Stop BP from drilling

I’m angry about the oil spill in the Gulf, but what makes me angrier is that BP is planning its next experiment with our oceans right now. Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you… Liberty Island. An insane plan that involves a man-made gravel island, drilling two miles down, and seven miles across. Check out this image in the New York Times. The Liberty oil drilling project in Alaska’s Arctic Ocean is a project BP describes as one of “its biggest challenges to date.” Extended reach drilling technology is unproven and more prone to the types of gas kicks that the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon. So, what do you say, Greenpeace supporters? Let’s stop this insanity! I’m writing a letter, and getting friends to write letters to Ken Salazar, Obama’s Secretary of the Interior, who has the power to say no to BP. Join me and Greenpeace activists to stop BP.
