Food for thought

BP Oil is coming under some heavy scrutiny. David Olive (Toronto Star, 9/May/2010) tells us that the Company, third largest energy company on the planet with 2009 revenues of $246 billion, rebranded itself in a $200 million ad campaign complete with a green, yellow, and white sunflower, as a green, concerned outfit. Of course, its record of safety and stewardship of the environment is completely the opposite. It was BP's failure to activate a blow-out preventer that ruptured the Gulf well and cost eleven lives.
