Environmental Disaster Continues to Grow

The destroyed oil drilling rig is continuing to spill oil, but not just 42,000 gallons a day - more like 200,000 gallons a day: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_gulf_oil_spill

In addition to 11 lost lives, this is turning into an environmental catastrophe, and appears likely to be an economic disaster as well, with its potential effect upon fisheries and other resources.

This spill has shown the vacuousness of the claims that "drill, baby, drill" is an energy policy. Let us hope that BP can and will use all of its resources to stop the leak soon.
