On May 23 Bp purchased 3 of the Dutch skimmer's and those are in operation. Bp has ordered six more for immediate delivery and the Dutch company is in the process of fabricating those skimmers. Norway has sent skimmers also.

The country with just about the shortest coastline in the world advising a country with one of the 5 longest. I have my doubts 60 miles would have made a difference. Nor do we know the actual reason *why* their plan was rejected, I would guess that BP retains control of the cleanup and the governments own regulations can't change that. The fact remains however that there just wasn't enough time to fix it in any large scale manner. I can't see the Dutch equipment cleaning the entire gulf of oil either BTW. I really pity the gulf coast. I've only been there once, but throughly enjoyed Clearwater. -- (setq (chuck nil) car(chuck) ) |
