Don’t ever underestimate the challenge of going from lab tests to production.

That looked like at least a cup of oil in each bowl and the results are amazing. Compared to the billions of dollars that will likely be spent on this cleanup, why not spend a few million to see if this works. I can’t envision it hurting anything to try.

Very neat. I would hope something like this would be tried. Of course, we don’t have an administration that is willing to mitigate and solve problems.

Too much oil, not enough hay.

Won’t be done because there’s very little possibility for corruption.

This is too simple a solution for the brainiacs in charge.
They need a 10+ Billion dollar solution to justify their 200K+ a year salaries.

Interesting way to clean the oil up but what about the hay animals need to eat? I bet my hay bill would be really high. I am using my pastures more now but still feed a flake of hay to each horse.

Yeah but if it’s easy to clean up, we will just drill more.

It ought to be possible to construct 'breakwaters' made of hay around sensitive coastal areas. And as these good ol' boys explain, the hay with the oil attached to it can be gathered up and burned as fuel.

Naw, too simple for the genius-grade experts!

This will never work.

-My guess is that neither one of those guys have a PHD.

-Unless it’s premium Alfalfa, their hay would never be expensive enough for the government to use.

-Because of the cost savings involved, it would be more difficult to tax us more for the process.

-If it worked, it would be more difficult for Obama and his tribe to justify not drilling for our own oil.

-It wasn’t Obama’s idea.

- Most importantly, those two guys are NOT likely democrats... so forgetaboutit.

Other than all that... it seems like a very reasonable idea.

Straw would work better it seems. Hays are all different depending on the grass’s growing in the pasture...Aflalfa vs. Timothy vs and other numbers of grass. Straw would be more obsorbant as it is drier that hay..but I didn’t read the article.
