Gulf of Mexico and BP Oil Spill

Updated 2024

There has been continuous damage to the Gulf of Mexico for decades which it will take generations to repair.

 

US Sovereignty was handed over completely to BP for the oil spill resulting in long lasting permanent continuing damage to the environment and a free pass for BP. The full extent of continuing damage by BP and other fossil fuel companies is still being discovered. The destruction is being continued under both republican and democratic administrations. 

The reason we have so many continuously updated references in the below articles covering many years is to show this has been a settled matter for decades.
