Why can’t they use a no phosphate, no suddsing soap to break up the oil?
Like Amway’s LOC?

It sure works in bathroom drains. (Just watch out for evil eco-terrorists with large cans of Drano.)

...and - some really enterprising science-type could figure out a way to condense the hay and straw into some type of re-usable fuel for cooking, heating, etc. and RECYCLE.
This could open up some fine jobs for those out of work and take the initiative away from government to spend more time analyzing and criticizing. It could save BP, et al. a ton of money and do the right thing. We need drilling.

Looks like it’s going to be an outstanding year for a friend of mine. He’s got 1200 acres of the stuff under cultivation right now!

In the video, the two gentlemen mention taking the oil-soaked straw or hay or whatever grass has captured the oil and taking it to a generating plat that uses wood chips or burns things to make energy.
Your idea in your post #19 is EXCELLENT!!!!

I kind of take offense at these two guys being called rednecks.I take it as a compliment. Two salt-of-the-earth kind of guys with a common-sense, low-cost solution to a big problem. The Ivy-Leaguers can shove it.

You are absolutely right. The EPA will find a way to ban it; can’t have a crisis (with a homegrown solution) that doesn’t involve the government.

hair also works well, my wife owns a hair salon and many of the local salons have been collecting the cut hair to be used as an absorbant for the spilled oil

It's not a new idea and I hope it works for them.
The big question is why the feds aren't taking charge of this and doing anything to stop the leak.
Also there has been a plan since 1994 for managing spills like this by using firebooms and burning the oil on site before it spreads.
Why aren't they doing it?

They start off shore with tug boats and barges spreading or blowing the hay over the oil. Hey! There's gotta be something wrong with this idea... it's not like the stuff grows on trees... < /sarc>

That is amazing - American ingenuity at its best!!
No need for Gov’t or EPA (same thing) intervention - they seem to only make things worse anyway.

I kind of take offense at these two guys being called rednecks. They appear to be American businessmen to me. Same difference.
Don't be "offended" by the term, redneck. That's just buying into a made-up left-wing stereotype. Most folks I know who fit the profile are actually proud to be rednecks.
