So who speaks the truth?
In fact it doesn't matter. You can smudge yourself in oil and go start protesting at BP's headquarters, or get a bag of popcorn and enjoy the show as people rush in panic because they're responsible, and everybody knows. These disasters are the only things that can prevent further exploitation of the earth. Look at nuclear power plants. One accident in Chernobyl and nobody wants a nuclear plant again. A pity though, such clean energy production. Oil winning not so much.
