BP ... Belching Pollution?

Remember, BP, which touts "Beyond Petroleum" in it's ads is the company responsible for leaks in the Alaska Pipeline, major fire which killed over a dozen workers at a refinery ...

Chicago gagged at hearing on BP :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Metro & Tri-State:
"Asked about excluding the Chicago representatives, Pelath said that while 'we're all countrymen, we all live under the same flag . . . this is an Indiana hearing.' The City of Chicago has suggested technical methods its experts say would reduce pollution from the plant expansion.
Environmentalists were not altogether encouraged by testimony by a BP official who indicated that most of the suggestions wouldn't work."


Anti BP Editorial: Boycott BP

"At this point, the only clear message BP is sending is that it wants to have its cake and eat it too. BP executives want their company to be known as the greenest -- as suggested by its logo, meant to resemble a sunflower and show its commitment to the environment. But they also want to dump in our lakes. They can't have it both ways."
