Washington Post : The still-unplugged oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has yet to affect Americans’ energy-use habits, at least as far as pollsters can tell. David Fahrenthold and Juliet Eilperin of the Washington Post report on what might be behind that disconnect, which is in contrast to the reactions that followed earlier environmental disasters, such as the Santa Barbara oil spill of 1969 and the ignition that same year of the Cuyahoga river in Cleveland.
