[quote:ShadowDancer:MV8xMDkyOTkzXzE3NDMwMjk5X0E5NEY4OTQ0] I would tend to agree and HOPE differently...then again is it really a botched oil dig or is is they have hit a volcano in addition to their grab for the 25000 cubic sq ft of oil, methane, and natural gas...they might of awakened a dormant volcano. Sadly it suits bigger suits to have our food chain compromised, as the Romans salted the fields of those they planned to invade. Seems when one is low on food it is hard to raise any resistance Agenda 21 is quite real and watching Gao's solution is promising, the question is WILL BP USE IT or continue ruining the Gulf and the fountain of living waters being persecuted- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIWMnmq2MgI&feature=related [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIWMnmq2MgI&feature=related [/youtube] If it is a volcano, we still need to offset the damage and long term damage to many kinds of life. Innovative thinking is needed and it is great Gao has It is about all of us surviving...not just a select few. :bump: [/quote]
Original Message
It appears that D Gao has developed a polymer that absorbs the oil and allows water to pass freely is taking front and center stage for re-claiming the oil.
Di Gao, a University of Pittsburgh engineering professor, has developed a technique for separating oil from water via a cotton filter coated in a chemical polymer that blocks oil while allowing water to pass through.
The researcher reports that the filter was successfully tested off the coast of Louisiana and shown to simultaneously clean water and preserve the oil.
Di Gao, an assistant professor and William Kepler Whiteford Faculty Fellow in the Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering in Pitt's Swanson School of Engineering, created his filter as a possible method to help manage the spreading oil slick that resulted from the April 20 explosion of BP's "Deepwater Horizon" drilling platform. Gao has submitted his idea through the Deepwater Horizon Response Web site managed by the consortium of companies and government agencies overseeing the disaster response.

Also he has demonstrated it effectively in LA for them I believe

No matter what we still have a massive die off of sea creatures from the oil but especially from the dispersants.
I hope Gao has a great solution.
It will be worthwhile for bp(bottomless pit) to bring this in and stop the hemorrhage, UNLESS they really do have an agenda that does not involve our survival.
