Answer:
BP Could Make Millions Off Oil it Spilled in the Gulf - Today, 08:54 PM
Even as the perpetrators of the biggest environmental catastrophe in US history tout their efforts to clean up the oil spill swirling around the Gulf, they neglect to mention one thing: they still stand to make millions of dollars over the coming months off it. And for that matter, so does the federal government. In fact, BP could make $85 million over the next 60 days, and the feds could make $19 mil. How could this possibly be?

Answer:
There's been something noticeably absent from the media coverage of the oil spill. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has tallied hundreds of dead birds, sea turtles, and dolphins drenched with oil. But where are the photos? |

Answer:
For so many of us, the worst part of the BP oil spill has been this feeling of total helplessness. No one seems to be able to stop the spill, not even President Obama. And the oil just keeps coming.
But we're not helpless. In fact, we have the power to seize this moment and demand that we get off oil once and for all.
There are also great organizations working to respond to the immediate crisis, and we can help them as well.
That's why we're organizing emergency Oil Spill Vigils across the country this Tuesday—the 50th day since the spill began. There's a vigil in Lexington on Tuesday at Tuesday, Jun. 8, 2010, at 6:00 PM—can you come?

Answer:
The Obama administration recently announced that the Deepwater Horizon explosion is the worst oil disaster in American history, exceeding the Exxon Valdez spill. Yet Republican Representative Don Young (AK) claims the spill is part of a natural environmental cycle. Send a letter to Rep. Don Young urging him to stop defending Big Oil » ------- http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/931/156/695 |
