Do we have any assurance that the lying dog in the white house is going to allow this A Whale to save the coast?

Only after it is shutdown and ordered to port so the CG can count life vests and fire extinguishers.

If he doesn’t I’m going to flood the White House with faxes until the paper leaks out the windows, and call the line until it overflows or my fingers fall off from dialing.

I think he would be monumentally stupid to turn this one down.

Oh yes, and that'll straighten him up for sure.

too bad it can’t be used to skim all the crap coming from DC.

the vessel is capable to skim 500K barrels of oil a day

In the interest of accuracy the vessel is capable of skimming up to 500,000 barrels of oily water a day.

If you let the oil rise to the surface by not using dispersants, it will be mostly oil it skims.

Aren’t these earth cultists worried about the carbon footprint they are making?

Has the fearless leader told the EPA to loosen their oily discharge specs yet ?

When will he meet with the doers instead of the DC gang like the other week with BP, how much of use came out of that gathering ? Not much I bet.

EPA and Goober could probably relax the "oil discharge rules" but a bunch of enviro people in Portland managed to get a federal judge into the business of dictating rule changes to EPA.

First, he issued an injunction prohibiting all discharges of any kind from a vessel unless there was a permit to do so. This was to prevent them from pumping bilge water into US territorial waters lest it contain invasive species.

He also dictated to EPA that it write up some rules for issuing permits for pumping bilge, etc.

What this one judge did (with the connivance with several of the West Coasts most dangerous enviro groups (one of which I believe is actually the home of the Earth First crowd who commit arson and blow up bombs to make their point) and (with the connivance of Illinois, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and New York ~ too cowardly to sue the US in the Supreme Court) was to PREVENT the use of the best technology available to clean up the world's largest oil spill.

Obama will need to IGNORE the injunction to authorize the use of The Whale and other vessels of its type. The Jones Act (which Goober probably thinks has something to do with the size of his penis) is a trivial issue, but these federal court injunctions cause creative havoc ~ particularly for this regime. After all, he's appointed a whole host of enviro people and lawyers so he doesn't really have anyone who wants to go to court and challenge this injunction.

He doesn't have anybody at EPA who wants to write the rules the judge called for, but they could be whipped up in an hour (I could still do such things ~ just give me one of their specialists for the "words"), and be promulgated in 10 days.

I want $1 million in small bills for doing that job, and a free passport of course.

The EPA has already discussed the fact that the water being returned to the Gulf might not be pure enough to meet their standard.

Just because the A Whale is here doesn’t mean it’s going to be used. It has not been officially allowed to operate.
