Old Guard - The Technology of Oil Spill Cleanup
cnet news writer explores the technology of oil spill cleanup, touching upon the irony that in a high-tech nexus such as the bay area, the technology being used to address this giant environmental issue is relatively low, and, he suggests, antiquated.
as someone surrounded by technobabble and incessant talk of optimization, efficiency, and data in her day-to-day line of work (web 2.0!), i am aghast whenever i get glimpses into industries that have far loftier reasons to be anal about data, staying up on technology, etc and are completely dropping the ball. not that that hot new visualization widget is not important, but i kind of like the ocean too. and more. cnet news writer explores the technology of oil spill cleanup, touching upon the irony that in a high-tech nexus such as the bay area,... more -
Some Bay Area Beaches Reopen; Clean Birds Released

Fed. Criminal Investigation Opened on Calif. Oil Spill
A federal criminal investigation has been opened into a 58,000-gallon spill of heavy bunker fuel into the San Francisco Bay. The spill took place when a container ship slammed into the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge Wednesday. Coast Guard officials acknowledged Friday that they had waited over four hours before notifying the public of the magnitude of the spill. They had previously reported a leak of just 140 gallons.
The oil spill has shut down over a dozen beaches and killed at least 60 birds. Ecologists warn that it could take months to clean up and that it threatens the Bays diverse ecosystem, including several endangered species.
Environmental organizations like Friends of the Earth and San Francisco Baykeeper have condemned the ecological impact of the spill and the slowness of the official response. They are also calling for a ban on the shipping industrys use of the heavily polluting bunker fuel, which they say is a thousand times worse for the environment than highway diesel.
