On a larger scale, this would mean to have Huge fine nets full of Hay/Straw being trailed by Boats on a routine section throughout the Gulf in the worst affected areas. Could it really be possible?
Well Done Chaps, you deserve more then just a noble Prize....
people wake up the best way to clean up oil on beach is with free oil. gets the oil out of the sand and put the sand back on the beach not in a landfill look up ancon free oil
Human Hair is actually much more effective, since hair has a high absorbency in capturing oil like a seagull's feathers, it'll be less ugly and efficient. The hair technique has been done already in the oceans of the Alaskan oil spill and has been cleaned through the gatherings of hair from hair salons and were placed in fiber bags to be cleaned and reused. It's smart and environmentally clean.
it takes about three cups of hay to pick up a cup of visible crude. there are by now a few billion gallons of crude contaminating the gulf. have to measure the amount of contamination in the basins of water before the hay and after the hay clean up, then, maybe, a conclusion of how effective the use of hay to clean crude from sea water can be stablished.
um, this vid needs to go viral. put it up on facebook, and share with your friends and families people. if solutions can be this simple, then our governments are either completely inept or lying to us or both. we need to tell each other the truth when we find it!
I agree that they will need an abnormally large amount of hay to clean up the oil that continyues to pour from the pipe. But at least they're making an effort. We should all stop being critical towards everyone's idea's to clean up the spill! Every little bit helps!
Well at this rate shown you'd need at least 10 Bushels of Hay to Soak Up 1 Barrel of Oil - BP is Leaking an estimated 100.000 Barrels of Oil each day into the Gulf - so you'd need ONE Million Bushels of Hay "DAILY" to try and Sop-Up this OIL - and that 1 Million Bushels of Hay is just for the Oil spilled today - You'd need another 72 Million Bushels of Hay to Sop-Up the Oil already spilled into the Gulf! So Boys....Good Luck with that marvelous "Idea" of yours!!!
actually this is an old process used in commercial harbor to clean up the oil still of big container ship. it has been used for years before any of this new remedy. it might not be the most updated to date but it has been effective and in use for many years
NIKOLA TESLA could have saved us from this 100 yrs ago! please look it up, he created a wireless energy system that allowed energy to be obtained anywhere on earth! i put up info on my youtube and i demostrate a 20 ft wireless transmission to prove that the system works! we could build it right away and get off of this oil dependence, you can run cars wirelessly and never need oil again. please read tesla's "increasing human energy" it tells u real clean energy
While I can appreciate their effort, I don't think we can compare the small amount of oil poured into the bowl and the type of oil to the massive amound of oil in the Gulf. Don't get me wrong I think we should try this, but I am not sure this experiement tells a full story as it relates to the disaster in the Gulf.
Wouldn't it be faster to create a filter to separate the oil from the water? Heres what i think we should do. We should have boats that have oil tanks ,which are empty, and have some sort of filter connected to the boat so that when it goes over the oil it sucks the oil into the tank while also distributing clean water back into the gulf. It sounds like a good plan. Can someone tell me if we can do that or is there a flaw to that plan?
hahaha problem is grass catching oil . Not water getting dirt dude . real problem is shown as a solution here ... hahahaha ..... but i love your honest effort guys hahaha problem is grass catching oil . Not water getting dirt dude . real problem is shown as a solution here ... hahahaha ..... but i love your honest effort guys
this shows how pathetic our government has become when a couple of concerned AMERICAN are trying to help with a problem that we give billions upon billions to the government to solve. where is al gore with all his environmental answers or Chaney/ bush the oil experts. people like bush and gore don't give a fuck about us they just have opposite views on how to bleed us and tell us to chose a side and now you can throw obama into the mix .
Ok I've still got questions though. It sucked up the top layer of refined oil (not crude) there's still lots under the surface in the ocean. The demonstration is in fresh water not sea water. I also want to know is whether or not the water is still potable or if it's full of chemicals now, and not just a cosmetic change.
Not meaning to offend, just the curious scientific mind in me.
The intelligent Obama does not want to be shown up by some white farmers, because he has black (well not quite black, more like gray/brown), Pride. So, he is willing to destroy sea life and even human life of all races. But at least he won't be shown up.
