Yep...probably.
Because Obama is the one we have been waiting for.............
MRSC has more than enough oil skimmers here in the US. They’re just tied up in red tape.
MRSC.org
Reconsider.. Humph!
Hell yes, send them yesterday.
Because B. Hussein Obama refused to override even temporarily the Jones Act because the maritime workers’ union would not like him doing so, no matter how much harm to coastal waters and wildlife and commercial fisheries could thereby have been avoided.
I understand the skimming process doesn’t remove 100% of the oil residue.
There is an environmental reg that states that any process has to be 100%.
That’s what I read anyway.
When 9/11 happened, liberals and the media made fun of George Bush for sitting for seven minutes during the reading of The Pet Goat.
Meanwhile, Barack Obama has sat for 55 days, letting those skimmers remain in port.
IS this old news just hitting that source or is this new news and that idiot in charge STILL hasn’t closed the deal? PLUG THE HOLE!!!
Also there’s the cost of building ships in the United States. Eventually we will move over into a “construction battalion robotic” system and that work will all return to the US because we’ll be the lowest cost producer.
From a comment about the LA Slimes article on obama’s speech;
“Don’t get me wrong, I voted for Barack Obama and never for a moment regretted doing so. Let’s face some serious facts here: We can all sleep a little easier tonight knowing that John McCain is not running things and that Fascist Barbie is not a heartbeat away from the presidency. “
You are spot on.
Which was suspended in 15 minutes by President Bush after Katrina hit New Orleans.
Obama is absolutely ignorant.>>>>>>>>>
Kenyan communists hate real world useful science like this. They love Utopian science and Utopian scams like global warming and cap n tax.
The following is quoted directly from the source article.
Using the Dutch skimmers should have prevented most of the oil from ever getting even close to shore. The Dutch skimmers work best close to the source of the spill where the oil is more concentrated. Outside of that circle, dispersants could be used. Additional smaller skimmers could be used closer to shore to pick up patches that might get through the first 2 rings. The less oil that reaches shore, the less there is to clean up. The less oil that reaches shore, the faster the environment will restored by natural cleaning processes.
Hey I like Fascist Barbie. But given this BP mess, it was divine intervention she -and what’s his name- were not in the White House when it happened.
“Fascist Barbie” has more experience with oil and oil companies in her cute lil’ baby toe, than obama and all his cabinet and advisors lumped together into a smelly heap!
Yes she does. While I’m willing to bet she’s better equipped to deal with this kind of a mess, I’m glad she doesn’t have to.
On the other hand, it might not have happened. She has a history of smacking the Oil companies around pretty good. It’s completely possible there would have been adequate safeguards in place had she and Crash McCain been at the wheel.
wonder who will manage the 20 billion from bp..
