this is becoming a rather grim task i've undertaken for myself.
today's unfortunate development:

BP admits Deepwater rescue is capturing less oil | Environment | guardian.co.uk

and this provides daily updates of the fiasco, including maps that outline the extent of the spill and also helpfully show just how much of that extent is already caught in gulf loop currents.

Deepwater Horizon Response

the administration threatened today to pull bp off the efforts to stop the leak while at the same time saying that it's only the oil industry that can stop the leak.

so there is no governmental white knight to ride in to save us.

there are only fucking capitalists, the same people whose laxity with respect to planning and stewardship and those other aspects of plundering natural resources that are not cost-effective to think a whole lot about. you know, the people who caused this disaster in the first place.
