Message of support I sent to BP on the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico

I am embarrassed by the media's and the government's negative treatment

of BP concerning the situation in the Gulf of Mexico. Nothing in life

is risk free and the search and production of oil resources have risks

associated.  Accidents happen and should not be treated as criminal

events.

BP should be congratulated for its success in discovering new reserves

of oil.  In my life the cost of fuel has always been a significant part

of my expenditures. More supplies of oil keep fuel costs down for all

of us. 

The costs of the cleanup and solution to this accident should be born

by all who benefit from the supply of oil and that means all of us who

use fuel should bear the costs. BP should not bear the costs alone.

I would appreciate knowing if BP is receiving any other supportive

messages such as mine.

Thanks!

Captain R. P. Siano

Dear Captain Richard P. Siano 

Thank you for your support and comments. I assure you, BP is doing

everything possible to contain the oil and minimize environmental

impacts. We are working hard to clean up the effects of this spill. 

   

We know we will be judged by the success we have in dealing with this

incident and we are determined to succeed for everyone's sake - and, of

course,  for the sake of the environment. 

   

We are taking full responsibility for the spill and we will clean it

up, and where people have legitimate claims for damages we will honour

them. 

   

Regards,
