SUBTITLE: MONTHS LATER NO END IN SIGHT, PEOPLE STILL BUYING BP GAS!!!
BASIC INFO:
It's now been over a month since the Deepwater Oil Disaster began -- and not only has BP failed to stop the flow of oil so far, but we still don't even know how big the spill is -- because BP won't allow anyone else to investigate the extent of the problem.
The secrecy must stop.
BP is refusing to share information -- data it's already tracking -- that would assist in the response and public understanding of the scope and severity of the Deepwater Oil Disaster. And they have every incentive in the world to keep doing so -- news reports say that the smaller the official estimates of the spill, the lower BP's liability could be in court.1
We don't let criminals investigate their own crimes, and this shouldn't be any different. It's time for BP to get out of the way and allow access for independent scientists and engineers to determine the real size of this catastrophe.
Sign the petition today calling on BP to provide full access to all their data to the government and independent scientists.
Independent reviews by scientists across the country are suggesting that the oil leak may be as much as 19 times worse than the original estimates -- but BP refuses to provide them with the data required to make their estimates more precise. All we know for sure is that the oil just keeps on gushing.
BP is extremely sensitive right now to public pressure -- so let's tell them that we won't stand for them hiding the truth. We'll deliver copies of the petitions and any comments you submit to the CEO of BP, as well as the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency
