Some great comments from y'all in the oil spill piece. I want to thank everyone for taking the time to read and comment on it.
The NYT ran a piece about the oil contamination that's been going on in the Niger Delta for about tha last 50 years now. Unbelieveable. I urge everyone to read that. And remeber the term, "externalization of cost" the next time someone tells you how "cheap" oil is as an energy sorce: It's cheap because these companies never have to pay to clean up after themselves afterwards.
This insanity needs to end. Electric Cars, Solar, wind... I favor Nuclear myself, in the near-term anyway. But the "burning shit" model (oil, coal) of generating power needs to end.
