Via Wikipedia<\/figcaption><\/figure>As we approach the first anniversary of the Deep Horizon oil spill disaster, which took place on April 20th, 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico, the world remembers one of the worst disasters caused by oil drilling.
\n
\nThe tragedy sent out a stark warning about the need to search and develop renewable energy <\/a>to power our homes, industries and transportation network.<\/p>\n

The USA Today writes <\/a>that much of the damage caused by the spill is invisible to the eye, therefore impossible to measure. <\/p>\n

The Houston Chronicle presents a balance of what has changed, and what hasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t<\/a>, in terms of regulation in the wake of the spill.<\/p>\n

Gulf Coast residents are the least happy about the way things have unravelled since the disaster and complain they were \u00e2\u20ac\u0153treated like criminals<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. <\/p>\n

Probably there is no better group than water-loving surfers to express grief over the devastation in the Gulf. Nearly 50 surfers with the Surfrider foundation came out to St.Petersburg to remember the anniversary<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not forget the marine animals affected by the spill; images of dolphins fenced in by the spill and birds covered in oil travelled the world through news outlets. In order to gauge how much dolphins have been affected by the spill, a researcher who has studied dolphins locally for 40 years is applying his expertise to find out whether there are long-term adverse effects from the Deepwater Horizon oil disaster, writes Bradenton<\/a>. <\/p>\n
