Justice is needed for the workers who were killed and their families, the people of the Gulf states, wildlife, marine life and for all Americans. Justice takes many forms, including debarment, civil penalties, criminal penalties, compensation and a proposed Gulf Recovery Fund to balance the injustice of a nation that benefits from offshore drilling, yet leaves the Gulf states to deal with the pain, costs and risks. Justice also means that we fight harder for a climate bill that moves away from fossil fuels. When you look at the issues that arise from this disaster --- such as corporate greed, reckless policies, deregulation, special interest legislation, indifference to humanity and environment, lack of transparency, etc --- they all make the case that we need a real climate change bill that addresses real reform.

Sunday Train: The Liberty Fund, 1 cent/gallon and 1 percent
by BruceMcF
Burning the Midnight Oil for Living Energy Independence Remember the ontroversy over whether the Stimulus would be "going overboard"? Well, when we net Federal, State and Local Government ... there is no Stimulus. The Federal Spending from ARRA was too small to cover the drop in spending at the State and Local government in the last quarter of last year and first quarter of this year. And yet those who are unhappy that we have not yet had a Depression since the 30's have been successful in getting the recipe for a Depression installed as the Conventional Wisdom. This diary is about one strategy to side-stepp the neo-Hooverites with a "fully funded" program that will still provide the stimulus that our economy desperately needs to get the recovery into second gear where it can start cutting into the unemployment crisis.

Changing the Tide, Without Republicans, President Obama Must Act
by Ellinorianne
The unprecedented disasters that seem to be building up around us are numerous. Environmental emergencies are easy to ignore because they happen mostly out of sight, so therefore, they can't be happening for a huge number of those who live around us. Deforestation? I see trees. Climate change, there was snow on the ground just this winter, a lot of it. As eloquently as Bill Maher put it, the lack of sunlight each night does not negate the existence of the sun. Plastic islands floating in our oceans, birds dying around the plastic contents in their stomachs, whales digesting tons of plastic, species lost every year on a scale not seen before unless for reasons that were nature or disaster caused, industrialized farming practices killing oceans and the people it was meant to feed, the problems go on forever and yet we cannot thread all these issues together because for some odd reason either we choose not to, or the more obvious reason, we are forced not to.

Free Food: What Not to Forage
by wide eyed lib
People frequently ask me if I'm concerned that I might someday eat the wrong plant. I'm always nice about answering that no, I'm not at all worried. I know the plants I harvest, and if I can't ID a plant with certainty, I won't eat it. Some people, though, almost can't believe that someone can easily distinguish between individual species. That's sad enough, but then they want to project that inability on to me as well. (Right: Golden Alexander Flower (Zizea aurea) by wide eyed lib. Tea made from the root of this carrot and parsnip relative has been used to reduce fever.) There's also a misconception among some people that you have to know every plant out there before you can forage. That's like saying I would need to know every word before I could read, or like saying that I'd need to see every face out there in order to recognize my dad. Sounds kind of absurd when I put it like that, doesn't it? Covered: poison hemlock

20,000,000
by marabout40
Twenty million a day. That's what this disaster is about. This disaster is about you, me and our 20,000,000-barrels-a-day oil addiction. Until we understand that, and actually do something meaningful in our individual lives to reverse that number, we will have more BP oil "spills." You think putting BP out of business is gonna solve the problem? Ha! Have you seen the list of petroleum companies out there? Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/... take a look for yourself.

Mojo' hikin' / A Capitol Reef Photo Journal
by delmardougster
Capitol Reef? What is that? Is it in the south seas somewhere? I thought you guys were going to take a road trip to go hiking? I know Capitol Reef is not well known but some of the responses I get are downright comical. I guess that is part of the allure - it's far enough of the beaten path that fewer know about it's existence and fewer still make the effort to go. I hope this helps put CRNP on your radar. Tucked away in south central Utah off Highway 24, Capitol Reef National Park is part of an awesome geological feature - a one hundred mile long warped and folded terrain called a Waterpocket Fold. Jutting out of the surrounding landscape, it is visible from miles away. CRNP has miles of trails and countless ravines and mesas to explore. Massive, colorful, and full of life, this is a national park you must make the effort to visit. Get your pack...

Maher ends the 'debate': 'What the f**k is wrong with you people?'
by LaughingPlanet
Bill Maher is a funny guy, but sometimes he can drive me nuts. I literally turned the show off & deleted the recording when he kept interrupting Cory Booker a few weeks ago. Maher sounded like a pompous doofus on "This Week" a month ago. He can be the broken clock of liberal leftist libertarian librarian whatever TV hosts - right twice per day. But the conclusion to Friday's "New Rules" on that little HBO show know as "Real Time with Bill Maher" was one of their better segments in a while. New Rule: Al Gore must come out with a sequel to his movie about climate change and call it - "An Inconvenient Truth II : What the fuck is wrong with you people?" The whole show was above average, with Andrew Sullivan stealing most of the limelight. But I want to hone in on the climax of the night. For embedded video (about 5 mins long) and some transcription, come on down below.

Deepwater Horizon: A Reflection On Our Use Of Oil
by webranding
Let me start off by saying that BP is directly to blame for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill gusher. I think my comments here are totally clear on that point. However, Americans as a whole are also to blame at some level, even if indirectly. We are just addicted to "cheap" oil. It is as simple as that. Oil companies love nothing more than massive windfall profits. So if they could drill for oil in places not located miles from the shoreline and/or water surface, get it with less effort and charge the same price they would. Alas I'd say the "easy to get oil" has already been used up. So I'd say Deepwater Horizon is just what might be the first of many environmental nightmares we're going to see as we search for oil in harder to reach locations. With that little intro, the "meat" of this Diary is my suggestion for how to change our behavior. I'd do realize it might be short term political suicide for our party, but I see no other way to change the behavior of my fellow Americans. We should add a massive, several dollar a gallon tax to all gasoline. Period. Below the fold just a story or two and then let me tell you how this would work.

