An Earth Day special that coincides with the two-year
anniversary of the April 20 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the worst
in U.S. History. What became of all that oil? And what's the future
of offshore drilling? Segments will include a profile of the work
of social scientist Dr. Steven Picou from the University of South
Alabama who has been listening to the human stories of those
hardest hit in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill:
fisherman and charter boat captains and business owners. Picou
first developed what he calls "peer listening training" after the
Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska, only to see a similar fate befall
his own Gulf Coast home. And Alex Chadwick will tell the story of a
very rich oil field that lay overlooked for decades in central
Utah, and was then essentially given away by Chevron. It has
produced about a billion dollars of high-grade oil since its
discovery eight years ago.
