Oil Leak In The Gulf

[Cofe]

Been watching the blown out well in the gulf on the news. It looks like the oil mess is getting way out of control. What can be done?

Re: Oil Leak In The Gulf

Thirty years ago, the refinery I work for, had a big spill of heavy #6 oil, in a nearby river. A solid slick about 1/2 mile. They covered the slick with jet fuel and with the Fire Dept. on the ready, lit the jet fuel, which burned up most of the oil.

Ah, the good old days.

They are considering similar for this spill. Not sure how the environmentalist will get on board.

You're not barging in and I have no "lock" on threads about this - just answering your Q!

Remember that SEINFELD episode where Kramer invented that "blubber ball" that contained oil, so it would not spill?

We could use something like that!
