Like everyone else I have been watching the happenings regarding the oil leakage in the Gulf.
I have heard of and seen many solutions – most involving super high-tech, and super expensive solutions to mopping up the oil.
Well here is a guy with a solution that is so simple and inexpensive it is crazy!
I believe you could soak up the oil with the hay and load it onto barges. Then even extract it later if needed!
Sad but this will probably not be used for three reasons – one some stupid shit government regulation would prohibit it, two the contractors being paid millions of dollars to clean this up will buy off the politicians and three the guy is a southerner wearing suspenders.
