Outrage!!! Oil Boom Manufacturer: We Notified Government 4 WEEKS AGO That We Have Product (Video)

Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, June 11, 2010, 8:34 AM
Two weeks ago Governor Bobby Jindal (R-LA) requested more oil boom to save the Louisiana marshes.

At least 125 miles of Louisiana coastline has been ruined by the BP oil spill. Tar blobs began washing up on Florida’s white sand beaches near Pensacola last week. And, crude oil has also been reported along barrier islands in Alabama and Mississippi.

Oil boom manufacture Packgen has miles of floating oil containment boom in warehouse right now and they say they can make lots more on short notice. Packgen owner John Lapoint said his company is ramping up production to make 90,000 feet of oil boom per day.

But, there’s a hitch. The company notified the government 4 WEEKS AGO that they have oil boom but they they won’t buy it. BP sent representatives 4 weeks ago to check out the manufacturer and they are going to send representatives again this week. The boom is sitting in a warehouse as the coastline is destroyed.

They first alerted the government 4 WEEKS AGO. They can produce more boom than anyone in the US and abroad.

“Fox and Friends” Interviews John Lapoint, the owner of Packgen, about the continuing efforts of Packgen to get the oil containment boom that is so desperately needed to the people of the Gulf Coast.

This is an outrage.

It didn’t have to be this way.
