Solutions to the Oil Spill in Gulf | DeepWater Horizon Leak

Florida Oil Spill .com has listened to people talking about this disaster. Everyone that we know is extremely upset by the whole situation. We are especially saddened by the loss of the wetlands and all the lovely animals that live there (including humans). We are also disappointed that it seems that the oil industry hasn't been exploring this.

The first alternative I heard was the Nuclear Missile Option. Some of the problems I see with this are: the explosion will probably cause more oil in a larger more diverse set of holes and we would also be introducing nuclear contamination to the gulf stream.

One writer remembers how plumbers stopped the water at her home when the cut-off valve didn't seem to stop it. The plumbers froze the water line. She thought wow if they could freeze the oil they could easily put a new valve on it. It seems that freezing crude oil is very complicated. It makes sense though since she knows that cars and trucks run at freezing temperatures in Canada that oil must freeze at a pretty low temperature. It turns out also each deposit has its own properties. It would be nearly impossible to freeze it, though the depth and resulting increase in pressure might help. Just a thought.

Florida Asks Feds For Oil Spill Help

According the Florida Attorney General, their office has asked for the Federal Government to waive provisions of the Jones Act. According to the State of  Florida, the law is a "federal act hindering oil spill response efforts." The state's chief legal officer wrote a letter to the President and, according to sources with the State of Florida, the Jones Act  "mandates that the transportation of material between U.S. points be reserved for U.S.-built, owned, and documented vessels. The [Florida State] Attorney General noted the Unified Area Command has treated compliance with the Jones Act as an operational requirement, mandating that the foreign equipment be transferred to U.S. ships, a very time-consuming process that is hindering immediate response."

Quoting the Attorney General's letter, “The limited use of foreign vessels to aid in the cleanup of the massive Deepwater Horizon oil spill will not likely impede U.S. trade and commerce. More importantly, vessels with advanced cleanup capabilities should not be turned away during our time of need.” Florida Oil Spill.com notes there is prior history in waiving of these provisions of Federal law. as part of  the disaster response to Hurricane Katrina.

Image | Fire Underwater at Blow Out Preventer? No.

Florida Oil Spill | Around 2:15 am on June 10, 2010 we noticed what looks like fire underwater near the blow out preventer via the underwater feed we have been monitoring. The orange colored substance is visible under the top-center  of the screen  capture below, behind the text data on the top of the image. The orange pattern seems to move around in the frame.

 Is it possible that the blowout is now on fire underwater? No, it is chemical dispersant being shot into the oil flow at the bottom of the sea. Out of sight - out of mind.

Is this an underwater fire? No, they are chemicals being shot into the oil flow.

Welcome to Florida | Oil Spill Arrives | Video

Well, its now official, the oil has arrived in Florida, just as predicted, albeit a week later than scientists had calculated. In Tampa, scientists from the University of South Florida have made several trips from St. Petersburg, Florida's Bayboro Harbor in their research ship. Not surprisingly, the scientist's findings have been castigated by corporate shills, despite replication of their findings of underwater oil plumes by other independent researchers. Here is the latest video.

Oil Spill Flashback | 1979 Videos

Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Disaster from 1979 starring some of the same cast members of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon cast? Impossible - no, there was a 1979 oil rig disaster that leaked for over 6 months. The Florida coastline was threatened and they attempted and failed to stop the leak. The only difference - they were in 200 feet of water, not 5,000 feet.

Now that the Gulf Oil Disaster may have killed the Gulf of Mexico, the polluters are trying to kill the oil well that has been gushing for more that a month.
