Spill Here, Spill Now, Whine Later 0
Buccaneer Petroleum’s new CEO, Bob Dudley, has taken to complaining that BP got a bad rap for bespoiling the waters of the Gulf of Mexico (and, likely, any place ultimately touched by the Gulf Stream). At MarketWatch, Jim Jelter pops his bubble (emphasis added). A nugget:
As for the “leak,” it turned out to be the biggest offshore oil spill ever in U.S. waters, gushing 185 million gallons into the Gulf of Mexico over nearly three months. That’s 17 times more oil than the Exxon Valdez dumped into Alaska’s Prince William Sound in 1989.
