The state of Florida on Saturday filed a lawsuit against BP and Halliburton over the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The suit argues that Florida is entitled to the revenues it lost because of the spill. These include a long list of lost taxes — sales, corporate, cigarette, liquor — and other forms of revenue for the state, such as rental car surcharges. http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/20/us/florida-oil-spill-lawsuit/index.html by WashingtonsBlog
(The above is video shot by a local resident in Mayflower, Arkansas.) And take a look at these must-see pictures of the spill. No one is admitting how much oil was released.

Denmark is nearly one-fifth of the way there. And they plan to do it entirely on renewable energy. According to BP’s annual statistical energy review released last week, the Danes now get 18 percent of their energy from renewables, which is the highest level of any country in the world. It’s also a full four-percent gain from 2010. And the BBC reported in April that the current Danish [...] From Azizonomics: Is peak oil imminent? Lots of people seem to think so. The data (released by BP, a company that has a vested interest in oil scarcity) don’t agree. The oil in the ground will run out some day. But as the discovery of proven reserves continues to significantly outpace the rate of extraction, the claims that we’re facing immediate shortages look trashy.
