I had a friend email me this, the controlled experiment works great.

Fire booms and burning the oil immediately is the government approved method of containment. Proved to work by the government.

Once the Obama-spill wasn’t contained, the government had no fire booms, it was Katy bar the door.

So who is going to tell the truth?

Eco-salvation from a Bubba in Bib Overalls. LOL!

Have these guys really figured out how much hay it would take to clean up any significant amount of the oil? They said they used a quarter pound of the alfalfa, and the amount of oil looked to be about 4 ounces. If 200,000 gallons are leaking in just one day, the amount of hay needed to clean up just ONE DAY'S worth of oil is about 800 tons, or about 1.77 million 90 lb. bales.

Completely unworkable.

We don't live in a vacuum.

There go the hay prices, unintended consequences and all. Beef prices go up. Horse owner's begin to evaluate selling....

OTOH, I think it doesn't matter what you use to “Coagulate” the oil. They could use the chipped and shredded Christmas trees from last season. or all the grass clippings from the golf courses around the USA. Not that I don't want

How do you get to the 80 percent of the oil that’s not on the surface?

It’s much easier just to use ducks and otters. The oil seems to stick to them just fine and you can recycle them into bio-diesel.
