“BP (BP) has been fined by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) 760 times. By contrast, oil giant ExxonMobil (XOM) has been fined only once.”
Punishing the entire industry for the willful incompetence of BP is stupid, ignorant and counterproductive. It is also typical of power crazed political pinheads who want to nationalize the entire energy sector (and the rest of the economy).
The data demonstrate that -- unlike BP -- the industry has a very good safety record (far, far, FAR better than Mother Nature).
As I previously documented, an utterly irrational response to Three Mile Island severely damaged our capacity to produce electricity from nuclear power. It is absolutely critical that we prevent the power crazed political pinheads from doing even MORE damage to our capacity to develop our enormous hydrocarbon resources.
