BP Oil Fix #19 – Git ‘er Done!

June 30th, 2010. By AbiK

If there’s one phrase that has popped up consistently in all the emails and reader comments I’ve sifted through for fixing the BP Oil Spill, it’s “Git ‘er done!” The implication, of course, being that the folks at BP are either moronic at best or consciously avoiding a fix at worst. And now with 12-foot waves pounding the Gulf surf, compliments of Hurricane Alex, the painstakingly slow process of removing oil-soaked sand, bit by bit, from the shorelines will slow down and efforts to contain the spewing oil will be undoubtedly be on hold as well. No gittin’ ‘er done now.

This Git-‘er-Done Fix is from Wade, who sounds like he’s not one to leave comments loosely about—he seems more like someone who’s just fed up with this whole mess—like many of us. So this is what Wade has to say…

Fix the BP Oil Spill Idea #19

“Hi Nancy, I think you could take a deflated baffle, much like the ones they use in oil tankers. Then it could be inserted into the pipe. Once inside you could fill it with air or a fluid that hardens. When the oil stops you could cap it and weld it. You’ve probably heard a hundred suggestions like this but this is the first one from me so consider it a sign “and get er done”.  Thanks, Wade.”
