If there is any twist to the clean up it's the fed relying on BP to do it. Too much for them. If you want it done right do it yourself. The FED/state and local should have stepped in from day one on the clean up. Not meaning to let BP off the hook either. The other big problem is lawyers. BP working through Lawyers. Trying to limit liability. Trying to keep volunteers from cleaning up. Hey, it's out damn beach, if we want to we'll clean it up too, we will.

OK, we have a different perception of this oil debacle. Tell me if you change your mind as things get worse. The really bad oil only started turning up a few days ago. What if the oil does serious damage to the Florida Keys coral reefs. Is that acceptable to you? And it was somewhat preventable if they had used more skimmers early on. None of its acceptable to me........I don't want the GOM damaged, animals killed and people put out of work. What we've learned in this disaster is that the oil companies are not prepared for a spill. In the future they must be. Cleanup technologies must advance so they are state of the art. I have never seen what playing the blame accomplishes.
