But You Can Trust Us With ANWR

BP, which used to be British Petroleum has rocked oil markets with news it must close it's Alaskan oil pipeline because of neglect and lack of maintenance. Eight percent of U.S. oil production is lost. And you though gas prices were already high? I'm reminded of all the assurances these pipelines wouldn't ruin the pristine and fragile environment in northern Alaska. Bullshit. And we're supposed to trust these people with preserving the Arctic National Widlife Refuge? I don't think so.

This is what happens when you emasculate the EPA and cease regulating business.
