It's time to commence 'OPERATION VACU-SUCK!'

VACUUM AND SUCK THE OIL OUT OF THE GULF NOW!!!
In 1993, a massive 800 million gallon oil spill happened in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Aramco successfully cleaned up that spill. The lead engineer that cleaned that spill was an American engineer who worked for Aramco. His name is Nick Pozzi and is based currently based in Houston. Apparently Pozzi offered his solution to BP and Coast Guard and they promptly dismissed his solution. Was it too expensive?
It's a lot simpler to understand than the top kill. It simply requires oil tankers equipped with giant vacuums (think a massive wet/dry shop vac) to suck the oil and water into oil tankers. Using a centrifuge, the tankers have the capability to separate the oil and water. The water is filtered and sent back to the ocean. The oil is recovered and processed as usual.
The method has been validated by John Hofmeister, former CEO of Shell Oil. So why are we not trying it? Nobody seems to know.
In the Saudi disaster, Pozzi claimed 85% of the oil was recovered and was still usable.
Last night, President Obama was in my home town and I was listening to him. He said, "...We're trying everything."
Categorically not true, Mr. President.
Now I know that the White House aka the Executive Office of the President reads my blog. I know for a fact that someone in the White House is reading this blog. OK, how about trying commandeering tankers and vacuum the oil out.
WHAT THE PRESIDENT HAS NOT DONE
Oil has now hit Louisiana. It is no longer an abstract concept. Birds, marine life and wild life are dying. Livelihoods are being destroyed today and more are threatened.
1) Use the US Navy and the rest of the military to nationalize or commandeer oil tankers within our territorial waters. There are several oil tankers in US watersTODAY but they are mostly full because they are being used as holding tanks by the oil companies to hold oil till the prices go up.
2) Empty all the tankers we can find into the national oil reserve as soon as humanly possible.
3) Equip the tankers if they do not have the vacuums with the necessary suction equipment. My understanding though is most oil tankers have the vacuum capability.
4) Use Defense Department, NASA and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's precise satellite capabilities to guide the tankers into strategic zones that could prevent crude from hitting shores.
5) Deploy all the tankers we can find to vacuum out the sea water and oil out.
Mr. President... you said you tried everything. No you have not. You said you will spare no expense.
Well?
Secondly, he "mis-spoke" when he said this never happened before, look up the Ixtoc Well disaster in 1979 in the Gulf of Mexico. Very similar to the current spill and it is obvious that people did not learn Jack Spit about how to solve it, since it was the same drilling company. BP gets two smacks for being stupid. Ixtoc was finally solved by drilling a relief well after 3 million barrels were spilled. That should make you feel great.
Obama just wants the issue. He could care less about the damage the oil does.
Hilarious and completely accurate. Obowmao was spinning so fast he couldn't keep up with his own lies and distortions.
Paper towels? Kitty litter? Tampons? Wet dry vacs? Michelle’s booby belts?
I mean, seriously, the oil travels no less than one mile through water before it can possibly reach the surface, and more likely, travels much further than that before reaching the surface.
The vacuum idea is great, for another disaster.
It's time to commence 'OPERATION VACU-SUCK!'
so are we seeing a deliberate scenario to prolong damage to theHomeland by treasonous WH?
You can't let a good crisis go to waste you know.
The Commies in the White House HAVE been praying to their false God for the Oil to hit shore. It makes a much better Photo Op that they can use to punish the Oil Industry and take over more of the Economy.
You can’t let a good crisis go to waste you know.
Oops...
So it’s a Pozzi scheme? I think Tim Geithner is in charge of those.
lol...let’s not get logical
Plenty on the surface, many times plenty below the surface.
This isn’t your father’s oil spill.
He wanted the well saved. It is now apparent that that option is off the table.
One word (or is it?):
Shamwow.
Oh God, I love ShamWOW! and their cheesy commercials and spokesman.
That guy made a pile of money from Shamwow, it hasn’t been to Vietnam, but it’s made in Germany and everyone knows the Germans make great stuff.
He’s making another pile from SlapChop.
Obummer sucks.
While blame is being tossed about, check out this link. In additon to the big three, BP, Transocean, Halliburton, it also seems a supplier fell down on the job failing to deliver stuff that Halliburton needed for safe cement work. This, however, apparently did not stop H from attempting to do their part of the job anyway.
New greeting used at the White House: “How’s that oil flowing for ya?”
