The Environmental Protection Agency has the authority to bar BP from receiving future U.S. government contracts. We cannot trust that the other wells are safe. I think we need to take it one step further.We must shut down BP oil down immediately. All the oil rigs in our oceans must be checked for the utmost in safety measures immediately. The regulatory commission responsible for checking these rigs must also be looked into. There are some unsafe politics in the mix. Obviously.

We need to protect our oceans from their recklessness.

STOP SPRAYING DISPERSANTS!

Spraying more chemicals into the water is not the answer. This is crazy. BPs already sprayed 700,000 gallons of chemical dispersant. The chemical they are using is called Corexit (deodorized kerosene)- just makes the oil break into tiny drops and sink.

No Toxicity Statements have been filed by Corexits maker Nalco.

What does this do to the sea life?

In Nalco’s video about Corexits: http://www.nalco.com/applications/corexit-technology.htm
There is no mention of wild life concern or water quality research.

This stuff can make the oil less visible, but then will it be one of those outa sight outta mind type of things. The media has got to stick to this like glue. We must.

Wouldn’t it be better to just get the oil up, not disperse it with other chemicals into the water?
