Exploring the Gulf Oil Spill:
What Does it Mean for Energy in the U.S.?
Live Webcast June 2, 1:00 PM ET / 10:00 AM PT


Join us live A month after the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon and into the ongoing oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the full environmental costs of the disaster remain unclear. However, some of the event's implications for the oil industry, the political environment, and the future of energy in the United States are already beginning to take shape.

Join us and a panel of industry and policy experts, as we explore the circumstances that led to the Gulf oil disaster and dig into its potential ramifications, for offshore drilling and much more:
  • To what extent can we attribute the event to a systemic failure of the industry, government, or otherwise?
  • What changes can or should be made to prevent future events?
  • How will the event affect the relationship between the oil industry and regulators? What about other energy industries?
  • We'll answer questions from the audience live during the webinar.

Fwd: What BP doesn't want you to see

Dear Scotty,

I just finished watching this video -- and I hope every American sees it.

Philippe Cousteau, grandson of famous explorer Jacques Cousteau, went underwater off the Gulf Coast to see first-hand what the Deepwater Oil Disaster looks and feels like. And the answer he came back with: "This is a nightmare."

Watch this video and share it with all your friends.

Watch the Video

We've seen the oil start to wash up on shore, and we've seen satellite images of the slick. But that's only the tip of the iceberg: Take a look at the underwater impact of the oil geyser and the dangerous chemicals BP is using to "disperse" it -- effects that could last for decades, even if today's risky "Top Kill" maneuver to plug the well works.

It's never been clearer: The consequences of our dependence on oil, from the Deepwater Oil Disaster to the climate crisis, are completely unacceptable.

Sincerely,

David Boundy
