evaporate it

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!

exactly what happens anyway as it normally evaporates. With the right
catalyst, the vapor could be gathered and used to power a self powered
boom system that not only orients itself toward the sun but powers
into the spill.

How about doing some real engineering in regards to your idea, instead
of just thinking sh*t up. Let's see acouple of pages of a real
proposal.

It's mostly acidic and otherwise toxic muck (aka: extremely sour crude
that's nearly worthless). In other words, perhaps it was an inside
job.

How about using 'fail safe' blowout preventer shutoff valves. The whole
problem is 'no shutoff'. Stop all new drilling until a fail safe blowout
preventer can be made.

Well BP cut budgets and had that refinery blow up, quite a few people
died, a year or so ago BP who owns the alaska pipeline and had cut the
repair budget to the bone, had a major leak.

their histrorical track record is cutting costs to much have accdent.

wonder if that will be the root cause again?

in any case all platfrms should have the better blowout valves used by
the rest of the world. signal from surface quits for any reason valves
slam shut

we REALLY NEED to get the US economy OFF OIL!!

The problem is that there was apparently a tool string in the pipe
that prevented the BP from closing it when it went off. *The problem
was NOT that the BP didn't trip, so what would your suggestion fix?

This is interesting. Could you point me to more information on this, I
hadnt heard about it. As recently as 2 hours ago AP was quoting
workers on the platform as saying both the BP and and the backup,
DEADMAN, failed to trigger.

The well had one. It didn't work.

Before it got hot enough to evaporate the oil, it would boil the
seawater, creating clouds of steam and blocking off the sunlight.
