Wow, that would be the cheapest and easiest way to soak up the oil. I like the idea to burn it later for energy production too. Can't do that with the pads they are using now...

That is why America is the greatest F'n country on Earth!!!!
Those men are great Americans!!!
Could your Gov. Brainiacs come up with that idea O??

Cause gubment don't like CHEAP or EASY....

Was anyone else waiting for them to pour kitty litter on top of that dry grass?

Hmmm really? All of the oil must be at the surface then, not 5k feet under water. It is a surface solution in regard to cleanup. I rather like the idea, could be the newest hybrid fuel. They need to drill a few relief wells and kill the well downhole and stop adding fuel to the enviro and dimtards fire to stop drilling.

Evertime there's a spill I think that it would be posible to build a tanker with a suction device to suck up the oil, put it though an onboard seperator, salvage the oil and pump out clean sea water. If someone could perfect that they'd make a fortune from fees and the reclaimed oil they'd keep and sell.

not sure where they will get all the hay, but it is a great idea and definitely would be collecting a lot more oil than they are doing right now.

That was my point, guess it didn't get across right, BP's main focus is plugging the hole at the moment (which still isn't done) so why not let some guys like this try these ideas out at the surface.

I'm pretty confident that BP could just as easily separate oil out of only 3 gallons of water in a controlled environment.

Its a Weir system,used a with boom. 2 ships pull the boom around,then a ship lowers the 250 to suck off the oil. Oil is the put in holding tanks to be separated.
While in Alaska at CISPRI think it was called a Oceania 250.We transferred our oil to the 401 barge.At a later date we would do the separation process.

Well, the hay thing is pretty cool (would make a great science fair project), but I think it's a little hasty to assume these guys have the answer. I wonder if the hay will act the same in salt water as it does in fresh water.

It seems like you could build a voluminous net that is filled with hay (like a big sponge) sink it in the water, and tow it through the water. In addition to that, you could build a similar large sponge and sink it right over the hole so the oil has to pass directly into and through the makeshift "filter". Seems like the leak is big enough that they wouldn't be able to replace the hay filter fast enough though.

last time i check Dawn dish soap cuts grease and oil, maybe they just need to pour a few millions gallons of Dawn into the ocean[Swim][Stooge]

Plus all the fish will have really soft hands. I hate a fish with rough hands.
