Why wouldn't people buy gas from BP? Now, I've never been a customer of BP because around here gas at their stations is always more expensive than at the Shell stations. But, if you were a BP customer, why stop just because of the spill?
Oil spills are a common occurrence around the world. But, completely apart from that, the US government forces companies to drill out in deep water where the task is greatly complicated by the depth they are forced to drill. Now, I don't mean to say that BP shares no blame here but the US government shares an equal or larger share of the blame for stupid regulations and restrictions imposed by liberal politicians. And, of course, the spill was made worse by our current administration hamstringing efforts at containment. There was no reason the oil should have ever reached shore but this administration was slow to respond and turned away foreign assistance and refused to use all the resources that our own country had.
Had I been a BP customer I would not have stopped because of the spill.
