BP Deepwater disaster

Colette Pichon Battle gave up a great job working as a corporate immigration lawyer in Washington DC to live in a tent in front of her flooded family home 50 miles from downtown New Orleans.  She is now a much honored director of a small but powerful non-profit climate justice human rights firm advocating all along the Gulf Coast.  Why the big change in her life?  Katrina, climate justice and fish dinners.

We are fossil fools. In fact, fossil fuel companies have been playing us for fools for so long that we barely notice their power, their control, and the destructive consequences these monolithic companies have over us; that is, until directly affected. Subtle exploitation is all around, but special harm has come through deepwater drilling off our coast or penetration of our shale with the ravages of fracking.
