I looked into moving some oil cleanup equipment down there a couple times . We have a crew that trains year round for water/oil spill clean up disasters and have been proved to clean up 100K+ gallons per day. Instead of sending trained crews and equipment there that actually know what they are doing, the people in charge are taking untrained volunteer tree huggers that dont know wtf they are doing.
I know alot of people in other bigger environmental companys that have been sent down to the area and have been sent back because of the overabundance of volunteers. The politics involved with every thing is out of control. My buddy who did actually go down to do clean up that works with another company isnt allowed on some of the clean up boats because the converted shrimp boat people wont allow clean up crews with them. He is delivering water and food instead to untrained volunteers doing things uncorrectly.
I do not care.
i knew there had to be soemthig like this goign on!! What the hell is wrong with these people?? the Govt should pay whatever it costs even if its billions and then make BP pay for it all…
