No doubt it would not be easy. The question is one of if it would be worth it. The priorities, imho are to stop the well/recover the oil being produced while that is being done, and to protect the coastal wetlands. Screw the beaches (I know that won’t be popular) but it is the marshes which are the spawning and feeding grounds for wildlife, including much of the commercial fisheries. The beaches will recover more quickly.

The last I heard locally the slick is about 40 X 60 miles,,,

They are trying to sandbag the coast with choppers,,,

Not much beach here,,,(marsh),,,

Maybe straw would help there,,,

IMHO they will have to put pipe down to the wellhead and

pump oil/water to Port Fourchon by a special pipeline just

to cut the amount that goes into the Gulf,,,

They will try a “Junk Shot” soon (Fox),,,

If they can't cap it,,,?

Gunna be a Mess...Fo’Sho !...
