Teen solves centuries-old math problem
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17 (UPI) -- The U.S. federal government must stop "coddling oil companies" and force them to pay for the environmental damage they cause, a U.S. lawmaker said.
Court documents released this week indicated that top officials at BP resigned, concerned about safety issues, just months before the April disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
A federal investigation into the spill released in January found the disaster could be traced to "identifiable mistakes" made by BP and its partners in the gulf that put the safety of the industry in doubt.
Menendez said the safety allegations against BP suggest the Deepwater Horizon accident "was not a fluke."
Menendez is also leading the charge against BP's alleged ties to the Scottish decision to release Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset al-Megrahi back to Libya in 2009. Menendez claims BP tried to protect its Libyan interests in the case, allegations the oil company denies.
