There are giant oil balls floating in the Gulf. Why are we not pumping the oil into supertankers? We have water pumping tugs. Dump a hose into the middle of these oil bubbles and pump it out of the ocean. Several tugs could pump the oil out of the bubbles faster than it is being excreted.
This is not rocket science. I am getting angry. I want to see ships pumping this oil now. Since this incompetence has gone on too long, I will use that incompetence against every incompetent person involved. From BP to the Dept of Interior.
The reason bp used dispersant was to halt salvage rights.
A supertanker can be filled in 8 hours. There are at least 4.3 millions of barrels of oil floating in the gulf. That oil is free, go get it kids. Even fishing ships can hold oil. The ship will need to be cleaned later but for small families to get 1000 barrels of oil, that is $80,000. That is decent money in these times.
The Navy and Coast Guard should protect the salvage of the oil. This is necessary to prevent greedy people from shooting at each other. Require that salvage ships identify themselves to the government.
