[QUOTE="DocWatson, post: 143915, member: 112"] The money issue has a very simple solution. We need to freeze all BP assets under US control and any others we can get other nations to lock down. $75 million is nothing more than a bad joke and if we allow them to, BP's legal team will figure out a way to get the assets out before we can seize them. This is going to cost tens of BILLIONS to get it done correctly. It would seem to me that there is a pretty straight forward way to get a large amount of the oil out of the water at a relatively inexpensive cost. They say that there are no super tankers equipped to get the oil out of the water and that's why they are not being used. If BP brought in a convoy of super tankers and used dredge barges as tenders to suck up both oil & some water and fill the tankers with the slop to be separated on shore. Those dredge barges move an enormous volume of water and would make what the skimmers are picking up look like nothing. Am I the only one who sees this as a viable option ?? [/QUOTE]
