Research Question: What happened with the BP oil spill in 2010?
Working Thesis Statement: The BP oil spill polluted much of the ocean and shore lines.
Refined Thesis Statement:
"Deepwater Horizon: Transocean Fined $400m for BP Oil Spill Pollution."International
Business Times 14 Feb. 2013: Points of View Reference Center. Web. 11 Nov. 2014.
This article from International Business Times is helpful because it helps explain all of
the financial issues and tells all the spending that BP had to make after all the damage was made.
It also explains how 11 rig workers died and around five million barrels of oil were spilt. To fix
the leak in the pipe it took three months. It also talks about BP breached the Clean Water Act and
is being fined for violating it. This article will be helpful to my research because International
Business Times tells what BP had to pay back all the different fines being billions of dollars.
