Memo to U.S. House: It ain’t a “spill,” it’s an undersea volcano spewing 3 million gallons a day — two Exxon Valdezes a week. That’s the point of this hearing.
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to watch the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee hearing, but you can today 2 pm edt– click here.
I definitely think it worth watching given who the witnesses are:
Steve Wereley, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Purdue University Richard Camilli, Associate Scientist, Applied Ocean Physics and Engineering, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Michael Freilich, Director of the Earth Science Division, NASA Frank Muller-Karger, Professor of Biological Oceanography and Remote Sensing, University of South Florida
Werely has been all over the news and the source of many of the figures that I have cited — see Should you believe anything BP says?
Finally, here’s a good piece from The Atlantic, “Why BP Won’t Measure the Oil Spill.”
