1.1 Million Gallons of Toxic Chemical Dispersants Now in the Gulf

Posted on June 15, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Photo via OSTC With the gruesome pictures of oil-covered birds and soiled shorelines now rolling in, and the narrative of the spill split between BP’s continued inability to get a handle on the flow from the source and the federal government’s inability to get a handle on BP, an important element of this debacle has slid under the radar: BP has continued to deploy hundreds of thousands of toxic chemical dispersants into the Gulf — despite repeated directives from the EPA demanding th… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Is the BP Oil Spill Really the US’s Energy Policy 9/11? Hopefully It’s Much More Than That

Posted on June 14, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

photo: slagheap via flickr If you’ve paid attention at all to the headlines today, you’ve undoubtedly noticed that during his latest trip to view the BP oil spill clean-up efforts President Obama likened the changes this disaster could have in energy policy to the way 9/11 changed US security policy . I’ve been sitting with this comment all day, wondering if it’s accurate or just evocative rhetoric. The thing is, transforming the way we use energy is even more complex than changi… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Why We Should All Be Paying More at the Pump

Posted on June 14, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Photo via Wired This is doomed to be an unpopular post, I’m afraid. So let’s just come right out with it: You should be paying more for gasoline. And you should be paying more for a number of other goods and services as well, like electricity generated from coal-fired power plants. We all should. Why? Because of a simple economic concept that, frankly, we should hear way more about than we do. I’m talking about externalities, and in the wake of the BP Gulf spill , it’s high time we take a closer look at… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Image credit: The Onion Apparently it’s not just BP failing f***ing booming school we have to worry about anymore. Nor the terrible effect that the oil spill is having on UK pensions (I hope someone told the sea turtles!). If The Onion is to believed, there’s an even more menacing threat.

BP CEO’s Idiotic Remarks Receive Video Tribute

Posted on June 9, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Photo via Reuters UK The ongoing crisis in the Gulf has only been made worse by the fact that BP’s CEO Tony Hayward has been spewing tone-deaf gaffes about as fast as the Deepwater Horizon site has spewed oil. His latest, declaring that he’d “like his life back” was evidently too much for his handlers, and he was subsequently reeled in from public view. Now, taking advantage of this momentary pause in Tony Hayword gaffe-dom, the

BP Could Go Bankrupt Over Gulf Spill

Posted on June 8, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Photo via Autoblog Green So far in its coverage of the BP Gulf spill , the media has made much of the fact that the company’s daily profits are higher than its daily cleanup costs, and that after raking in $17 billion in profits last year alone, such costs are but a drop in the bucket. But that’s changing fast — and if a few other factors come to pass, it’s possible that the Gulf spill will end up bankrupting the oil giant. Speculators are calling this possible outcome the “Texaco scenari… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Breaking Down the BP Gulf Spill Blame Game

Posted on June 7, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

At the end of last week, Grist came out with this handy infographic that breaks down where the blame for the BP Gulf spill lies. It’s a useful tool to help visualize the scope of the problems that caused the disaster, and I think it more or less gets it right. And there’s a reason that BP is only 37% responsible, despite being the public face of the spill (as it should). But… Read the full story on TreeHugger

BP Could Make Millions Off Oil it Spilled in the Gulf

Posted on June 4, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Photo via Incident News Even as the perpetrators of the biggest environmental catastrophe in US history tout their efforts to clean up the oil spill swirling around the Gulf, they neglect to mention one thing: they still stand to make millions of dollars over the coming months off it. And for that matter, so does the federal government. In fact, BP could make $85 million over the next 60 days, and the feds could make $19 mil. How could this possibly be? … Read the full story on TreeHugger