@nafreehc Planetresource(dot)net has a Eco friendly solution to clean up the tragedy British Petroleum has created
One person can still make a difference in this world, is that simple interactions have a rippling effect. Each time this gets pass along, the hope in cleaning our planet is passed on .watch the youtube video title "COMPLETE CLEAN UP OF THE GULF SPILL"
Amazing i seen these guys yesterday on June 13,2010 on fox news, there Hay formula is just dam amazing. These guys should get some kind of open air play from here too dam eternity there product..
B.P. playing hide and go seek from your comments, they are also hiding something, find out the secret of what is really going on & why b.p. don't want to clean this up, send a message to Tony Hayward, let your voice be heard,
We will send your comments and videos to B.P, also spread them worldwide, We will bring to light, what b.p. wishes to keep in the dark. And we, unlike B.P. won't hide anything!!! go to our video entitled a message for tony hayward read the description. G.B.P.
I hear BP doesn't think it's such a good idea because of where would the oil-soaked hay be discarded. I have a PERFECT idea!!!!!! In BP's parking lot and also in Tony Hayward's pool and yard!
NBC Nightly News stated tonight (June 8) that they wouldn't know what to do with the oil soaked hay once it was used. What a bunch of bologna. All they have to do is store it in the same place they store nuclear waste! Seriously, BP doesn't want to be bothered with anyone but their stockholders. They wouldn't even burn it in environmentally safe incinerators unless they made a profit. We have to do it ourselves, now! Remember, Alaska STILL has oil a few inches below ground from Exxon Valdez
Barry is still looking for a way he can take credit for, so things like this get refused by the government to utilize. Still waiting on some useless Harvard idiot to come up with something.
Yeah, just a couple white southern racist rednecks, they can't possibly have a solution to such a complex problem, Only a Harvard trained Socialist could come up with something to stop the flow. Thank God Obama was smart enough to stack his administration with hundreds of intellectuals with no real world experience. Maybe Mexico's president can come and tell us how we should do it.
@stormsg1 this is a brilliant idea.at least they're thinking of something to stop this and not sitting on their butts like some people.This is going to help in this crisis wether u like it or not. No one wants to give bp the credit for cleaning up the oil that they spilled. This may not be the best way of cleaning up oil, but at least it does the job right.Yes,Harvard trained Socialists could come up with something to stop the flow,but this is about cleaning whats already leaked into the water.
actually this is an old process used in commercial harbor to clean up the oil still of big container ship. it has been used for years before any of this new remedy. it might not be the most updated to date but it has been effective and in use for many years
because we are doing this right now... except with a more effective material; hair. granted we could use more of it, but hay doesnt really absorb oil, rather oil just sticks to the mass. so, its not reliably effective on open water... dry land however is another story.
@hkrivell hahaha problem is grass catching oil . Not water getting dirt dude . real problem is shown as a solution here ... hahahaha ..... but i love your honest effort guys hahaha problem is grass catching oil . Not water getting dirt dude . real problem is shown as a solution here ... hahahaha ..... but i love your honest effort guys
Cause there is no money in a cure! And who ever held the patent for the chemical dispersant 'Corexit' (ahem, Cheyney, ahem) wouldnt get a nice fat pay out..
@slushomatic: "Support for the nuclear option has been linked to the Soviet Union's successful use of atomic bombs to cap leaks in gas wells on several occasions between 1966 and 1981. Four detonations achieved their intended effect, while the final effort "did not seal the well." no one can know everything, maybe when you realize this that overinflated ego of yours can focus on solving problems instead of being mr. always right.
@JSparkfist thank you. half the shit slushomatic says on here seems like it's coming from an child. Or an arrogant ass that only lets the stuff they like into their head and ignores the truth.
