oil spill threatens entire east side of N American continent. Dispersant used is highly toxic, can be absorbed into clouds and come back down as toxic rain.

BP rejects hair booms, says they will sink. How can hair floating in water, being soaked in water and oil, sink?

Video shows hair boom to be very effective and not sinking

the dispersants being used are produced by a company called "Nalco" which was recently aquired by Blackstone Group, Apollo Management L. P., and Goldman Sachs Capital Partners as a joint venture (how convenient) in 2003 (from JamiSteven)

  • Speak up dude...

  • @darkstar3x16 LOL SO YOUR THEORY IS THE US GOVERNMENT IS TRYINMG TO DAMAGE BP?

    HAHAHAHHAHA

    THAT'S LIKE SAYING SATAN WANTS TO CUT OF ONE OF HIS OWN LEGS!

    BP IS ONE OF THE ENERGY ARMS OF THE NWO IDIOTS. OBAMA AND OVER 2000 MEMBERS OF OUR FEDERAL AND STATE REPRESENTATIVES ARE ALSO ARMS OF THE NWO IDIOTS!

    REMEMBER THEY OWN ENERGY, FOOD, MEDICINE, BANKING AND MUCH MORE DRIVEN BY PURE EVIL

  • @Renda1984 JOHN MOORE - AUTHOR OF 'GLOBAL WARMING - WHAT THE GOVERNMENT IS NOT TELLING YOU'

    /watch?v=_Z78_bwqfKs

  • @Renda1984 YOUTUBE HAS TRIED TO SCRUB SOME OF THE TRUTH - HERE IS ONE STILL ONLINE

    /watch?v=IQ2YdoL374U

    BUT IT'S MUCH WORSE THEN YOU REALIZE BECAUSE THE WATER TEMPERATURE AND THE GULF STREAM FLOW TO THE REST OF THE WORLD - GOING TO THE UK AND BRINGING NICE WARM WATER FROM THE MID ATLANTIC REGION - NOW THE GULF IS NOT FLOWING UP - IT'S NOT MOVING BECAUSE OF THE HEAVY OIL INSIDE OF IT

    THERE ARE 8 VIDS - START HERE

  • US government are blowing this out of proportion.

    they want to damage BP as much as possible so they can take it over. It's happening already..

    Why are people so fucking stupid?

  • Please go see the website (the story behind the story, A. True Ott Phd). This is an Asphalt volcano and it has natural organisms that would clean the gulf but the dispersants are the real killer. Yes, WE ARE SO ANGRY BECAUSE OUR INTUITION TELLS US THIS IS MURDER. There are so many alternatives (hay, hair, Mr.Costner machines, the list goes on) but we feel so HELPLESS, to STOP This. It is horrible the fish are gasping for air, everything is dying. We have to do something else.

  • If the hairboom sinks when it absorbs oil, just attach a small balloon to it. That's less than a quarter to the cost and totally environmentally friendly.

  • airheads

  • Try 2.5 to 3 million gallons per day [24 hours]

  • I am freaked OUT about the use of these chemicals! this is just wrong! the more they use it the more they convince me that the conspiracy theorists are right.
