BP refuses to stop using Toxic Dispersant

OH, IT IS TIME FOR SOMETHING TO BURN AND I DON'T MEAN OIL.

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE FROM THE GOVERNORS OF THE GULF STATES???

WHY AREN'T THEY LITERALLY UP IN ARMS AND SEETHING WITH RAGING REVENGE?????

ARE WE ALL SO STUPID....SO LAME,,,,,,SO AFRAID TO TAKE ACTION???????

HAVE WE ALL BEEN SO ANESTHETIZED WITH DRUGS AND CHEMICALS IN THE FOOD, WATER AND AIR THAT WE ARE TOTALLY INCAPABLE OF A RESPONSE???????

THEN WE ALL DESERVE TO DIE AND GET JUST WHAT WE ALLOW.

WHY HAVEN'T THE GOVERNORS OF THE GULF STATES SENT IN STATE TROOPS........A CIVILIAN CALL UP/CALL TO ARMS SO TO SPEAK AND JUST TELL THE BP, THE .GOV AND ANYBODY ELSE TO GET THE HELL OUT OF THEIR WAY AND JUST TAKE OVER????????

DAM THEM ALL TO HELL FOREVER FOR PLAYING POLITICS WHILE WE WATCH BEFORE OUR VERY EYES THE TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF THE GULF INTO A DEAD ZONE.

I wonder how BP would like it if there gas station parking lots became covered in oil...

Massive amounts..

TURNED INTO A DEAD ZONE WHILE EVERYBODY JUST WATCHES AND DOES NOTHING.....LIKE THEY ARE JUST WATCHING SOME REALITY SHOW ON TV.....AND THEN DO NOTHING.

GET UP OFF YOUR FAT SCARED ASSES YOU PEOPLE WHO CAN DO SOMETHING, ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE TO DO SOMETHING, HAVE THE SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE AND INTEL TO DO SOMETHING AND FOR GOD'S SAKE.......GET OUT THERE AND DO IT........

BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T.......

THIS BLOOD CARNAGE/SACRIFICE WILL BE ON YOUR HEADS FOREVER.

Wait til the sheep start to panic, in the gulf.

First inflation then deflation. Inflate the things people MUST buy. Deflate the things that aren't a necessity. No money to help circulate the economy and keep it on life support (soon to follow).


>>> I should say that the things which the average consumer doesn't have the money to purchase will likely deflate and many will go out of businness for lack of revenue. Which equals even more loss of jobs and a continued spiral down....

So it will be a inflation/deflation scenario at the same time. (but I got off on a tangent). Carry on.

ALL with the African's evil blessing..
that Godless Son of a Bitch..

Leave your asinine pontificating in Canada please. The sheeple are those defending pawn Obama. Most thinking Americans have come to the right conclusion that it makes not a whit of difference whether a Demo or a Repub is in office, they are both controlled by the same forces. Obama deserves every bit of bashing he's getting and more - to give any attention or merit to an analysis based on political ramifications for any of the wretches involved just gives the wretches room for evasion of responsibility.

Obama's lack of responsible action in the face of obvious criminal activity on the part of BP, i.e., at the very least involuntary manslaughter of the 11 oil workers, gross negligence resulting in irreperable harm to a good portion of the U.S., coastline, econonmy etc....should, if he doesn't step up, place him in the same leagal jeopardy as his apparent partners, BP.

I can't wait while this oil slick wipes that smug smile off Zakaria's face.

He is pushing yet another pro-Obama book.

Does he pay him or are they simply having some kind of an affair.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

That's what I'd like to know.

And americans are cowards

because their fluoridated miseducated carnally and culinarily
satiated over-entertained intoxicated medicated PUSSIES ! !

Umm.. I didnt read every page of every Oil Spill thread out there.. but has anyone realized wtf happens when the shit enters the Mississipi?!

This is a Horror,The Horror,Utter evil,The sickness will soon spread.The Population of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.Once the greatest country on Earth,Now a large group of cowards and misfits.Obese tards.Your entire country has been destroyed.And yet you sit and complain.What a pitiful group you are.

We have one going on right now.. 0bama and his bed partners BP heading it up..
So when all life in and around the gulf are dead, I'm sure some other part of the country will be attacked..

Wow.. I'm an idiot. Just ignore me. /ignore

:)

My bad.

telling isn't it

And the gutless attorneys should hand out all there assets to American people.But That will never happen.

