On the one year anniversary of the BP oil spill and a few days before Earth Day 2011, AEI presents scholar work on environmental issues.

In his meetings today with President Barack Obama, British prime minister David Cameron must condemn Lockerbie bomber al-Megrahi's release, agree to meet families of the Pan Am 103 victims, and promise full cooperation with the Senate investigation.

In the aftermath of the Gulf oil spill, the best way to ensure that resources will be available for environmental restoration and economic revitalization work far in the future would be keeping BP viable under its current ownership.

Is BP's new branding strategy solely clever propaganda?

In a recent letter, Martin Lobel describes as "intellectually bankrupt" our arguments against S. 940 and S. 2204, two recent bills that would have imposed unfavorable tax rules on five large oil companies that would not have applied to other taxpayers.

President Obama made BP's problem worse, and in so doing has worsened the problems facing not only the administration but also the unfortunate residents of the Gulf of Mexico.

BP and the Minerals Management Service share responsibility for the Gulf oil spill, and while BP should ultimately pay for the damages, action must also be taken by the U.S. government to reform the leasing process for offshore areas.

Just a year after the BP oil spill, America is on the verge of a new golden era of oil exploration and production -- unless President Obama and his environmentalist friends get their way.
