Oil booms don't work. The oil goes over or under them. Dispersants are toxic to the environment, and don't actually eliminate the oil. Skimmers help, but they can't capture all of the oil which is hitting our shores.

Bio-remediation is a technology which has been long proven to completely eliminate the damage of oil spills, and needs to be deployed in the Gulf immediately.

But I heard that Microbes when they run out of oil, want to eat humans instead. Isn’t that risky?

Saw that in a movie I think.

Bio-remediation is old technology and fine in certain circumstances....but I don't think this is one of them.

We've used it up here but it is in more or less contained areas.

Just keep sopping...Mother Nature will soon help...

How dare Texas take initiative and responsibility for their own territory. Don’t they know that all wisdom and actions must originate from The Won? (/ DUmmie mode).

Texas Secession NOW!

I think if you turn around three times while chanting "hope and change, hmmm, hmmm,hmmm, the microbes will leave you alone.

Wait this is from Texas? How much do you wish to bet that the regime will summarily reject it just because of that fact alone?!?

Like everyone, I’ve seen that flick 100 times at least! I think it won best picture, and a dozen other Academic awards. Best line of the movie... “blub glub blub”.... “Argh, ungh!”...”blub glub blub”.

Gray goo. Kinda funny that an oil spill off the Louisiana coast is where the fantasy doomsday scenario starts.

The area needs about 10 hurricanes in a row for mother nature to do the clean-up job.

Jersey douchebags are particularly at risk.

Watch the video at the link. Texas has already proven the workability of this technology on a Gulf oil spill.

I've been wondering if there is oil or oil dispersant in some of the rain that has been falling in the Eastern U.S. in the last couple of weeks. I swear I smelled some oil after a rainstorm we had in Charlotte a few days ago.

Is that "smoochy lip" thing they're doing supposed to have some significance?

It looks queer.
