No skimmers available?

Here's the biggest one in the world still tied up at Hampton Roads, VA. It can process 500,000 barrels a day and is still waiting for the EPA and Coast Guard red tape to unravel and permits to join in. Nobody seems to have any idea when it will be allowed to head to the Gulf - or even if it will be allowed to do so.

Our country is probably too broke to pay for that huge oil skimmer but shouldn’t the money from BP go towards that FIRST!
