pmpd's technology was not available during the exxon valdez clean up, therefore the beaches and rocks were left severely contaminated and this contamination is still having an impact on Prince William Sound to date. pmdp's technology will be very useful for the gulf clean up-this man-made disaster is just beginning and if pmpd has technology that will save beaches, surrounding wildlife habitats and fishing/shrimping/crabbing grounds then BP would be foolish not to use such technology. No matter what the cost may be to BP because the pending lawsuits will be mind boggling should BP fail to clean up this mess to the satisfaction of all affected. jmo
