We’re trying to do something that we’ve never done before,” said Erik Cordes, a Temple University coral expert who’s studied the corals damaged by the spill and worked on the government’s restoration plans. “We are in uncharted waters here.”
Oil and other contaminates from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill — one of the worst environmental disasters in history — likely lingered in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico for months longer than experts originally predicted, according to a new study.

In many parts of the country, areas that are now full of houses and schools and shopping centers were once oil and gas fields. You wouldn’t know it by looking, but hidden underground, there are millions of abandoned wells.
Sales are growing very quickly and many new models are coming on line, while battery technology is improving rapidly, with costs falling sharply and energy density rising. However, while these factors suggest that electric vehicles will gain substantial market share it does not say how much how soon.
The looming 2025 federal Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) goal of 54.5 miles per gallon across an automaker’s fleet is one of the driving factors behind a series of advancements in more-efficient engine and powertrain technologies.
OPEC isn’t yet in safe harbor. But ahead of a top-level meeting, the 13-nation oil cartel appears close to weathering the storm of slumping crude prices that threatened to bankrupt some members and called into question its relevance.
Global crude oil supply has suffered significant disruption in recent weeks from sabotage in Nigeria, fires in Canada, and political failure in Venezuela, supporting a rise in prices to nearly $50 a barrel.
