It bothers me that no one has mentioned using oil absorbing polymers. These polymers turn the floating oil into solid masses that can be broken apart and lifted off the ocean surface. Oh yeah, it's because you can't salvage (reclaim) the oil so that it can still be sold if you use the polymers.
Granted, using oil absorbing polymers is expensive . . . but what has this disaster cost already?
Oh yeah, they're not going to do much of anything that'll hurt their chances of cashing in that black gold. They don't want to use the hair booms either... and I doubt their interested in much bioremediation (or mycoremediation).
