Secretary of Energy Steven Chu In 2007: BP Is Going To Help Us Save the World!!! What Was He Smoking? Could It Be The Sweet Aroma Of $500 Million From BP?!

This is who President Obama chose for our Secretary of Energy!!! I'm telling you they're ALL IN CAHOOTS!!! It's maddening to watch our federal government aiding and abetting BP's crime against Marine LIFE!!!

When I first heard that The EPA approved BP's use of TOXIC DISPERSEMENTS, I honestly could not believe it. The EPA approved BP to use TOXIC dispersements. I was seriously in shock when I heard that news. That makes the clean up much harder and makes the environmental situation seriously worse! But not only that, to use TOXIC anything should have raised significant RED FLAGS to our U.S. Federal government aka the EPA. Why do they even bother calling themselves ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION agency?!?!?!

I have taken the following from the EPA website. Please click HERE to read the entire report:

The EPA and the U.S. Coast Guard have authorized BP to use dispersants underwater, at the source of the Deepwater Horizon leak. Subsea dispersant application has been in use since May 15, 2010. While BP pursues the use of subsurface dispersants, the federal government reviews its effectiveness and impact on the environment daily; EPA specifically monitors the water and air for dispersant and its potential impacts through a rigorous monitoring program. Below is EPA's directive to BP, including the monitoring plan that the company must adhere to in order to ensure the protection of the environment. The Federal Government reserves the right to discontinue the use of this dispersant method if negative impacts on the environment outweigh the benefits, and the Coast Guard’s Federal On-Scene Coordinator has the authority to make daily decisions regarding any request by BP to adjust the use of dispersant.

HOW STUPID!!!! Are they INSANE!!! My gosh I really want to slap some SENSE into our government (ie; The WH and EPA and the coast guard) for ALLOWING this and NOT considering the environmental and human health negative consequences!!! They may claim they are, but anybody in their RIGHT MIND would NEVER have allowed this to begin with. It's actions like this that have been pissing me off! BP could NOT be doing this without our federal governments permission!!!

Then to make matters worse the EPA and coast guard approved BP to BURN the oil surface!!! Again how STUPID! Now we're finding out that BP doesn't care that they are BURNING sea turtles and any other kind of marinelife that has been caught in the oil mess!!! But have you heard a PEEP from the EPA or coast guard?!?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Nothing.

President Obama COULD HAVE had the problem solved within a matter of weeks, but he immediately REFUSED THE HELP of  THIRTEEN international entities that had offered the U.S. oil spill assistance within about two weeks of the Horizon rig explosion! All he had to do was WAIVE the Jones Act!!!

Then on June 18, 2010 ABC News reports,

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal has spent the past week and half fighting to get working barges to begin vacuuming crude oil out of his state's oil-soaked waters. By Thursday morning, against the governor's wishes, those barges still were sitting idle, even as more oil flowed toward the Louisiana shore. "The Coast Guard came and shut them down," Jindal said. "You got men on the barges in the oil, and they have been told by the Coast Guard, 'Cease and desist. Stop sucking up that oil.'" The governor said he didn't have the authority to overrule the Coast Guard's decision, though he said he tried to reach the White House to raise his concerns.

And lastly to nail my point about President Obama IMPOTENCE in handling the Gulf Coast crisis... The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 gives the President of the United States complete responsibility for immediate action in cleaning up an oil spill. OPA, among other things, amended Section 311 of the federal Clean Water Act. Section 311 now provides in part that:

(A) If a discharge, or a substantial threat of a discharge, of oil or a hazardous substance from a vessel, offshore facility, or onshore facility is of such a size or character as to be a substantial threat to the public health or welfare of the United States (including but not limited to fish, shellfish, wildlife, other natural resources, and the public and private beaches and shorelines of the United States), the President shall direct all Federal, State, and private actions to REMOVE THE DISCHARGE or to MITIGATE or prevent the threat of the discharge.

(B) In carrying out this paragraph, the President may, without regard to any other provision of law governing contracting procedures or employment of personnel by the Federal Government (i) remove or arrange for the removal of the discharge, or mitigate or prevent the substantial threat of the discharge; and (ii) remove and, if necessary, destroy a vessel discharging, or threatening to discharge, by whatever means are available.
