Before I get to the energy, I'd like to let everyone know that I've created a bracket challenge for the 2010 FIFA World Cup @ ESPN.com. You can sign up here. If that link doesn't work for some reason, go to the ESPN Fantasy Games homepage here. Group name: dailykos wc challenge Password: dkos Hope to see everyone there. BTW, if no one else beats me to it, I plan on writing a World Cup preview diary, probably tomorrow. With that, on to the energy!

Fiddling in Bonn while the Gulf oil spills
by Desmogblog
It almost seems like there is a firewall between the urgency of the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico and the pace of the climate treaty negotiations underway in Bonn, Germany this week. The two are very much intertwined.

The Oil We Eat

A new report from the United Nations Environment Programme advocates what many environmental and animal rights activists have been urging for eons -- GO VEGAN! "A global shift towards a vegan diet is vital to save the world from hunger, fuel poverty and the worst impacts of climate change."

WHERE THE F&*K IS THE REMORSE?
by incondite
I woke up this morning to this diary and finally it happened. I couldn't breath. I choked up. I felt sick. I ran outside and screamed for a good 20 minutes. I threw things. I punched things. I begged to a god I don't even believe in. I looked and felt ridiculous. But what the fuck else can I do? I feel so completely helpless. I can't contribute, I can't volunteer. I can't do anything to solve this mess because the monsters who created it made it impossible to do so. So now I want to know: where the fuck is the remorse of these criminals? I don't mean self-pity for crashing stock prices. I mean real remorse. I mean remorse for murdering hundreds of thousands of innocent wildlife. I mean remorse for killing 11 hard workers. I mean remorse for destroying one of the most beautiful places in the world. I mean remorse to the millions of people who will lose their jobs, tourism, and livelihood for decades. I mean remorse for the dirtied beaches and wetlands that will never again look the same. I mean remorse for the irreparable damage that you have done to our beautiful Earth, damage you cannot fix.

Bill Gates owns BP (Updated) [Poll]
by blue aardvark
The news has been broken that BP is going to proceed with plans to pay out $10B/year ($2.5B/quarter) in dividends to shareholders. This naturally leads to questions. Such as: $10B would pay for a lot of cleanup in the Gulf, wouldn't it? And: Who gets this money? The answer to that second question is available here. Here is a linkto BP's regulatory filings in the UK. Follow me below the fold for discussion.

What Are You Gonna Do With All That Rage?
by beach babe in fl
There is a diary on the rec list today and it's title includes All the Rage in the Known Universe is Inadequate. As you can see when you scroll through the diary (I was unable to look after the first couple of photos) it is photos of birds covered in oil from the BP caused oil gusher in the Gulf of Mexico. The photos are horrible records of suffering and do bring increased feelings of rage, sadness and helplessness. We don't yet know if the oil gusher was caused by willful negligence, incompetence or a combination of the two, that will be determined by the Obama administration commission to investigate the oil gusher. We must know by now that it was caused by our addiction to oil and our reliance on oil to maintain our position atop the list of world's largest oil consumers.

The oil spill is my fault.
by adsdan
Considering all the blame for the disaster unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico being thrown at everyone from BP to the President, I would just like to say, this oil spill is my fault too.

by The Media Consortium
by Sarah Laskow, Media Consortium blogger A cap placed over a severed pipe is siphoning some oil from the broken BP well in the Gulf Coast, the company said today. The company's CEO said this morning on CBS that it was possible that this fix could capture up to 90% of the oil, but that it will take 24 to 48 hours to understand how well this solution is working. Adm. Thad Allen, the former Coast Guard chief and oil spill incident commander, called the cap "only a temporary and partial fix."

Again, Rachel links to Fishgrease Booming School
by Julie Gulden
In Rachel's show last night, she had a conversation with Michael Blum. In that conversation, you can hear shades of Fishgrease. Without Fishgrease's diary: Booming School she would probably not have known what questions to ask Professor Blum. In the interview along the coast, she asks about "booming done correctly" and receives much the same information that Fishgrease gave. She then links once again to Fishgrease's diary.
