Oil spill updates etc.

Not much else was in the environmental news this week, and there are many more articles on the subject.

ECO-NEWS, WEEK 5

The latest: it's baaaaaaaaaaaad, hasn't quite reached the coast yet, and may enter the Gulf Stream. Economies and ecosystems are gravely threatened, and Obama has temporarily halted new oil drilling in all US waters. (AP)

Possible fates of the recovered oil [posted before they started burning it, so might not still apply, but interesting.] (Slate)

Some of the political fallout.

In other news...

As you probably heard, the nation's first offshore wind farm was approved. (MSNBC)

Living on Earth: Documerica, valley fever, GE alfalfa and Cuban agri-culture.
