The NYT has several article on the Deepwater Horizon spill that may be of interest: One, most of the oil that is believed to have leaked from the well has evaporated or otherwise been dispersed (see here). "The government is expected to announce on Wednesday that three-quarters of the oil from the Deepwater Horizon leak has already evaporated, dispersed, been captured or otherwise eliminated — and that much of the rest is so diluted that it does not seem to pose much additional risk of harm." Two, the well itself may soon be sealed (see here). Both sound like good news!
