Why has no one seen the obvious. This is a stunt by BP, no doubt at the behest of the oil industry AS A WHOLE, to force oil prices even higher on some lame pretext. If you believe that BP really is shutting down that line because of corrosion, I have a summer home in Al-Anbar Province I can sell you for a song!

What's the basis for your conclusion? Hate for the oil industry or hard evidence?

At first, I thought what you're saying was silly. But, on further thought,,,,,
How could these pipes have corroded so quickly? I 'm the operator of a small water company, and our tanks have been in use for almost 50 years. They were inspected last year, and the inspector said they were good for another forty years at least. And they're full of rising and falling water, not a lubricant type material. What did they make these pipes out of? Tinfoil?
