Well news is they have finally capped the oil leak in the gulf.

But it's not over yet. BP still has to clean up the oil.

Obama pledges $2 billion investment in solar

Two solar energy companies are getting a big investment as the president states that Abengoa Solar and Abound Solar Manufacturing have received funding money from the government.

check the video (it's around the 2 minute mark)


This is great news not only in the jobs mentioned that this will create but of course for the environment.

it's good to see funding for green energy. This is an area that the U.S is sadly lagging on.

It's raining oil

Here is an effect of BP oil spill that I didn't think about until I saw this video...



That's right it's raining oil.

It makes since when you think about the fact that water in all forms does recycle it self in a system of large bodies of water, some evaporation and coming back down as rain.

Oil Spill wont stop tourism

The other day I heard a tourism ad for Florida. Nothing surprising about that except that it brings up the BP oil spill. The ad was basically where sure the oil spill has changed your plains to visit Florida for are beaches due to the oil spill, but we would like to point out the oil has only reached south Florida...we still got clean beaches in north Florida...please visit north Florida.



I realize the tourism is a large part of any states economy and of course any state would do what it can to get people to visit the state. But still I was surprise hearing that ad.

Not so new oil spill

This oil madness in the gulf keeps getting worst.

on NPR's site they mention that a new oil spill isn't that new but actually 6 year's oil...er I mean old.

Support Van Jones

If you don't know green activist Van Jones was fired form his Green Jobs Czar position in the Obama administration due to Glen Beck and Republicans anger over a number of things such as the fact that Jones was the founder of color of change (they are trying to say that group is racist) and after 911 he signed a petition asking for the cause of 911 to be further investigated (something that many of the widows of 911 also signed)

But the truth is they are pushing hard part not only their attack on Obama but also part of their denial that there is anything wrong with the environment.


petition site is holding a petition drive for people to show support for Van Jones


They are looking to get at least 2,500 signatures and as I post this they are only 10% of the way there.
