UPDATE - Diving into the Oil - Finally Seeing under the Water

by Ellinorianne

"Philippe Cousteau Jr. and Sam Champion take hazmat dive into Gulf's oily waters." Quite a headline but that's just what they do and you get to see, first hand, what it looks like to swim through the muck of dispersant and oil that is looming under the surface. It's a metaphor for so much that is wrong with our energy policies in this Country, the costs that we don't see, that are out of sight and out of mind but this disaster is bringing it to full sight now, isn't it? It's something we cannot turn away from.
