Who is running that directly controls the price of gas? I didn't think anyone did, but if you know someone who does... I'd be interested in voting for them.

Thumbs down

Gas prices might rise again after today's accident off of the coast of India. A large work boat ran into BP's platform and it burned down. This is supposedly the main oil supply for India, so it will most likely affect the rest of the world too.

Look at the photo attached.

If by "today's accident" you mean "an accident that happened in 2005"... then yes, you are correct.

I was forwarded the info today, can't find any confirmation on which platform it is or if it happened today or 2005. Got a link? I found some July 2005 stuff, but no photos, and it didn't say it was a BP platform in 2005.

Whoever started that up again proves people will do anything to discredit and try to make oil companies look bad.... unless it's still burning today.
