I would think so. The hysterical cry to protect BP from Obama thuggery is pretty silly. The company is plenty capable of handling the costs of this spill and cleanup.They have pledged $20 for compensation of financial damages to be paid into an escrow account over the next 4 years. To put that in perspective, they will make something in the order of $68 billion in that 4 years. So the talk of bankruptcy is just foolishness.
BP is a sound company with enormous oil assets. Sooner or later, mankind will move beyond fossil fuel reliance, but there is no sign of that happening tomorrow, and there is a great weight of political effort in the West to delay that day as long as possible. Cnamces are when the day finally does come, the big coal and oil companies will just roll their efforts into providing energy using the new methods.
