A White House report released today largely exonerates BP for the Gulf of Mexico oil catastrophe earlier this year. Assuming the report is correct, notwithstanding the many experts who have pointed to various reckless actions by BP immediately prior to the Deepwater Horizon explosion that killed 11, the case against deepwater drilling is greatly strengthened. For if BP acted responsibly then it is impossible to guard against huge gushers into environmentally sensitive areas. To protect our terribly compromised environment, all deepwater drilling should be halted and a carbon tax immediately implemented.
