The report by NPR this morning is that BP got up and left
without any additional contact. South Alabama has evidently
held firm with not signing a Contract that would restrict
its ability to provide peer review data to the scientific
community. It appears to be the standard form legal
documents the tobacco industry tried unsucessfuly to impose
on its research scientist. If I am not mistaken each state
reserves the right to mandate disclosure of health related
issues. Each scientist indicated that their reputation was
more important than selling out to a corporate giant. Since
BP was reported to have doctored pictures of the response
command center, it is clear they are looking for whores of
the industry without british accents. From what i know of
the scientist that enjoy the coast, and their affection for
the work and enviroment, they won't be selling out. Alot of
outsiders will be pulled in to look like they are locals.
$225 an hour is too small for selling your soul and
heritage/legacy. I belive the mold whores went from $300 to
$550.
