True. Meanwhile... sott.net St Petersburg, Florida -- With the disaster in the Gulf keeping everyone on edge looking for a solution, the answer might lay in material manufactured by a Columbian company with an office in Florida. The company, Global Environmental Technology, has a product that is 100 percent organic and was invented in 1998 by its president, Carlos Forero. He won science competitions in Switzerland and Austria for the product, which encapsulates oil and cleans the material up. Not only does the product clean up the oil, it can also be recycled for use afterwards. In addition, if birds are contaminated, the product can used for them as well. You would think that with the disaster in the Gulf, and oil spilling out and heading to the beaches, the Coast Guard would be interested in the product. However, the company says all they are getting is red tape and getting nowhere. Liz Cabot, Forero's sister, says the Coast Guard said come back when they got EPA approval. When EPA reviewed the product and said it could be used, the company went back to the Coast Guard and Cabot says they were told they had to fill out paperwork. Cabot says they have been waiting and waiting for the paperwork to clear. And while the paperwork is being cleared, the oil continues to spread in the Gulf.

I'd just as soon not get thrown in a FEMA camp beneath the Denver Airport (that's where they were rumored to be in the early ninties) - but if not for Presidential power exercised through the various depts, I don't see how we will make changes to wind power etc and deal with climate change. Congress is a mess on that.

When are the R's not foolish? ===== Funny you should say that and then this. -g- Miran-Duhhhhh! - Matt Taibbi trueslant.com/matttaibbi/2010/05/10/miran-duhhhhh/ sent by Sparrows since 14 hours 44 minutes, published about 5 hours 49 minutes Memo to those Tea Party activists out there who’ve been howling about those liberal wusses in the Obama Justice Department who read Faisal Shahzad his Miranda rights: congratulations. You’ve just opened the door for a major new expansion of government power. Having followed the Tea Party around on and off for a few months now it’s been hard not to notice some of the contradictory messages emanating from the movement. You’ll hear the same people who want to abolish the EPA complaining about the slow federal response to the Gulf oil spill, or the same people who are stocking up on guns to ward off the inevitable government assault on their property cheering for beefed-up drug enforcement laws and the no-knock search warrant. The reason I really respect the Ron Paul people is that they’re consistent on all of these things. If they don’t want the government telling you you can’t buy a gun, they also don’t want the federal government telling you not to smoke weed or patronize a prostitute. Paul understands that you can’t make appeals on general principle unless you actually believe in that principle across the board. tags: tea partiers, miranda rights, holder, ob admin
