  1. Harris feels pressure on water plan

    Legislation proposed by Rep. Andy Harris that would direct federal money to study oxygen-starved "dead zones" in the Chesapeake Bay and the Gulf of Mexico is facing criticism from some environmentalists who are concerned that the measure would prioritize research over action.

  6. Business as usual in the Gulf

    A year ago today, the nation gasped in collective horror at the catastrophic explosion of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, the loss of 11 workers' lives, and the beginning of what would become a months-long gush of some 200 million gallons of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Time was when such events spurred a cleansing tide of soul-searching and reform. Not this time. Subsequent reforms have been slight, most gulf drilling continued all along, and new permits are now being issued for more deepwater sites — even in the face of reports that the supposedly "failsafe" blowout preventers that are the industry's last line of defense against spills are prone to failure. If I had to bet whether we'll have another major spill, I'd put my money down in a heartbeat.
