Good new for all the experts in this newgroup who know more about the oil
disaster and clean up than BP and the US Coast Guard. There is now a Xprize
available.

I can hardly wait to read about how some newgroup geek saved the Gulf Coast.

Yesterday on tv news, I saw/heard some people are using wet/dry vacuum
cleaners (bought at Lowe's or wherever stores) to help clean up oil on
the water.

Not only are they killing the Gulf of Mexico and Marine Wildlife and
making people sick, it seems they are killing the crops, trees, and who
knows what else too!

I live 140 miles North of the Gulf of Mexico, Hurricane Katrina ripped
ten shingles off of the roof of my house and blew three trees down
across my street.
Sheesh, what is next?

You and any number of fools can agree with any nonsense you want to
but your agreeing doesn't make any of it true. The statement that "the
US government is refusing to allow ANY oil recovery AT ALL except by
actually removing the water from the Gulf and placing it in an on-shore
storage facility." is simply not true.
