First- The OIL on surface and beach or shore is NOTHING as it seeps at water level deep toward land in sand or dirt at tide level unseen unless you use a BACKHOE or shovels on beaches or shore even of the Lake. Second - Oil is Radioactive. Third and most deadly the CASING PIPE is STEEL and not STAINLESS STEEL thus a time bomb which will explode some 30 years after being put down in the earth or especially the salt water of the Gulf. Uncontrollable fractures will haunt all grand children and destroy Earth if not addressed soon. Take a radiac monitor or GEIGER-MUELLER AND CHECK YOUR OIL TAR BALLS and you will confirm ALL GULF OIL IS RADIOACTIVE. Now go thank those who wash off Birds and Animals or Turtles with the radioactive oil going into the sanitary sewer, Storm Sewer or out on the ground in some facility to contaminate all ground water. Do not clean up beaches at night with lights and ATV so the people can work full 12 hour shifts and sleep, eat and drink 12 hour shifts BECAUSE THE LIGHTS WILL DISTURB TURTLES NESTING AREAS AND CONFUSE THEM OR BIRDS WILL NOT SLEEP. I solved Ixtoc 1 spill telling PEMEX to force LEAD into the casing. BP was told 042310 through yesterday how to shut down the well in 8 hours at a cost of perhaps $200,000.00 using removal of the BOP, insertion of a Branko R. Babic Friction Plug 200 feet tall of solid steel round nosed and 13 and 5/8 diameter inserted immediately after BOP was pulled down to the section of casing to seal off all oil and gas, remove cables from crane, pour super heavy hydraulic cement up the 13,000 feet of casing displacing the oil and gas then seal the top casing 36 inches around with a Branko R. Babic Counter Pressure Plug and pour a 20 foot tall X 20 foot diameter additional plug over the weighted 30,000 POUND CPP using a steel form painted or dipped to withstand rust letting it set up. COST $200,000.00 not 20 Billion 750 Million and the leak would have been stopped in 8 hours FLAT.
