Deepwater Horizon
I must have deleted the e-mail about Deepwater Horizon; I think it was from Peace Now...?

Why is the GOM shoreline so much lower in value the California shoreline? And, if you stop offshore drilling, you are left with fields deep in their decline. If you exclude the Alaska Wildlife Refuge and offshore, you're down 75% in recoverable oil. Basically, we'll be importing 90% of our oil. Tax, conserve, find alternatives and leave the oil in the ground. Here and elsewhere. If only we'd listened to Jimmy Carter. In any case, thanks for the info in your earlier post about possible causes; interesting stuff. One thing; you can speculate about this being a black swan, but there's no real way to confirm that. Even if this kind of thing happens only a couple of times a century, that's way too often. Doug ___ http://box535.bluehost.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com

Stop burning it for fuel, and start using it for plastic feedstocks. And stop using 1000-year plastics for disposable packaging and start using them for stuff that will be around for 1000 years.
