Dylan, all I get is stuff I already knew about (asphalt volcanoes etc) and some nutjob conspiracy theorist?

Why if they were tapping into asphalt volcanoes would they do it in the gulf, plenty of shallower ones about the world?

Ah. Are you one of the people unaware that BP is 40% UK owned and 39% US owned? Or are you one of the people who knows but who prefers to ignore it?
