I have to admit, the very first thought I had when BP shut down their pipeline was Enron; and how BP could probably make more money without the oil than with it.

I read an interesting thing in the Seattle Times today, where one person in Seattle (from a voluntarily carless family) wondered why nobody even dares suggest that our oil-addicted culture simply use 3% less oil to compensate for the pipeline shutdown. For his family, it would involve a "sacrifice" of driving 1 mile less per day. Other families, harder hit, might have to drive 2 or 3 miles less. Wow... that sounds so un-American, how dare he suggest such a drastic change in our lifestyle!
