We're Too Busy Being Green

BP has been so busy trying to convince people, who feel guilty as they enjoy mobility and climate-controlled homes, that they are a "green" company, that they forgot to do basic maintenance and let some employees get killed. Whoops, we're homocidally negligent but at least we have unaided recall as "environmentally friendly" of 37% in 18-35s!!

The infuriating thing about this is that the energy industry has drastically increased the safety of energy use and reduced the environmental impact of energy exploration over the years. And then some doofus company like BP sets the industry back 10 years in the eyes of the public because they can't keep their refineries from exploding, which largely is, and ought to be in the absence of the BPs of the world, a phenonmenon of the 1950s and 1960s.
