Oh, as for cleaning the oil out of the water, I think the farmers had the best idea. Spread straw on top of the water in the Gulf, leave it for a day or so, then rake it up. The straw absorbs the oil.

Agree. I believe you could even burn the straw over the water. It sure beats it going into our marsh land.
