A rig drilling an oil well for QEP Resources Inc., is shown on ranchland a few miles west of Cheyenne, Wyo., Thursday Sept. 30, 2010. More oil rigs are popping up around Cheyenne and some new wells 50 miles north of town might already be producing oil from the Niobrara Shale. The Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission has issued permits for more than 50 oil wells in northern Laramie County and southern Goshen and Platte counties so far this year. Dozens of those wells are now marked "confidential" on the production information page on the commission website. (AP Photo/Mead Gruver) (Mead Gruver)

The Plastiki, a boat made out of 12,500 recycled plastic bottles, sails on Sydney Harbour Monday, July 26, 2010, four months after it set out from San Francisco on a journey across the Pacific Ocean meant to raise awareness about the perils of plastic waste. The 60-foot (18.2 meter) catamaran that weathered fierce ocean storms during its 8,000 nautical miles at sea, left San Francisco on March 20, stopping along the way at various South Pacific island nations including Kiribati and Samoa.

In this photo released by Greenpeace, a firefighter who was submerged in thick oil during an attempt to fix an underwater pump is brought ashore by his colleagues in Dalian, China on Tuesday, July 20, 2010. Crude oil started pouring into the Yellow Sea off a busy northeastern port after a pipeline exploded late last week, sparking a massive 15-hour fire. The government says the slick has spread across a 70-square-mile (180-square-kilometer) stretch of ocean. (AP Photo/Jiang He, Greenpeace) ** NO SALES NO ARCHIVE ** (AP)
