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. |

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. |

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. -- LSMFT If I wasn't me I wouldn't like me either.......... |

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!! |

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

The oil eventually goes away via evaporation (sort of), and the greater volumetric bulk tonnage of all that BP acid stays put (sort of). Either way, biodiversity and even the physical environment gets screwed. BP and others in this Gulf of Mexico have even bigger problems than mere blowouts and lives lost. This area could soon become the world’s largest dead zone. Acidic and NOx saturated areas of low oxygen were bad enough before BP spilled its guts all over the place, whereas adding the right kinds of bugs to that contaminated area, and then diatoms could make that Gulf area even better than before, given a few years and no further artificial leakage or even flaring for the next decade. Our recently foiled OCO mission would have refined this following data by a factor of 100 fold better resolution, as well as having improved its accuracy, including the capability of identifying natural gaseous and thermal emissions from those of artificial means (via coal, oil extractions, various hydrocarbon processing and numerous other mining that merely vents their bulk of various gaseous elements to atmosphere). All-inclusive sweet and sour venting plus sweet/sour flaring on behalf of extracting crude oil, whereas I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see the global tally of 1e9 m3/day (not including helium that’s always passed along as vented, inert flared or otherwise distributed as the slight inert portion of natural gas consumption). http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/idb/struts/...&s=3&d=10,6,11 Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Data Used to Map 2008 Waste Natural Gas Flaring [August 2009] ”National Geophysical Data Center's (NGDC) Christopher Elvidge and co- authors have published a paper entitled, "A Fifteen Year Record of Global Natural Gas Flaring Derived from Satellite Data" in the peer review journal Energies. The paper can be found at http://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/2/3/595. Co-authors include: Edward Erwin (NGDC), staff from the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES): Daniel Ziskin, Kimberly Baugh, Benjamin Tuttle and Tilottama Ghosh, and Dee Pack of The Aerospace Corporation. The study was based on DMSP nighttime lights annual cloud-free composites spanning 1994 through 2008. DMSP estimates of flared gas volumes are based on a calibration developed with a pooled set of reported national gas flaring volumes and data from individual flares. Flaring efficiency was calculated as the volume of flared gas per barrel of crude oil produced. Global gas flaring has remained largely stable over the past fifteen years, in the range of 140 to 170 billion cubic meters (BCM). Global flaring efficiency was in the seven to eight cubic meters per barrel from 1994 to 2005 and declined to 5.6 m3 per barrel by 2008. The 2008 gas flaring estimate of 139 BCM represents 21% of the natural gas consumption of the United States with a potential retail market value of $68 billion. The 2008 flaring added more than 278 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) into the atmosphere.” The cheapest part of this whole sulfur and oily muck deal is their $75M liability limit (roughly 2.5 hours worth of BP’s corporate annual revenue) ~ BG |

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. ~ BG |
