Default evaporate it

: Frogwatch
: To get rid of the oil spill, why not evaporate it by pointing curved
: mirrors on barges onto it. This would concentrate sunlight, not focus
: but "concentrate" causing it to evaporate quickly. such mirrors could
: be made from simple curved sheets of aluminum or even by inflating
: cylinders that are silvered on one half and transparent on the other.

Ooh, just like refining, only uncontained!
Fill the atmosphere over the gulf with (essentially) gasoline vapors.
I love this plan!

could end in tragedy?"
