re: #449 austin_blue

Yes. That is the correct technical term. I’m also interested in why they haven’t introduced petrophage bacteria into the stream. We have some kick-ass oil-eaters usable in fresh water (like Micro-Blaze- the stuff is Killer Bee), but I have no knowledge of saltwater bugs that are similar.

Anyone have any info?

BP claims they are looking at all “methods” and “suggestions”.

I think BP is full of crap.
I don’t think we’ve got the full story.

I have to wonder why they didn’t go ahead and put another BOP on top of the one out there, as I heard was being considered, instead of doing a procedure requiring a ship to be there, which will have to get out of the way if there’s a storm (leaving ALL the oil to spew again into the water).
