Since the BP spill has yet to be contained, I have this visual of their offices being absolute chaos: paper flying out of printers, someone in the fetal position by the water cooler, a sweaty CEO loosening his tie while he continues to answer the same questions over and over to reporters, and all the blinds are closed so the staff can try to ignore the eggs and tomatoes being thrown from the public.
A little dramatic yes, but it's what we all hope the mood of Beyond Petrolium's offices are.
Apparently they are looking toward the future...
BP Oil is currently working on plans to drill in the arctic and it's called the Liberty Project. That's right, as more than 50% of Americans feel that BP Oil should be criminally prosecuted the company is proposing to drill in one of the two Polar Bear Seas, where half of America's polar bears currently live.
The NRDC who is suing BP for it's current spill has a letter you can fill out to express your feelings toward the new project here (only if you're American). The NRDC also states that like in the Gulf, BP is allowed to conduct its own environmental assesment and emergency response plan.
We all know how well that worked:
