BP Watch: Live Video, Kevin Costner and Greenpeace

Posted by Shirley Brady on May 20, 2010 08:39 AM

- The global oil industry is facing more scrutiny as the world watches BP's actions in the Gulf of Mexico.

- Reuters reports "heavy oil" has reached the Louisiania shoreline as BP prepares plug.

- BP last night agreed to post live video of oil spill in response to US rep. Ed Markey.

- The video stream will be hosted on the website for the Select Committee on Global Warming, which Markey chairs.

- Kevin Costner's post-Exxon oil spill clean-up company, Ocean Therapy Solutions, is helping BP in the Gulf.

- The British oil giant is also facing a new suit (with Goldman Sachs) and considerable needling by Greenpeace.
