Oil Industry Nemesis New Orleans Attorney Stuart H. Smith Provides Hard-Hitting Behind-the-Scenes Commentary at www.oilspillaction.com
NEW ORLEANS, LA –– New blogger Stuart H. Smith, a New
Orleans-based attorney representing Gulf Coast fishermen, the Louisiana
Environmental Action Network and an array of major commercial
interests, announced the launch of his backroom,
no-punches-pulled blog focused exclusively on the spill (www.oilspillaction.com).
Smith, a much-loathed legal heavy-weight in the world of Big Oil, is
well known for his role as lead counsel in an oilfield radiation case
that delivered a verdict of more than $1 billion against ExxonMobil.
“As
a New Orleans native, an environmentalist and an attorney who has seen
some really ugly stuff, this disaster makes me sick to my stomach,
physically ill,” says Smith, who lives in the French Quarter and has
law offices on nearby Canal Street. “My new blog gives me a forum where
I can cut loose a little, and give people a look at what’s happening
behind the scenes, behind the rhetoric and the B.S.”
Awash
in fresh daily and hourly content, “The Stuart H. Smith Blog,” covers
all things “oil spill” –– all the time. Commentary ranges from insight
on complex legal issues to just how hard it is to “keep a civil tongue”
when appearing on national TV with a lying oil executive. Smith
developed the newly minted blog, with tagline “The Real Story From the
Front Lines of the BP Oil Spill,” as a go-to resource and safe e-haven
for concerned citizens, members of the media and victims looking for
answers. This is commentary from one of the brightest legal minds and
one of the most impassioned players in this process of making the Gulf
Coast whole again.
Blog main features include:
(1) a 24/7 ticker running the most informative headlines from across
the media spectrum; (2) hard-hitting daily commentary on the most
important and most controversial issues –– legal, political,
environmental –– surrounding the spill; (3) “Guest Expert Blog Posts”
from highly regarded toxicologists, physicians, petroleum engineers and
environmentalists; (4) a twice-weekly updated feature, “The Oil
Disaster By the Numbers,” jammed with the very latest statistics on the
spill from oil-flow estimates to total size of spill to impacted
coastline to cleanup costs to damages paid; and (5) informative videos,
photos, maps and more.
