Shocking New Numbers

The government has released new data on the BP Deepwater spill, from the article
"By comparison, Exxon Valdez, the previous worst U.S. oil spill, was just about 11 million gallons. The worst peacetime oil spill, 1979's Ixtoc 1 in Mexico, was about 140 million gallons over 10 months. The new figures mean Deepwater Horizon is producing an Exxon Valdez size spill every five to 13 days."

An Exxon Valdez is pouring into our oceans every 5 to 13 days?!?

BP Protests/Boycott

The NY Times has a good article about protests at BP stations including AM/PM stores and it also includes a link to the Boycott BP Facebook page which currently has over 300,000 members.
