Thanks for the link ... I'll watch it this afternoon after my ToDo list is ToDone.
Side note: I was surprised to find that BP has THE contract to supply gas/oil to the US military. So we allow BP to harvest oil on US property and pay them for it. Sounds like a deal was made eh?

I think they pay royalties, income taxes and take considerable investment risk in producing the oil too. Always amazing that people assume oil companies produce oil the Jed Clampett way.

Well that is what their propaganda department puts out for folks to swallow anyway
Oil spill are nature of the oil business and nothing can be done about it no matter how careful they are… today BP tomorrow Exon or Shell. Incidents happen, even adults [censored] in their pans from time to time.

You do realize that the federal and state governments make more profit from every gallon of gas than the oil companies do. Explain it away as propoganda or whatever you want to use to rationalize your position but the facts are the facts.

And why shouldn't it be? it is a an efficient way of measuring how much use of the infrastructure (road, military along the oil import route, political contribution to other nations to secure our low cost, etc) each individual and corporate uses.
