Greenpeace: people who really want to punish BP ought to try getting Beyond Petroleum themselves.

nytimes.com
“We would like people to think about this as something bigger than BP,” Mr. Davies said. “All of these companies have us literally over a barrel. They are the dealer, and we are the addict.”

So perhaps the best way for people to express outrage and inflict pain on oil companies is to use less fuel, thereby lowering overall demand. This is much harder than flinging brown paint at a BP sign, as many people have done. It may mean walking more or wearing sweaters indoors in the winter with the thermostat set at 64 degrees. "

My name is Mike, and I am an oilcoholic, trying to recover a bit. It's hard.
