Rebecca Tarbotton: Will the BP Oil Crisis get us Beyond Petroleum?

I don't think it's too early to wonder if when the media frenzy settles and the gusher is plugged this oil crisis will fade from political view? Or, will this be the beginning of the end for big oil's slimy influence on our energy future?

I have repeatedly called upon BP to publicly release the air quality data that they claim shows the air is "safe" out there where hundreds of people are working. Well, BP finally responded... kind of.

After 14 hours only 6 comments? I guess too many people are distracted by Lady Gaga. She must be a decoy set up by the government to distract people from reading the important news.

Every Journalist should try their best to go out and see EVERYTHING they can....and if they are stopped....take videos/pics and release it

The more we see videos/pics of BP stopping them....the more likely they will be FORCED to let us see what is ACTUALLY happening

They're still trying to sweep it under the rug as our Gulf is dying. As if in 2-3 weeks, we won't find out that it's completely destroyed. WTF?!?!
