So, have we seen the oil make it to Daytona beach? I was there in June and went to the beach and it was beautiful and there was no sign of Oil. I just wondered if it ever made it to Daytona..

Dont Get SCAMMED! Believe it or not, there are actually people out there that are trying to cash in on this BP oil spill disaster. These companies convince people to invest their money into a company who has found a way to clean up all the oil.. They will tell you that once their invention has been discovered and used, everyone will make millions of dollars in profit on the clean up. Obviously if this was a true tried method and a sure thing, they would not need to go to small personal investors to make it happen. Everyone likes to make money, but don't get caught up in the hype and wind up losing everything you have.

We see the news about what BP is planning to do to repair the damage they have done with this oil spill. They talk about $$$$ they are giving up, bonuses they are forfeiting.. What about the Beautiful pelicans covered in brown oil who are caked in this stuff and will die while BP tries to figure this out. Check this video out that I found. It shows you up close and personal the devistation that is continuing to happen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OVNd6Fa9fg

BP's chief executive, Tony Hayward, said it had no evidence of underwater oil clouds. "The oil is on the surface," he said. "Oil has a specific gravity that's about half that of water. It wants to get to the surface because of the difference in specific gravity." When the oil is spewing through the water to get to the surface, Im thinking it has to be effecting the fish and wildlife in a major way.. What a bad move on his part to defend it in this manner..

Louisiana, the nearest state to the leaking well, some 42 miles offshore, has been the most impacted. The state's governor, Bobby Jindal, said more than 100 miles of its 400-mile coast had so far been polluted. State officials have reported sheets of oil soiling wetlands and seeping into marine and bird nurseries, leaving a stain of sticky crude on cane that binds the marshes together. Billy Nungesser, president of Plaquemines parish, said he had seen dying cane and "no life" in parts of Pass-a-Loutre wildlife refuge. Oil debris, in the form of tar balls and surface sheen, has also been reported ashore in outlying parts of coastal Mississippi and Alabama. Tar balls found on Florida beaches a fortnight ago did not come from the BP spill, tests showed. Read more.. http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/may/31/bp-oil-spill-death-impact

With all the advance technology we have and the billions of money spent in research, it seems to me that when we have a huge Crisis like this oil spill, it takes way tooo long for anything to be done correctly. These Big guys at BP get paid a lot of money.. One would think that at least one of those guys jobs would be to plan and prepare for a disaster such as this and have a concrete plan on hand. This plan should have been hatched before the pipe was there.

Release date: 21 August 2010 Saturday at 6:40am CDT, the forty-eight hour ambient pressure test was deemed successful. Under the guidance and approval of the National Incident Commander (NIC) and Unified Area Command, BP has been authorized to begin open water fishing operations from the MC252 Blow Out Preventer (BOP). The fishing operations will aim at removing drill pipe within the MC252 BOP. Operations commenced this morning. Following successful fishing operations and authorization from the NIC, BP will proceed with replacement of the original BOP with the BOP from the Transocean Development Driller II (DDII). In anticipation of a successful operation, the DDII set a storm packer and has unlatched its BOP from the second relief well site. In the case fishing operations are unsuccessful, BP and the federal science team are developing contingency procedures which would be carried out under the approval from the NIC.

As part of its long term monitoring and research program in the Gulf of Mexico, BP is deploying a new technology that will enable nearly constant monitoring by two satellite-controlled, unmanned vehicles. The vehicles, known as Wave Gliders and developed by Liquid Robotics in Silicon Valley, California, get their propulsion power from wave action and use solar power for their electronics. They will be deployed beginning today and begin a months-long, ongoing research program in the Gulf of Mexico. "These vehicles will provide us a steady stream of data about water quality and should significantly increase the available data for ongoing research activity," said Mike Utsler, chief operating office of BP’s Gulf Coast Restoration Organization. "We will initially deploy the Wave Gliders between the Macondo well and the shoreline, and look to expand from there in the future."
