Reply #10: THe longer it takes them, the less likely that they will be drilling again

[FrenchieCat]

for a long time. The only thing that they are successfuly doing is turning the public
against the idea of offshore drilling....although of course the polsters are still there
to help BP not believe that this will happen in large enough numbers anytime soon.
I think they would be mistaken. I think they know that each day that passes without an end
to the gurgling oil giant mess the more money they will lose both in the short and in the long run.
If nothing else BP executives understand money very well. This disaster will also help end
oil company subsidies ...which I'm sure is not welcomed news. Obama proposed ending Oil
company subsidies in his 2011 budget, and now it appears that this too will happen.
