The President spoke tonight

Did you listen to the President tonight?

It was good that he took BP to task, and started laying down the enormity of their responsibility.

We were disappointed that he didn’t point out that none of the oil companies have changed their emergency response techniques in years - and that none of them have a clue as to what to do.

It was good that he said, as he and others have said before, that the American people are going to have to do something to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels.

We were disappointed that, although he mentioned solar, wind, and hydro power, he didn’t mention nuclear power or public mass transportation..

One thing I wonder about - why do they keep calling it a "leak"? A leak, well, leaks. This thing is gushing, erupting, coming out in torrents…but leaking?!?

It’s nice to look up and see these beautiful clouds over the Bay of Fundy.
