BP (NYSE:BP) oil seems to want to keep on pretending, by saying things like there are no oil plumes, or that they'll pay off everything and everyone involved with their failure to contain the oil, or how about the fact they are eventually going to file bankruptcy. All the while, the effect of this oil has reached Florida and they are closing their beaches.
Florida has closed over 6 miles of their white sand beaches. What used to be a beautiful beach front filled with bustling tourist staying at Florida's beach resorts this time of year, are now desolate and the white sands are stained with the evidence of the ongoing environmental disaster. Not to mention the massive layoffs that are sweeping the area.
When just days ago BP officials were publicly declaring that Florida would escape the impact of oil upon their shorelines. On Wednesday they were still insisting there are no oil plumes yet the testing done by government showed there are large plumes of crude oil as far as 3,000 feet down. BP seems to be taking a stance of "lets pretend, make believe, or liar liar." Or perhaps they're simply trying to fool the public.
Ken Salazar, The Interior Secretary told U.S. Congress he now expects BP on top of everything else, to pay for canceled salaries of anyone unexpectedly without work because of the six month memorandum on deep ocean drilling.
