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!

[Nat Turner]

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?!?

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.

doesnt matter...no one will listen.

Beware Pseudomonas Putida, you’re going to have to trust me on this one ...

[mojitojoe]

They should have done this from day one. But NOW the millions of gallons of Corexit will kill the microbes.

I saw this same solution offered a couple of weeks ago but in a political atmosphere where Bobby Jindal can’t even get the jerk in the white house to autorize funds to construct sand dikes there’s no chance in hell something that could really help solve the problem will ever be approved.

This was done 20 years ago when Bill Clements was gov. Twice.

The problem is/was, no one could say whether it helped or not.

Here is a 1990 article about the spraying.

Dispersants are toxic to the environment, and don't actually eliminate the oil. 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.

1. Dispersants are not toxic, especially at the dosages being fed. The ones they are using have a health rating of 1/1 (you can check the MSDS).

2. No dispersants don't eliminate the oil, them make the oil "available" to the oleophilic bacteria that NATURALLY live in the Gulf. You don't have to "add" them. So there is no need to "suggest" bioremediation, that what the dispersants, (those toxic chemicals! /s) are already doing ... NATURALLY!

May I suggest you take about 20 minutes and learn more about dispersants, I've laid it all out for folks who "would like to know." For a quick (20 minute) lesson on this go to

The Patriot's Flag - Dipsersants and the Piper

You are dancing to the "left-handed Piper's" tune when you start making these kinds of statements that are (1) Not true and (2) misleading. Every aspect of this whole spill catastrophe has two sides, emotion and logic, action and reaction, Facts and Tales. Knowing the difference is what will get us through this.

But then how will Barry demagogue this?

But, that would overturn the Illegal Alien’s agenda to take control of yet another industry. They don’t want it cleaned up until BP goes under, or is owned by the Fed’s.
