Am I overlooking something?
Maybe I am just plain dumb….. and I do not understand how “it all works”…..
But I am looking at the situation in the Mexican Gulf….. and I keep wondering…. (already for weeks);
why is nothing happening overthere..??
Mr.Obama had an angry speech in which he says that the “who is responsible”-fight should stop and BP (or who ever) should work on a solution….
I have been watching some tv programs in Holland – in which some companies are explaining what they could have done…..
Nope; nobody has a solution…. but some where mentioning huge “vacuum cleaners”….. they have some “side skirts” for ships – which can take the oil out of the water and put it in another ship.
A very safe and good solution – which would really get most of the oil out of the water….
My point….??
I really do not get why the USA Government didn’t get all those vacuumcleaners together in the Mexican Gulf and start cleaning it that way..?? Just there – where the leak is…. !
Why are they “just’” wating for a solution of BP…?
If I was the President of the USA…. after one week of disaster, there would have been hundreds of those cleaning ships…….
But maybe the problem is; if I was the President of the USA – my wallet would be empty…… and I would not be able to garantuee payment for the cleaning job…?
I really have no idea…. but if I look at that area…. it makes me SAD!!
[...] Just wanted to give a little update on the post I did about the “vacuum cleaners” we have in Holland…. (previous post; Am I overlooking something) [...]
I guess the US government was waiting for BP to start clearing up the mess that they caused, because BP should have had some sort of statgeic plan in place to deal with disasters like this. They make multi billions of dollars of profit every year and they haven’t got a clue how to fix the mess they have caused.
A country which is already ruined by all the big companies – is again waiting for a company to clean up the mess….?
btw – did you see this..??
