Peter Lehner, the executive director of the National Resources Defense Council, and author Bob Deans explore the circumstances surrounding BP's oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.

  • "Deepwater Horizon was supposed to be the cutting edge of energy exploration: drilling five thousand feet below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico, the $560 million rig would be indispensable in helping to solve the ongoing energy crisis. Then, on April 20, 2010, BP's dismal safety record came home to roost. An explosion followed by a massive fire ball resulted in eleven lives lost, the sinking of the rig, and the release of millions of barrels of crude oil into one of the world's prime fishing grounds. The barrels suffocate the Gulf's waters--the resultant slick covers 2,500 square miles. Wildlife in the region is devastated, as is the human community dependent on harvesting the area's resources. This book provides a brief account of the disaster and the policy failures that caused it and--lays out a blueprint to avoid future catastrophes."@en
