Government Exempted BP from Environmental Review
Federal government regulators exempted British Petroleum from a comprehensive environmental review of the project that resulted in the recent catastrophic and ongoing oil gush into the Gulf of Mexico. According to recently released documents, the Minerals Management Service granted BP a “categorical exclusion” from a full review before approving the project just over a year ago.
NOTE TO SELF AND EVERY ONE: Let's stop calling this event "a spill."
