The federal laws designed to protect public health, worker safety, and the environment from oil and chemical poisoning are so riddled with exemptions that they cannot deliver their promise of protection.
It is misguided at best and counter to any reasonable concept of independently established regulatory protection to factor economic considerations into the formula for safety regulations.
Whether you're talking about it with them or not, your kids are thinking about the headlines they see and hear about in the news.
Last year, I thought the BP oil disaster might serve as a wake-up call about the importance and vulnerability of our ocean, but instead, it seems many lessons learned have since been forgotten.
Rep. Issa trotted out Gulf politicians intent on bashing Obama administration oil drilling policies. The hearing could have been called, "Making the Oil Industry Whole Again: How the Obama Administration Put Safety Before Profits."
One has to wonder how long Tokyo Electric Power should call the shots. There is something inherently wrong with allowing the hen to rule the hen house. Yet that is what is happening.
The Last Mountain shows that people living near these mines pay a high price for America's addiction to fossil fuels.
Kennedy is not only a second grader from Newbury Park, CA, but she is also proud to be a Friendly Neighborhood Helper. Friendly Neighborhood Helpers is a 501(c)(3) charity that she conceived in order to help kids help others, through art.

The worst danger facing the world today is the arrogance of powerful men and institutions toward the warp and woof of human communities and the weave of life-forms on our planet.
People have long believed that bad weather is some kind of vengeful divine retribution, punishment for our earthly misbehavior. Certainly in the face of extreme hardship, this is a tempting response, based, perhaps, on guilt.
We may never know for certain whether the demise of a dolphin buried beneath the sand in Gulfport was directly linked to the BP oil catastrophe. But we owe it to that dolphin to keep trying to find out.
The oil industry's influence on the political process is holding America hostage. Rather than giving handouts to wealthy companies that endanger our coastal communities, we should be investing in the clean, 21st century technologies.
We have a tone deaf Congress that seems bent on ignoring recent history, including the fact their constituents are still suffering economic, emotional and physical harm from the oil disaster.
There are images and reports that BP and the tourist industry don't talk about much. Most tourists have no idea there are 4,000 oil spills a year in the Gulf. The size and stakes of this oil threat are still as big as they've ever been.
We have to stop dumping radioactive water, oil and dead terrorists in our ocean and treat it with more respect which is why I'm headed to Washington D.C. later this month.
Whether you are a fan of paying down the debt, providing a strong national defense, or protecting social security, if money is sitting in the oil industry's pockets rather than in our national bank account, we are all out of luck.
