1. Is this for real? Shit. However there's one problem. The hole is still leaking.

I think so far the problem is not the oil itself so much on the ocean surface, which is a major problem. But the fact the oil is just leaking. And they need to stop that leak. So I didn't find in the video an answer to the leak, but I did find an answer to the clean up process. Which is also good, and I'd like to know if that problem is for real.

2. I'm assuming it's for real...

...someone sent me the video, so I don't know anymore than you. If it is for real, they could at least treat the existing oil beofre it hits land.

4. They could but they won't. It seems as though they were collecting the oil.

Probably for filtration of the salt content later on. I do agree with you. But another problem is the continuous leak which they have a problem shutting down and ultimately this is my concern. I'm sure that FEMA (or whoever is dealing with this situation) is aware of the use of microbes. Money from the oil is stopping them----especially it most of it can be collected. This is a disappointment for me, but ultimately the reality.

3. This sounds worth investigating.

Almost sounds too good to be true.

Wait a minute how can BP make a profit on this if it is not their product? Sorry, I guess it won't work then.

6. How can they make a profit if it "kills" the oil.

WHEN will environment come before money????

7. They can't.

and IT WON'T.
