If you read one page on BP and the spill in the gulf this year, Joe Nocera’s April 14, 2012 column in the New York Times – How to Prevent Oil Spills– is a great choice. It describes how government’s unwillingness to impose tough punishments, like prison terms, on employees of the oil giant encouraged the recklessness at BP that led to a series of deadly accidents and environmental disasters. If you read more than one page, consider Abrahm Lustgarten’s terrific book, Run to Failure: BP and the Making of the Deepwater Horizon Disaster, which documents with biting depth the decades-long domino roll of ignored safety procedures, mishandling of toxic chemicals, and fatal accidents that led, inevitably, to the disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.

More ink on oil in the New York Times this weekend, this time from author and investigative Abrahm Lustgarten himself, who wrote an excellent commentary, A Stain That Won’t Wash Away. I’m well into Lustgarten’s book, Run to Failure, which I picked up in honor of the anniversary of the spill in the Gulf.
