BP Top Kill strategy fails

We’ve been waiting to see what the results of BP’s Top Kill attempt on the oil spill in the Gulf. CNN reports today that Operation “Top Kill” has failed and that BP is moving on to a next step.

Current estimates have this spill at about twice the amount of the Exxon Valdez spill of 1989, making it the worst in US history. It may become the worst, period.

I wish I had something more hopeful and positive to say about this situation, but I simply don’t. I can only hope it will further the push toward renewable, sustainable, clean energy and the technology to harness it.
