I presented a link you lame brained nitwit.
Prove it wrong then I'll post a link to all 500 stories on google.
First of all, as I posted earlier, the author, whom you consider to be an authority, is a professor of economics who summers on the Gulf. Now how does any of that make him an authority on oil rigs, oil spills and skimmers? You tell me. you big blowhard.
