What Can Government Do For BP?
An intriguing question that your students may have time to explore now at the end of the year, is what mechanism, departments, etc. does the US government have to make BP improve the situation in the Gulf. Once the oil leak is fixed, how far can our parts of government - be it federal, state or local go to have BP fix it all up. While your students are pondering, here is a live feed which will include the efforts to fix the problem today. The second video is from the Rachel Maddow show the other day (yes, a liberal show) detailing a 1979 oil spill that sounded (both in the way it happened and in some of the reaction to it) like the current Gulf accident.

It is an entirely free AP book complete with pictures and loads as quickly as others out there. It is put out by Flat Knowledge. If nothing else I would tell your students about it for an additional resource. </div>)
