BP FAIL
" Just last month, Dame Helen Mirren bemoaned the trend in Hollywood to cast Britons as movie villains. Recent film baddie roles have been played by Sir Ian McKellen, Paul Bettany, Alfred Molina, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Sir Ben Kingsley and Christopher Lee.
It has largely fallen to Tony Hayward, the 52-year-old brought in to replace Lord Browne as chief executive following an earlier US disaster in a Texas refinery, to try to ensure that BP is not added to the canon of British bad guys. "

I wrestle with this one. How are we going to fill the gap between the world's energy needs and ever more problematic fuel production? Should the response be to reject O&G - not to mention coal, which so regularly claims miners' lives - as quickly as possible? Or should we be pumping billions into sustaining these fossil industries? How can we drive them to be more sustainable and to value HS&E if we're desperate for kilowatts and petrol gallons?
I fail to see the answer. And very soon, I may lose the chance even to ask the question.
