Gulf Oil Slick

Diavolo · 06-08-2010, 06:54 AM

I'm seeing some stuff on the conservative sites about some guy named Nick Pozzi and some supposed solution that was used before but BP won't consider it now, involving "vacuuming" the oil up into tankers.

I've spent some time trying to get to the bottom of it, but haven't been successful. I know how an idea catches fire and every jackass in the world forwards it around.

Has anybody here actually seen or done the research to see what they're talking about? Was it really used in the Middle East in 1993? Did it work? Why would it or wouldn't it work now?

I know how those websites are, and like a friend said the other day, even a stopped watch is right twice a day.
