The short term priority is BACTERIA. Yes bacteria that eat oil are what is deparatley needed, and they have been used in thousands of spills of hydrocarbons of all types. Oil storage tanks leave a thick tar deposit sometime many feet thick. The bacterial treatment can render the oil from tar to liquid and removable in about 10 days, or less. In fact the liquid is recyclable back to oil products. The manual back-hoe digger approach takes a whole team of respirator equipped workers about 5 weeks, and the tar has no use. </p>bj commented on 'Oil spill in Gulf of Mexico'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf8f353ef0133ed2c0e1a970b2010-05-04T09:49:09Z2010-05-04T09:49:09ZbjThis is terrible.

<p>I have to admit that I work for an Oil & Gas company. But accidents like tis are so destructive!! Why is it so hard to stop the leaking...should there not have been a safety devicy that would have prevented this leakage!!!</p>

Have you ever heard of a "spill" at the Hoover Dam? a refueling? of course not, Mother nature does all that for us! We must learn to live with the environment, not fighting it. The Benzine molecule is a carcinogen - we know that but we are too stupid to fear that. The Prairie Wind Corridor - worth more than all the oil wells in the world - lies untouched. Will China sell us the food this spill has destroyed? When will this mess hit the beaches of Florida? Do electric bullet train networks begin to make sense yet? Soon? Time to develop the South Western U.S.A.'s solar potential? Super-insulation in homes start to look good? Heat pumps anyone? This is not pretty for America - Watch Chavez boot this ball around! We look like technological morons. The Russians laugh out loud! We can walk on the moon but we can't safely drill for oil? WTF?</p>David commented on 'Oil spill in Gulf of Mexico'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf8f353ef0133ed25c124970b2010-05-03T09:29:58Z2010-05-03T09:29:58ZDavidThis looks like becoming an environmental disaster on a massive scale.

When a big company tells you an accident is impossible don't believe them, though it would be nice to believe them. I don't like to think about what may happen on the beaches and the wetlands of the Deep South in the coming months. When the possible dangers in what we do are so great we have to ask ourselves is it worth it? Is leaving the oil where it is madness or is trying to extract it with our imperfect technologies madness. Taking the oil out of the ground makes a few people rich and keeps our cars going for another few years before it runs out and what then? We only have one world folks. If we &#@% it up we won't get another one.</p>Henry Garcia commented on 'Oil spill in Gulf of Mexico'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf8f353ef0133ed229ed6970b2010-05-02T23:18:49Z2011-02-23T05:29:39ZHenry Garciahttp://profile.typepad.com/garciahj$2.98 trillion dollars in aid since 1970, where are the experts on capping the problem.

Why is the world media placing politicians on the air instead of conferencing world class experts making recommendations on fixing the problem. Could there be a more important problem facing the world today?
