"Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained" (Kathy Kattenburg, The Moderate Voice, 6/28/10) BP (non)research

This is outrageous. This from the article regarding budgeting for clean up research - or lack thereof:

Now, that still does not account for money spent on clean-up — on actually responding to oil spills, explosions, or other oil-related accidents when they do happen. Right? Well, first, BP did not do its own oil spill cleanup research. BP contracted out its oil cleanup research to an outside company called Marine Spill Research Corporation. In other words, MSRC was hired by BP to do oil spill cleanup research for BP.

Okay, so what was MSRC’s budget for oil spill cleanup research, how much did it spend in the last three years, and what were the results?

Zero. Zero. And zero. The amount of money in MSRC’s budget for oil spill cleanup research is… was, zero. And when contacted, MSRC said they did not even do that kind of research.
