Beyond Petroleum: Lessons from the Gulf of Mexico
Guests
Bob Graham
Former Co-Chair, National Oil Spill Commission
William K. Reilly
Former U.S. EPA Administrator
Summary
More than a year after oil stopped gushing into the Gulf, the co-chairs of the commission tasked with investigating the Deepwater Horizon oil spill appear together in this Climate One panel to assess the nation’s response to the disaster. Bill Reilly and Bob Graham commend the Obama administration for overhauling regulation of the offshore oil industry, and praise the oil industry for initiating internal reforms, but they blast Congress for doing next to nothing to respond to the spill.
