I just read where BP is shutting down a major portion of the Prudhoe Bay oil field due to corrosion in a transfer pipeline. They ain't so dumb. Of course they apologized to the citizens of Alaska for the lost tax revenue. Shutting down a line to PREVENT and oil spill: Good, even to ardent environmentalists. Helping Congress to realize that 400,000 bbls of oil per day makes a difference: Good. My bet is that they'll be drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge by this time next year.
