The leaking oil well is capped, the oil is degrading and the coast is clear for fishermen to resume commercial operations, but fishermen on the Gulf coast are eyeing the economic tides and worrying. Gulf Coast of the United States - Mississippi - United States - Gulf Coast - Oil well
Federal scientists are reporting the best possible scenario for BP's leaked oil: Microbes are munching the underwater oil, but not robbing the Gulf of much needed oxygen or creating "dead zones." BP - Oxygen - Oil - Energy - Business

It's still unclear whether this one, like the BP oil spill, will produce a huge gusher.
Image: Google MapsThankfully, No Deaths This TimeAn offshore oil platform exploded and caught fire today in the Gulf of Mexico. It is located about 80 miles off the Louisiana coast, west of the site of BP's massive oil spill. All 13 people who were on the rig were evacuated and only one was injured, reports the U.S. Coast Guard.... Read the full story on TreeHugger
Advocates say harnessing the Gulf Stream could create one-third of Florida's energy needs. Image: NASAWhile most marine power projects rely on turbines or other power-generating devices in relatively shallow water, researchers from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University are attempting a new spin on the concept: Creating swarms of floating turbines, tethered to the sea floor or on movable undersea p
While no particular storm or weather event can be blamed on global warming, science has shown that global warming is indeed causing more frequent and more intense hurricanes.

Image credit: Grassroots Mapping Project, jeferonix/FlickrThough a cap has sealed the leak, the Gulf oil spill disaster is still far from over. However, in the frantic days after the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon platform and the dire months that came after, lessons have been learned—about the
Back in late July, after a summer of struggle, the underwater oil spill caused by the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Rig was finally capped. And then, something wonderful and miraculous happened! The media started remarking that all of the millions of gallons of oil that poured into the Gulf of Mexico just disappeared! Raptured up into Oil Heaven, even! Except: not. But that's not stoppe
Engineers will soon start the delicate work of detaching the temporary cap that stopped oil from gushing from BP's blown-out Gulf of Mexico well and the hulking device that failed to prevent the leak — all while trying to avoid more damage to the environment.

Images via SENSEableCityMIT's Sensable City Lab directo Carlo Ratti and associate director Assaf Biderman have come up with the SeaSwarm, a robot that uses nanofibers to absorb 20 times its weight in oil, and their hope is that it can be developed into a viable solution for cleaning up the Gulf oil disaster. The 7-foot-wide robots sport at 16-foot-long conveyor belt of paper-like nanofibers that
Analysis by Berkeley Lab revealed the dominant microbe in the dispersed Gulf of Mexico oil plume was a new species, closely related to members of Oceanospirillalesfamily. Image: Terry Hazen via Science Daily.In what seems a deus ex machina or perhaps deus ex gaia moment, scientists from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory report that the miles-long deep sea oil plume which resulted from the BP
A newly discovered type of oil-eating microbe suddenly is flourishing in the Gulf of Mexico and gobbling up the BP spill at a much faster rate than expected, scientists reported. Gulf of Mexico - Oil spill - BP - Oil - Environment
