re: #408 ~Fianna

Oh, here’s a question that I’d love to have answered. If you’ve already talked about it here, let me know and I’ll search for it so that you don’t have to repeat yourself, but is there any evidence either way on long-term effects from the dispersant?

It’s an environmental wacko sideshow, as far as I’m concerned (oh, and I’m a Life Member of the Sierra Club). The best dispersant in the world is Dawn dishwashing liquid. The stuff is dynamite. A million gallons of whatever they are using as a dispersant over 50 days in a blowout that is pumping out 2 million gallons *a day* of crude is insignificant. It’s another reason that I loathe extremists of any stripe. They are counter-productive to getting things fixed.
