Senator Nelson says the U.S. Navy has more than 2 dozens oil skimming ships that are able to be deployed to the Gulf of Mexico immediately, but they are just sitting idle instead.
We’d like to add two points:
- The plan needs to stop the oil leak! Not enough effort to cap this well has been expended. After all we can’t clean up something that’s still leaking.
- We need far more than the skimmers he’s speaking off. We need thousands. BP is currently paying some out of work charter boats to convert to skimmers and clean up in the immediate area around the well. We’d like to see this program expanded.
What are your thoughts?
