Editorial

> “Beyond managing the current crisis, it is essential that the Senate pass a comprehensive energy law that steers the country in a cleaner, safer direction.”

*The Economist* – [“The blame game: The president can’t stop oil from gushing in the gulf. But he can improve America’s energy policies”](http://www.economist.com/node/16274343 "http://www.economist.com/node/16274343")

Editorial

> “The catastrophe… has provided a chance to talk about deeper problems in energy policy: to spell out to Americans the true cost of the petrol they guzzle (including all the subsidies and distortions of trade) and to push for alternatives, facilitated by a price on carbon.”
