Wow...someone on FR understands. Thanks. I have been run off threads because I believe the same. Many people here don’t believe it. Just wait.
All the dispersants did was sink the oil.
There is not much oil to clean up now. The reason they cannot find it is because the dispersants sank the oil. BP will now be able to say, “What oil?” Those 30 mile plumes of oil don’t exist to them.
When crews spotted oil on the surface, they would radio in and a boat would head that way to skim the oil. Before the boat would ever arrive, a plane would arrive and spray the surface with dispersants. The oil would be gone before the boats ever arrived. It became like one big joke to them.
I believe that, in time, we’ll all realize that we would have been better off not using the dispersants.
I live along the coast. I know people involved with EPA’s testing of dispersants. I also know a few very well respected marine biologists here along the coast. I’ll take their word vs. some of these posters on the Internet that I know nothing about.
A lot of folks are eco-idiots. They just don’t get it and they never will.
Everything about this situation makes me very mad.
“Everything about this situation makes me very mad.”
I’m in the northeast, but have been following this closely. I know all about Corexit, who owns the most stock in Nalco, the manufacturer of Corexit....the dangers of Corexit, etc.
Makes me mad, too.