Jimmy Carter, Solar Energy, and "The Road Not Taken"
by change the Be
Over at reddit, I saw this link about the story behind the solar panels that Carter put on the roof of the white house. [ the lead comment by the reddit reader was : "To every person, especially Republicans, who made fun of President Jimmy Carter for installing solar panels on the roof of the White House to raise awareness of our dependency on oil...Fuck, You. "] http://www.boston.com/... Now, a documentary film has been made about the panels, using them as a backdrop to explore American oil dependency and the political lack of will to pursue alternative energy. Swiss directors Christina Hemaner and Roman Keller follow the route of the panels in the hour-long film "A Road Not Taken." having once dabbled in the vegetable-oil conversion process for a diesel vehicle, and currently a user of micro-solar-technology (in the form of a mag lens used for smoking), this story piqued my interest. Currently, I do not own an automobile..(bicycle!)

Big Pivot from Crisis to Opportunity: Part 1, Politics.
by RLMiller
A sliver of silver lining in the Gulf disaster has been its unflinching spotlight on the wrongs of our fossil-fuelish ways. President Obama understands the connection between the crises of extractive energy and the opportunity of clean energy: But we have to acknowledge that there are inherent risks to drilling four miles beneath the surface of the Earth, and these are risks -- these are risks that are bound to increase the harder oil extraction becomes. We also have to acknowledge that an America run solely on fossil fuels should not be the vision we have for our children and our grandchildren. In the same speech, Obama indicated support for the Kerry-Lieberman American Power Act and promised: "the votes may not be there right now, but I intend to find them in the coming months."

Pelican
by Crashing Vor
In the winter and spring of 2006, we had a lot more pelicans on Bayou St. John than we usually do. They are lovely and graceful birds, over four feet long, six in wingspan clad in gray-brown feathers that seem to shift in hue as the pelicans wheel and dive. As uplifting as it was to see our winged neighbors after an autumn with few signs of life, their visit was a reminder of sad tidings: their home was trashed.

"Doomsday"cuts for public transportation as politicians pay lip service to energy independence
by nyceve
I live in New York City. Public transportation is the life blood of this teeming metropolis. Most people who live in New York don't own cars, we use public transportation for everything. Yet, we are approaching doomsday here, the MTA which runs our transit system has announced huge cuts due to a lack of funding. But New York’s Metropolitian Transportation Agency (MTA) faces a nearly $400 million budget shortfall this year after tax revenues plummeted in the recession. The agency’s debt load has more than doubled in the last decade, it was $13 billion in 2000. It now owes $30 billion in outstanding bonds, payable at interest rates of between two percent to five percent. Seeing the BP catastrophe destroy lives all along the Gulf Coast, and weeping over the graphic images which recount the tragic consequences of our addiction to oil, it is unfathomable that mass transit in New York City and many other great American cities struggles to survive.

Scientists confirm it -- Massive Underwater Oil Plumes are There
by jamess
Lab tests confirm underwater layers of oil Cain Burdeau, AP -- June 4, 2010 Laboratory tests confirmed that oil from a spewing Gulf of Mexico well has accumulated in at least two extensive plumes deep under the surface, scientists with the University of South Florida said Friday. USF researchers at a meeting in Baton Rouge said lab tests showed their initial findings, based on field instruments, were correct. The extensive layers of oil are sitting far beneath the surface miles from the site of the Deepwater Horizon explosion. The university is collecting data for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The lab tests are the most conclusive evidence yet in a vigorous scientific debate about where much of the oil from the growing spill in the Gulf of Mexico has ended up. BP spokesman Mark Proelger said the company was awaiting further analysis of what is in the plumes from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. "It's too early to say whether any data indicates the plumes contain oil or not," Proelger said. Well then WAKE UP and smell the petro, Mark!

BP's Invisible Man: Carl-Henric Svanberg

I wonder what the odds are that you have never heard of him, it is rather stunning that we haven't seen more of him. Well he just happens to be the Chairman of the Board. Whilst the CEO of BP runs around like a headless chicken creating aural damage to go along with environmental catastrophe, the rest of the pack of weasels that make up the BP board of directors are notably silent. Even the Telegraph wondered about him last year So does his relative obscurity matter? I think the answer is probably yes, at least in the short term. He doesn't seem to be well known in diplomatic circles and that's a big part of the role. He'll be dealing, on sensitive issues, with politicians and civil servants as much as other business people or shareholders. Well I think they have an answer to their initial concern. The Chairman of the board of directors of BP has been stunningly silent during this three ring circus. Well it looks as if his own executives have woken up:

Overnight News Digest: Science Saturday (World Festival of Science 2010 edition)
by Neon Vincent
Welcome to Science Saturday, where the Overnight News Digest crew informs and entertains you with this week's news about science, space, and the environment. This week's featured story comes from the New York Times. Salute of the Stars, Cosmic and Otherwise By JAMES R. OESTREICH Published: June 3, 2010 As the host of the opening-night gala performance of the World Science Festival at Alice Tully Hall on Wednesday evening, Alan Alda promised a trip through the cosmos "at the speed of art." And on this occasion, at least, art stepped lively. Just as well. The evening was presented in honor of the British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, who — though by now rendered physically immobile by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s disease — took the trouble to appear in person, upstaging even the likes of the cellist Yo-Yo Ma. More science, space, and environment stories after the jump.
