Will BP Own Their Mess

LATimes has a sobering and sad look at the 'spill' caused by BP off the coast of Louisiana:

the problem with the April 20 spill is that it isn't really a spill: It‘s a gush, like an underwater oil volcano. A hot column of oil and gas is spurting into freezing, black waters nearly a mile down, where the pressure nears a ton per inch, impossible for divers to endure. Experts call it a continuous, round-the-clock calamity, unlike a leaking tanker, which might empty in hours or days.

I think it's time to start to move the whole country 'Beyond Petroleum,' don't you think?
