Excerpts from the article:
“What we’re trying to figure out is where is all the oil at and what can we do about it.”
The figures speak for themselves. Before the cap went on, some 25,000 barrels of oil a day were being skimmed from the thickest part of the slick near the well site.
By the time tropical storm Bonnie arrived last week, the take was down to a pitiful 56 barrels, begging the question of what to do with the fleet of 800 skimmers, many of them run by disgruntled fishermen.
Allen said he was already looking at trying to redeploy the so-called Vessels of Opportunity in surveillance and testing programs and was meeting local leaders on Thursday to discuss options.
As to where all the oil that hasn’t been skimmed or burned off has gone, opinions vary: some experts say it has been broken down naturally by the elements and by microbes in the ocean, others fear it could be lingering undetected in underwater plumes.
Only weeks ago, the slick was an unstoppable force that couldn’t be prevented from swamping shorelines and slowly choking helpless pelicans, now the oil is an elusive enemy, one that has to be tracked down.”
Comment: Seems we’re now having a hard time finding the evil oil over vast tracts of the Gulf of Mexico, where the ocean itself and microbes in the ocean break down the oil patches naturally (read full article for explanation of this natural-cleaning process by the ocean). The REAL disaster is that the eco-radicals, the left media, and the liberal-socialist Obama administration used this alleged “disaster” as an excuse to put a Moratorium on all drilling in the Gulf, and Obama created yet another monstrous regulatory agency to now “regulate” the oil companies and the whole coastal region in the Gulf of Mexico. As Rom Emanuel said for the Obama administration, never waste a good “crisis”, meaning never waste an alleged crisis or government-created crisis to justify creating yet another government power-grabbing agency and regulations to strangle the free-market. The “disaster” of this oil spill is that radical-left Obama and his socialist cronies in Congress have used this “crisis” to now strangle oil production in the Gulf of Mexico, and push their psychotic eco-global-warming agenda and strangling cap-and-trade legislation on the American people.
Solution: Vote EVERY Democrat and moderate Republican in Congress out of office come November. Vote ONLY for true conservative Republicans or Libertarian candidates. Your freedom and the future of this blessed country are at stake.
