[PAA-Discuss] FW: FW: Greg Palast: British Petroleum's "smart pig"

[donald cook]

I find Palast, good though his work has been elsewhere, a little weird on 
peak oil.  British Petroleum has looked nothing but bad on this pipeline 
thing.  They ignored the warning signs, took a risk, and bet that their 
pipeline could last till Alaska was drained of oil rather than spend what 
they should on the maintenance of it.  They lost, and have been justifiably 
embarassed.  And they now have to spend more money than they would have, the 
fools.
