San Francisco fuel spill

Local NPR show just had a guy on saying that state law requires 40 hours of hazardous materials training in order to work on beach clean ups for oil.

So, the cleaning companies preventing volunteers from helping are stuck in a bad PR situation but would probably be stuck with the liability if they let volunteers help them.

Yeah when I first heard about this a few days ago I just knew it was going to go nuclear. A "major" oil spill right in the backyard of perhaps the largest eco-freak subculture in the country. This has apaplectic response written all over it for the greens who will no doubt be driving down to the shore in their gas powered cars to protest this atrocity.

Get the proper clean up teams in, save all the birds you can (except pigeons, them you can let drift) sue all the companies involved to cover the clean up cost plus enough to make a point, then just get on with life.
