In this video, Sim McKenna - climber and Greenpeace activist - discusses his preparations, with a Greenpeace team, to occupy the Stena Don oil rig, in the deep water in the Arctic Ocean.

• Mike Papantonio, Patrick Hennessey, and Stopping Drilling

  September 8, 2010

  The oil companies' conduct in the Gulf of Mexico are the "equivalent of getting drunk on a fifth of liquor, driving 80 miles an hour through a school zone and killing a child," says Mike Papantonio, Ring of Fire radio host and attorney representing Gulf residents in their lawsuit against BP. But despite such conduct, BP wants to keep drilling, claiming it'll cost jobs if they don't keep pumping out oil.
