Although still expressing regret over the consequences of the BP (NYSE:BP) oil spill, CEO Bob Dudley did strike back some at the excessive media reports that made it look like the world was going to end.
Now that the extent of the damage isn't anywhere close to what was projected, Dudley blasted those who irresponsibly reported the proposed damage as fact.
Dudley said, “I watched graphic projections of oil swirling around the Gulf, around Florida, across and around Bermuda to England. These appeared authoritative and inevitable. From a terrible accident and environmental spill grew a corporate crisis that threatened the very existence of our company.”
Even today accurate reports of little devastation to the Gulf of Mexico is met with scathing criticism because it doesn't meet the narrative of those who oppose drilling for no reason other than it's drilling.
For example, many cite the damage done to wildlife in the region because of the oil spill, but one grouping of wind turbines does more damage as they shred birds and bats to bits than the entirety of the damage done to wildlife for the whole oil spill.
Somehow birds with some oil on them is worse than bird and bat body parts shredded by wind turbines.
It's good to see Dudley strike back at the hype and hysteria coming from the distorted picture created by the mainstream media.

BP (NYSE:BP) Oil Spill Didn't Hurt Birds Much Says Audubon
Experts from the National Audubon Society said after investigating marshes of Louisiana during September, they found the bird populations were doing very well after the BP (NYSE:BP) oil spill.
After walking the area, only 3 birds among an approximate 10,000 counted had any oil on them. Brown pelicans were also found in abundance, with over half being born this year.
Unsurprisingly the Audubon report said it was too early to say the bird populations are safe in the area, but that's being too cautious, as from the beginning reports were the damage to birds was far less than it was thought it would be.
The usual fears about the food chain were reiterated again, even though every test so far for seafood has come back with no taint at all. Either someone is lying or the truth that the spill wasn't anywhere near as catastrophic as the media hype portrayed is what really happened.
One dirty little secret in the so-called green energy sector is windmills in just one ugly forest of them will kill more bats and birds in a year than the entirety of the BP oil spill. When will the outcry against those hideous monstrosities emerge?
As far dead birds, while over 6,100 dead ones have been collected, only 2,263 have had oil on them. That means the rest, for the most part, died of usual natural causes.
The narrative from the spill has always outraged those opponents of oil drilling, as the consequences are far less than thought, and the evidence continues to mount that the Gulf of Mexico is able to clean itself of oil better than expected.
Even the assertions by scientists with agendas that oil is still all over the Gulf and its shores is highly exaggerated and unproven. Certain parts have some of course, but many have little if any. Again, the Gulf is a far better healer of itself than many want to admit.
