Okay. Let's say BP's top kill or junk shot works this weekend and the well stops spewing oil. What happens to the existing oil in the water? Is it dispersed over time.......or will it settle to the bottom? What a frigging mess!

New Loan Guarantees for Nuclear and Renewable Energy

5/21/2010 10:45 AM EDT

The White House is expected to soon announce a multibillion-dollar package of new loan guarantees for nuclear and renewable energy projects to be supported by adding $180 million to a pending war funding bill.

The proposal follows talks Wednesday between Energy Secy. Steven Chu, White House officials and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Cal.), who used her leverage to ensure solar would share in the funding together with the nuclear industry.

The administration has already proposed a greatly expanded loan guarantee program for nuclear as part of its 2011 budget. But Chu would like to advance a quarter of the planned increase into 2010 to make $9 billion more immediately available.
