Does that seem dramatic?  Does that title seem exaggerated?  Well, it’s not.

Just take a look at this video about an oil spill that happened 10 years ago in Brazil.  You’ll be able to draw some quick parallels between the plight there and the oil spill tragedy saga that’s just beginning here.

LATE BREAKING NEWS!  In case you haven’t heard already, the US Gov’t confirmed today that this oil spill was the biggest oil accident in history.  The busted well leaked about 5 million BARRELS.  There are 42 gallons in each barrel, so that’s about 210 MILLION gallons of leaked oil.

(For comparison, that 0.16% of the amount leaked oil in this video from Brazil.)

What’s going to happen to the Gulf of Mexico?  What’s going to happen to the Southeastern United States?  I don’t know.  What I do know, thought, is that the continued need for oil spill cleanup workers and general oil spill jobs will be pivotal in how this oil spill turns out.  If there are enough brains working on solutions and enough qualified, trained oil spill job holders to the necessary remediation work – we will win!  The Gulf will get clean.  The fishermen and shrimpers will go back to work.  The vacationers will come back to pile into the ocean.  Life will go back to normal.

Here’s the video.  It’s good:

I thank you for your continued interest in the BP oil spill jobs and the Gulf oil spill recovery.  It’s going to take ten of thousands of oil spill jobbers if not hundreds of thousands of train oil workers participating in oil spill employment to save the Gulf

It has been announced today that the Chief Executive Officer of Her Majesty’s Royal British Petroleum Oil Spill Company, Mr. Tony “The Birdman” Hayward, will be stepping down.

It’s about time, don’t you think?  I mean, somebody really needed to sock-it-to-’em for the greed and complacency-caused safety shortcomings on the doomed Deepwater Horizon and its famous blown and busted oil well head nearly a mile under the Gulf of Mexico’s once “sort of pristine” waters.  And I can think of nothing better to do than have Tony “The Birdman” Hayward just pack up his obligatory corporate executive severance package, put on his “Yellow and Green” bowler hat one more time, and hit the door.

Yeah, let’s kick him out…to his sorry ol’ mansion in Kent.  (You know, County Kent with the famous city of Canterbury and the “White Cliffs of Dover.”  BTW, I’ve seen those cliffs in person.  They’re quite spectacular.  Now back to the chastising…)

Speaking of Tony Hayward (a.k.a. The Birdman), it is currently rumored that his severance package will be the measly sum of just a little over £1000000 (pounds).  That $1.5 million dolla’ for us ‘mericans.

Yeah, that’ll show him who’s boss.  Yeah, that’ll make up for the hundreds of millions of gallons of oil spilled into the Gulf of Mexico.  Yeah, that’ll give great comfort to the fishermen, shrimpers, and tourist business owners of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas who’ve lost not just a season’s income BUT a total way of life for the foreseeable future.

July 21, 2010: National Hurricane Center's Summary Map

Often times in dealing with the Gulf oil spill, Mother Nature’s furious hand comes in and temporarily puts a halt to the oil spill jobs currently going.  This is especially true for the work being done over the old Deepwater Horizon site about 50 southeast of the delta’d mouth of the Mississippi river.

As we speak, there is a tropical disturbance sitting right about the midway point between Northern Haiti and the south end of the Turks and Caicos islands (they look like an extension of the Bahamas…just further south and east.)

Because of this, the Coast Guard — who has final say-so when it comes to judgment calls for oil spill jobs on the safety of a particular maneuver, construction plan, or when the weather takes a turn for the worse — is making tentative plans to get out of the open Gulf of Mexico waters ASAP should the tropical disturbance become a “Tropical OMG!”

Just when you think your oil spill job opportunity is about to “get shipped overseas,” super-sized foreign technology fails and good ol’ massive numbers of people working their oil spill cleanup jobs saves the day.

Yes, it’s true.  The news just came out today released on NOAA’s official outlet for BP oil spill updates.

A WHALE Doesn't Work

Remember the world’s largest supertanker-oil skimmer owned by Taiwan that was going to “save us all” by doing the work of thousands of smaller boats in a fraction of the time.

Guess what:  It Doesn’t Work!

According to the press release, during the 24 hour test of A WHALE, the amount of oil captured was “negligible.”

More importantly, while the Superskimmer test was going on, Unified Area Command (the body of government AND corporate interests overseeing the oil cleanup) had its own “control” going by doing conventional oil cleanup in the Gulf at the same time A WHALE was at work.

While the massive oil skimmer was able to do nothing, the Unified Command group did this:

• 590 smaller boats removed 25551 barrels of “Oil Water”
• Conducted 26 controlled burns
• Recovered 12800 barrels of oil at the source

Pretty impressive, huh?

What does this mean to you when you’re looking for some kind of employment in the BP oil cleanup?

It means that they will need more workers to do the job because their miracle cures for the Gulf oil spill — like using A WHALE to do the job of many conventional workers — just ain’t working.

More and more personnel will be necessary to do the oil spill jobs because there is NO OTHER WAY to do it.  No mechanical savior from Taiwan will do it.

Your oil work in the Gulf of Mexico is secured once again.

More oil spill jobs info to come…

The Times-Picayune newspaper of New Orleans has always been a favorite of mine. That’s probably because the city of New Orleans has always been one of my favorite places in the world.

Sunday of last week, on June 28th, they published an article comparing the Exxon Valdez oil spill to the BP oil spill. I wish I had seen the article before I make the last post. Just take a look for yourself:

As you can see, the area affected by the BP / Gulf oil spill is already much bigger than the Alaskan oil spill. And the map of the Gulf is only showing the area that is currently “majorly” affected by the oil spill. It isn’t showing the BP oil washing up all the way from Texas to the Atlantic coast of North Florida.

Again, you can see how real the situation is in the Gulf of Mexico and how real these oil spill jobs and oil spill job employers are. They’re STILL wanting people like YOU to help take part in cleaning up the oil.

They’re most likely going to need a ton of oil work personnel for the next 20 to 50 years. Oil clean up is not a quick process, and once a beach, marsh, or estuary is cleaned doesn’t it won’t have to be cleaned. Not all coasts are getting pounded equally with the spilled oil at all times. For now, it’s coming in “waves,” so to speak. That means it’s coming periodically. So, beach is oily, it gets cleaned, then 10 days later another layer of oil is put down and it must be cleaned by the oil spill workers AGAIN.

And this is just one single aspect of oil spill work. The emergency of this BP oil spill catastrophe has NOT reached its peak. Thus, the need to hire for more and more new oil spill jobs has NOT reached its peak, either. For those who play their cards right, the oil spill job will become a long-term oil spill career. I can imagine in the near future the Gulf of Mexico basin having an economic vibrancy of the heydays of Detroit, Michigan years ago.

Yeah, yeah, I know. Maybe it’s too early to say stuff like that. Just trying to make some lemonade out of these ugly, tarry, stinkin’ lemons.