Federal agencies must be vigilant on oil spill: An editorial
By Editorial page staff, The Times-Picayune
May 23, 2010, 7:00AM

The Environmental Protection Agency's order for BP to use less toxic dispersants to help clean up the Gulf of Mexico's oil spill is a welcome move. The same goes for the joint demand by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson that BP immediately reveal its plans, reports and video about the spill to the government and the public.


But as forceful as these actions may be, federal officials are essentially playing catch up. Federal agencies were grossly unprepared for a disaster of this magnitude, as was BP, and the Gulf Coast is paying the price


------
The company Thursday finally had to admit its 5,000-barrel-a-day figure was wrong. BP spokesmen Mark Proegler and Steve Rinehart told The Associated Press that a mile-long tube inserted into a break in the rig's piping was siphoning that much oil from just one of the leak sites. Under congressional pressure, BP released a live video feed of that site Thursday, which showed oil still gushing out of the broken pipe.

Yet BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Shuttles said Friday that the company never claimed the mile-long tube was collecting 5,000 barrels a day. "I'm sorry if you heard it that way," Mr. Shuttles said.
BP's statements are baffling, and it's no wonder the public has lost trust in the company.

Maybe it's because they produce it ?

I find absurd the US is so submissive to a foreign corporation... even tough the damages are primarly concerning their coasts for now.

Are we seeing the real power of these corporations in plain light?

BP need to pay for it and boycott all their prodicts is the only way to make them pay it seems.

A sheeple is ANYONE who is caught up in the political tug o war. If you consider yourself a conservative or a liberal YOU are the problem period!

It's NOT Obummers fault, it's our own fault for allowing ourselves to be placated by propoganda.

unless they know we have been taken over.. or they know 0bama is a worthless piece of African dung.. and it's useless..
It's unbelievable..if this is not proof this African is not fit to lead a chicken house, and it's too late for the country.. You people placed in power the devil's son himself..

well said

BP REFUSES EPA order to use less toxic dispersement- update: They don't wanna give out trade secrets! FUCKERS!



[link to www.latimes.com]

BP has rebuffed demands from government officials and environmentalists to use a less-toxic dispersant to break up the oil from its massive offshore spill, saying that the chemical product it is now using continues to be "the best option for subsea application."

On Thursday, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency gave the London-based company 72 hours to replace the dispersant Corexit 9500 or to describe in detail why other dispersants fail to meet environmental standards.

The agency on Saturday released a 12-page document from BP, representing only a portion of the company's full response. Along with several dispersant manufacturers, BP claimed that releasing its full evaluation of alternatives would violate its legal right to keep confidential business information private.

But in a strongly worded retort, the EPA said that it was "evaluating all legal options" to force BP to release the remaining information "so Americans can get a full picture of the potential environmental impact of these alternative dispersants."

So far, 715,000 gallons of dispersant has been applied since the April 20 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rig, mostly on the spill's surface. The chemical has also been released near the leaking pipe on the seafloor.

Government officials have justified both uses, saying that if oil reaches the shore, it would do more environmental harm than if it were dispersed off the coast.

Dispersants break oil into droplets that decompose more quickly. But scientists worry that extensive use of the chemicals in the BP spill is increasing marine life's exposure to the toxins in oil.

"While the dispersant BP has been using is on the agency's approved list, BP is using this dispersant in unprecedented volumes and, last week, began using it underwater at the source of the leak — a procedure that has never been tried before," the EPA noted last week, acknowledging that "much is unknown about the underwater use of dispersants."

In the company's May 20 letter to the EPA and the Coast Guard, responding to the EPA's directive, BP operations chief Doug Suttles wrote that only five products on the EPA's approved list meet the agency's toxicity criteria. And only one, besides Corexit, is available in sufficient quantities in the next 10 to 14 days, it said.

But that alternative product, Sea Brat #4, according to BP, contains a chemical that could degrade into an endocrine disruptor, a substance that creates hormonal changes in living creatures, and could persist in the environment for years.

As the tensions over how to treat the spill escalated, reddish-brown washes of oil, 2 inches thick in places, soiled Louisiana beaches. Hundreds of workers scooped up gooey piles of sand and stuffed them into plastic bags.

"It is worse today than on the past two days," said Darren Smith, 43, sweating from his work raking sand at a wildlife refuge on Elmer's Island. "There's definitely more oil, and it's just going to keep coming."

No booms protected the Elmer's Island beach because the National Guard had focused on building dams to divert oil from the wetlands behind the beach.

A few miles away at Port Fourchon, plastic barriers that looked like pompoms were strung together along the beach but did a poor job of keeping out the oil. More than 50 miles of Louisiana shoreline has been contaminated so far.
