On April 20th, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded off the Gulf of Mexico taking the lives of 11 workers and sank as millions of barrels of oil poured into the ocean creating one of the worst environmental disasters in history. The fate of the Gulf is still largely unknown. Dirty Energy tells the personal story of those directly affected by the spill and are now struggling to rebuild their lives amidst the economic devastation and long-term health risks. Still today, the people of the Gulf are fighting for their livelihoods and are desperately struggling to preserve their endangered way of life. This is their story.

Nov 22, 2022One would think that, even in a psychotic society like this one, some things would be kinda obvious- like don't s*** where you eat. Not so. Such a notion requires, at the very least, a modicum of Common Sense- something to be found lacking in most Big Business decisions made in this country (thanks to the total deregulation of Big Business). From Prince William Sound to The Gulf of Mexico, Common Sense never once reared its ugly head and now we find out that there's a Dead Zone fifty miles in diameter in The Gulf. To see a pelican covered in oil desperately gulping polluted water in the hopes it'll sate its thirst is reason enough to feel outrage at what's happening to this country- but, to see those same corporations spending more money on propaganda (i.e.; advertising) than recovery efforts only serves to remind us of just how in-bred Big Business, Television and the Government really ARE in this country.
