You may have seen this video, which has surfaced on a number of blogs and has registered over half a million hits: It purports to show oil literally raining from the sky in Louisiana. And watch the clip — which I’ve embedded right after the jump — and you’ll see that it certainly looks a lot like oil. But can oil from the BP Gulf spill really evaporate and then get dumped down miles away as rain?… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Alexandra and Philippe Cousteau inspect tarballs that have washed up on a beach in Alabama. Image courtesy of Philippe Cousteau I got word last night on the way to Alabama that Larry King is doing a two-hour special telethon and that they want me to be a special field correspondent to film and host all the in-the-field segments.

You’re likely going to hear a lot of appeals for expanding nuclear power as a reaction to the BP spill, as a cleaner power source that doesn’t have to be perilously extracted from miles under th… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Image via BP If it all wasn’t so catastrophic, the series of mishaps that have plagued BP’s attempts to contain its gigantic oil spill would almost be comical. Almost. After all, we’ve seen failed ‘top hats’ and ‘junk shots’, the rig literally struck by lightening, and now, witnessed a misguided underwater robot bump into a venting system — forcing BP to again remove the cap that was collecting some of the oil.
