White House energy adviser Carol Browner has recently been making the talk show rounds and telling the public about a new government assessment that shows that 75% of the oil from BP’s drilling disaster has either been captured, burned off, evaporated or broken down in the Gulf. As she puts it, “Mother Nature did her part….”
You’re not alone if you think that sounds too good to be true.
That’s why we’ve sailed the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise to the Gulf and are embarking tomorrow on a three-month expedition to provide independent scientific analysis of the impacts of both the oil and chemical dispersants on the Gulf ecosystem. We have to know the truth about the damage that was done.
Relying on BP and federal officials to do that job for us would be foolish at this point. From day one, BP was doing everything in its power to hide the true extent of the disaster and they often had the help of a federal government who seemed more concerned with maintaining its public image than addressing the problem. The Gulf deserves better. We deserve better.
But we don’t have to run a single test to prove that oil drilling is dangerous and deadly. BP has done that work for us. And we don’t need any elaborate solutions to solve the problem either. What we need is to put an end to all new drilling and to transition to clean, renewable sources of energy.

Hey Morpheas did you see the dirty pics I
posted above before the spray started? Or did you
mean maybe all that was from last time & now they're cleaning
in order to make a new announcement &
we're watching to see if it's killed LOL...
You could see major leaking before they began
spraying again...
The Green Peace guys will get some good
stuff from the fisherman, they say every time
they pull up an anchor they get oil, they even
put boom on the bottom & collected oil.

Haven't they pulled the top BOP and going to pull the bottom one to find out how it failed. Good to see they are nearly done. Things are looking much better.
