google Juneau empire and read story for yourself. Valdez: BP owned controlling interest in consortium handling Valdez cleanup (Alyeska I think)"Yet the leader of botched containment efforts in the crtical hours after the tanker ran aground wasn't Exxon it was BP PLC. What could have been an oil spill covering a few acres became one that stretched 1,100 miles said Walter Parker the commission chairman. They were not prepared to respond at all: " they did not have a trained team...the equipment was buried under several feet of snow. The commissions report dedicated an entire chapter to failures by aleyeska (read BP). PS the head of alyeska just went to jail for bribing alaska legislators and about a dozen, all Republican legislators have either gone to jail or been indicted for bribary from the oil companies.
