of oil and dispersant we are putting into it is tiny in relation to the total water volume.”

According to the article, entitled: Sham Workers? BP Bussed In Clean Up Crews For President Obama’s Gulf Visit by Colby Hall, dated May 28, 2010, at the following link:
http://www.mediaite.com/online/sham-workers-bp-bussed-in-clean-up-crew-for-president-obamas-gulf-visit/
400 extra cleanup workers were bussed to Grand Isle during President Obama’s visit and after Obama left, so did the work crews.

Transcript of discussion on NPR entitled: Oil Spill Cleanup Technology stuck in 20th Century. Thirty-one years ago, the Ixtoc I well blew out in the Gulf of Mexico after its blowout preventer failed. Cleanup crews responded with oil booms, skimmers and detergents. Ira Flatow and guests discuss why, three decades later, oil cleanup crews still rely on the same technology. They only mention Kevin’s machines briefly. At the following link:

Excerpt from article entitled: Twitter’s fake BP spokesman too slick for the oil company by Mark Milian: As if the all-too-real BP oil spill weren't enough of a circus, a satirical Twitter account called @BPGlobalPR adds some dark humor to a sludgy situation. The fake BP Twitter page was created a week ago….the project has netted more than $3,000 for the nonprofit Gulf Restoration Network through the sale of $25 "BP cares" T-shirts (in green and black, a nice mesh of the colors of money and oil). At the following link:

Excerpt from blog entitled: Hey Kevin Costner, “If You Build It, They Will Clean It” by Dimitry Greentree: You may remember him as Ray Kinsella, the man who built it so they would come in “Field of Dreams”. Or, you might remember him as Crash Davis, the washed up minor leaguer from “Bull Durham”. Shoot, more fitting, you might even be one of the few cult fans of his mutant character, Mariner, from the post-apocalyptic “Waterworld”. Whichever Hollywood character you associate Mr. Kevin Costner with, you can now add real life environmental savior to the list.
