According to previous MSM reports, the loop current should have engulfed the entire east coast of Florida with foot thick coverings of oil, inundating and destroying all life forms there forever.

How long does it take for crude oil to biodegrade? 1-2 years? 5? more?

“On June 16, Markey notes, BP told the Coast Guard that its use of Corexit had never exceeded 3,365 gallons in any recent day.
Yet e-mails to Congress told a different story. In fighting the Gulf oil spill on June 12 and 13,
the e-mails noted, BP used 14,305 gallons 36,000 gallons respectively.”

I dunno why they have such a hard time accepting the idea that maybe the Little Wee Beasties (microbes) simply multiplied due to the high availability of food (the oil) and lunched a lot of it down.

Like Nature hasn’t had long enough to evolve an Oil Eating Wee Beastie? Of course it has. And natural seeps have been occurring since before humans existed — and if not lunched away by something, would still be around.

Clearly, Mother Nature has a better handle on this than we know.

Interesting this "nightmare scenario" posted here which essentially comes down to too much oil. It just seems like the best thing to do is start producing this well as the current status of the well is that pressure is slowly rising. Why is that not even considered an option?
