Reply #87: I asked you how you prevent this

Your answer is there has to be a way.

I say how?

You say something.

I'm not the smartest guy in the room all the time. If you can tell me how you mitigate a deep sea oil volcano that cannot be stopped from having a disastrous effect on the area when the government in the past has outsourced smaller environmental catastrophes to Haliburton and other entities. I'm willing to listen.

The US Military is equipped to kill things, not stop oil. The industry believed this would never happen, and therefore never built the equipment to deal effectively with it.

The science surrounding dealing with toxic sludge in the ocean, not very developed (if you can develop a science for toxic sludge clean-up).

I'm sure there is something that can be done to make it look pretty and make us feel good we tried (such a generational thing in my opinion, this notion of trying), but you sound like my relatives telling my dad to get chemo when the doctor said it wouldn't help him.

I'm looking at the situation from the prospective of there are something you can't fix.
