“[BP CEO John] Browne was distracted by his pet issues of climate change and environmentalism, and by his flirtations with the public spotlight.... he had been obsessed with branding the company and lowering its carbon footprint at the expense of BP’s real business, producing and selling oil.”
~ Abrahm Lustgarten, from his 2012 book Run to Failure: BP and the Making of the Deepwater Horizon Disaster, quoted in the post "‘Beyond Petroleum’ Now ‘Big Promises’ at BP"

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
