There's alot to be said about this subject. Perhaps if boycotting BP isn't a viable solution then perhaps we send letters to our government officials demanding that they make regulatory changes concerning these huge corporations.

It's interesting to me that when automobiles were first being massed produced they averaged about 10 mpg. Hmmmm. In 100 years we have been smart enough to go to the moon and back, create an atomic and hydrogen bomb and many other super inventions but we can't design an engine to get more than 50 or 60 mpg (at best). It seems like the automakers are partners with the oil companies to attempt to keep us oil dependant.
