James,
It is hard to buy gas anywhere and be responsible. I won't buy from Exxon (they fought reasonable payouts to victims of their spill and fought them all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court).
Shell has supported the regime in Nigeria that killed environmental activists including Ben Saro Siwa.
Now BP.
Here's a great summary by the Sierra Club of the positives and negatives of many of the companies:

Is it because the technology makes the best sense, for certain applications, ...or... are we trying to take a bite out of BP (i.e. the oil industry)?
