Considering they were showing pix of people in little boats trying to “wipe up” the oil with what looked like paper towels yesterday, or with shovels and plastic trash bags this morning, uhhhh…I think this should be a top priority!

I think he got the patent taken care of yesterday… I’m amazed at how much technology goes into drilling and how little is devoted to cleanup. This approach seems to work better than anything they’ve tried so far.

I imagine the government or contractor companies would be reluctant to use a product they didn’t develop or test themselves, at least initially. However, the idea seems promising and I hope they’re sending out feelers to companies and academics whose work is focused on oil spill clean up as well. Also, patent their idea if they can! Cool stuff.

TIM! Thank you for this video…I’ve got it up on my Facebook page with a plea to everyone to make sure they share it with everyone they know…and every politician! This Gulf situation is so desperate and so hideous….we must get this video to go viral…or postal or whatever it is…just seems like things are moving waaay too slowly down there, and still such denial….(We missed you when Sara was here….she says they SMELLED it just 4 or 5 days after the explosion, and yet there are those who don’t believe they will be affected…even smart folks we know who have property in Key West….Huh?)
