“According to the Environmental Protection Agency about 1.08 million gallons of dispersant have been deployed in the Gulf, with 779,000 gallons used on the surface and 303,000 gallons used under the water.”
Which was ‘coincidently’, the amount of Corexist that NALCO had sitting in warehouses unused because it was outlawed in most other countries. NALCO was due to lose a bunch of money if they couldn’t sell it and had to pay to get rid of it.
Obama wouldn’t let the Dutch ships SKIM the oil off the top (and they offered to do it for FREE), because they would leave 1% of the oil in the processed water. EPA determined that was much more dangerous than leaving ALL the oil in the water and adding dangerous and expensive dispersant to it.
They couldn’t waive the JONES ACT to allow other nations to help us. BUT, they could waive the MMS rules to allow the spill to occur in the first place, and then waived the Environmental Impact Rules to allow the Corexit to be used in never before attempted LARGE QUANTITIES.
We have always fought against ORGANIZED CRIME SYNDICATES in our nation, but now our GOVERNMENT is an ORGANIZED CRIME SYNDICATE.
It’s a racket.
