Unless my "search" button is broken, I can't find any threads about this oil spill.
Aren't there some Loungers here from the Gulf Coast area, besides myself?
This thing is going to be bad. Really bad.
I grew up in Pensacola, FL and have spent my whole life on these beaches. Pensacola, Gulf Shores, Navarre, Destin ... they are beautiful. And they have already suffered so much devastation over the years from hurricanes and now they have to endure THIS?
If this goes on long enough and the oil makes it's way into the Florida Keys, that will be the end of the natural coral reef habitat. What about the dolphins and fish and turtles and birds?
Environmental disaster aside, I can't even imagine what the economic impact is going to be.

But most of those aren't a million dollar machine that was backed by a dingbat from Hollywood.
Anyone watch the speech Costner made? He read from a piece of paper and was terrible at that. He chopped up his sentenced so badly you'd have thought he couldn't read someone's handwriting on the paper
The way he was talking wouldn't make me want to buy his product. Poor salesman.
The only good thing to come out of this will be the knowledge of what does and doesn't work in case this ever happens again.
So does everyone else, only problem is no one knows what to do when it occurs in 5000 feet of water because no one has ever been in this predicament yet.

My heart is aching watching the videos of all the dead sealife, and birds. It infuriates me that BP has attempted to block anyone from seeing this and photographing it.
But thanks for failing.
His machines DO work. Perhaps not at 5,000 feet. Duh! They are not meant to be submersed in water.
BP has already placed several orders for these machines and Costner said that 5 of the ones that he owns are currently in place somewhere along the LA coastline, doing their job. Good for him! At least he cares enough to do SOMETHING. And he put up 25 million of his own money to start the process.
If BP is "doing their best", then their best isn't good enough!
They are however, doing their best to hide every ounce of information from the public that they possibly can. Transparency, my ass!!!!!!

Yeah, he was way more believable yesterday when he testified than he was as Wyatt Earp.
The Daily Mail is a very right leaning publication:
America's ALWAYS tried to do down Britain

When disaster strikes, the U.S. will NEVER take the blame

Predators circle BP, the stricken British giant

And that company probably hasn't made a dime since he invested in it and now he sees his opportunity....
