LONDON (Reuters) - BP Plc has been hit by over 2,200 new lawsuits seeking payback for the 2010Gulf of Mexico oil spill in the past few weeks as individuals, companies and government bodies rushed to stake their claim before their right to do so expired.
The British oil company, whose deepwater Macondo well ruptured on April 20, 2010, killing 11 men and spilling crude into the sea for weeks, revealed the number of new claims made since March 6 in its first-quarter results on Tuesday.[Yahoo News]

Every time I read about another lawsuit against against BP a little smile forms on my lips.
And, there likely will be more lawsuits filed in the future by residents of the Thousand Islands including the big island who will hold wind developers, their experts and community outreach people and leaseholders responsible for now proven losses in property values. What is often considered common sense becomes law.
Many years ago Bob wrote an opinion that there would always be a shadow of doubt cast over Cape Vincent wind development because of the conflicts of interest.
