British Petroleum (BP) has even refused to use their own oil tankers, lying in the Gulf, to suck up most of the runaway oil, and possibly salvage it for sale later, as was done after a Saudi spill in the ‘90’s. That method was so successful, it vacuumed up about 85 percent of that renegade oil.
Nick Pozzi, a former oil pipeline engineering and operations project manager is puzzled why BP did not salvage perfectly good crude oil for later sale, and to thereby protect marine and wildlife.

Wow, this story is stinking more and more.

Makes it seem to me like it was sabotage to begin with. Why are they acting against their own best interests? The only answer can be that they are being paid not to stop it, but only to make feeble attempts. THey want the government to come to the rescue at the last minute, I think.

Afterwards, nationalization.
