BP Oil Spill Flow Rate Vastly Understated For Weeks, Emails Show


Emails that attorneys representing a defendant in the BP oil spill case plan to introduce in February show for the first time that the oil company knew the massive scale of the 2010 blowout in the Gulf of Mexico weeks earlier than previously disclosed.
BP has long maintained that it provided full disclosure to the public and the federal government about its knowledge of the spill’s extent and did so promptly. The emails suggest otherwise.

BP has been banned by the federal EPA from obtaining new contracts from the US government because of its lack of integrity and its dishonest business practices. NY State should parallel the federal government and not allow BP to submit any projects to the PSC Siting Board until it has demonstrated a minimally adequate ethical intent.