@gstrike13 Thats a negative on that strike as I always look for the truth even if it means that I dont like it. Take for example Bush yes Bush Jr. He was seriously no better than Obama in my eyes. Why you ask? well he started the whole bailout shit and spent tax payers dollars. And some say well we should have a social government I would like that...well got news for ya it doesnt work look at all the other counrties they are in way worse shape than us and if you like it so much..continued
then why dont you leave the USA and go live over there. We are a Republic not a democracy unlike what everyone want to believe. get over it get out or just let everyone have thier consititutional rights. Bad thing is though this spill wouldve never been this bad if it were not for the Democrats, Liberals, and the extream enviromentalists. We wouldve been able to drill in shallower waters or on land. The point of this happening in deep water is just that a tragady ...Continued
That shouldve never happened as this was at best experimental as no one has ever had to drill that far below the surface of the ocean. and why where at it why is it that the USA is always catching flak for drilling for oil and having all these regulations set forth by democrats and librals and not one other country that hasnt got any regulations?????
@JSparkfist you ever hear of the freedom of information act? good...ok now when this all came out on the libreal media I looked it up TAFUCKINGDA!!!!!!! Soviet Russia never used a nuke as it wouldve been very bad as it was still during the cold war. The US had never reported (intellegence agiencies) of nukes being used from 1966 to 1981 in Soviet Russia. This was looked up by some reporters also and some news papers...guess what they recanted what they had published as they had jumped..continued
on the libreal reporting bandwagon. Now the library of congress does have information on nuclear testing from Soviet Russia but none of those recorded tests were even near the vacinity of the leaks Soviet Russia had claimed. a little reserch on your paart would have saved you from looking extreamly ignorant...of course that is if you live in the USA. If not then the information wouldnt be available to you.
We should do all of the good ideas. We should do them all, now! We should have been doing them for 50 days already. That's OK, we can start now. Someone please hire me. I can help.
This is so simple. Sometimes it takes good old fashion ingenuity to solve problems. Forget the Government, Forget BP these men and like minded people need to propose these to the locals in the affected areas and start a clean up themselves.
This is pure genius! We need this out there on the oil spill 3 weeks ago! Let's get this ingenious method rolling before the oil rolls into to any more beaches and marshes!
HAY GUYS JUST GO DOWN TO THE COAST SHOW THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE N WORK THERE I BET THEY WOULD HELP YOU OUT ANYWAY THEY CAN SCREW THE oBAMA ZOMBIES HE'S TO DUM THE AVERAGE JOE IS SO MUCH SMARTER THAN THIS ASS HOLE.GUYS GET DOWN THERE AND SAVE THOSE PEOPLE
This is a great idea, but maybe we can use somthing similar to hay that can be used over and over again? cloth of some sort? floating spounge peaces or foam? im not really sure maybe some one else can think of something.
Gulf Oil Spill: Why is everyone asking for permission to save our own land and waters? Would we ask their permission if our coast were being invaded by terrorist insurgents? I think not - we would be out there heavily armed and
ready to kick some arsch! Any private sector folk working plan and strategy? There are a bunch of us who can help 'implement'... but cannot find the folks on the web and need a start. Pls let me know
I submitted this suggestion to BP and got this response back this morning. NO. 'Dear XX ,Thank you so much for taking the time to think about and submit your proposed solution regarding the Horizon incident.Your submission has been reviewed for its technical merits.Unfortunately, the team has determined that your idea cannot be applied under the very challenging and specific operating conditions we face.All of us on the Horizon Support Team appreciate your thoughts and efforts.'
Ok so those are SMALL BOWLS - with VERY LITTLE oil put into them. Can you imagine how much haw and straw would be needed to clean the Gulf??? They used a lot just cleaning out those bowls. Its great that people are trying to help with solutions but there are animals on farms that eat hay and straw. You would have NONE for all those animals - then they would start getting sick and dying. Result - not just gas prices going up!
@Mskelisnyder most animals in america eat corn products. idk what mexico uses but we dont. gas is going to go up anyway. our and the animals health are in danger from this being in our environment.
america livestock's health is in danger by default /because/ we feed em corn (and by extension ourselves by eating that shit quality meat). as for mexico, chances are most livestock there is corn fed as well since thats the cheapest, fastest way to fatten them up quickly for the slaughter. so the animals wont be missing the hay.
@knowledgethief negative have you ever been to central and south america? they do not have any restrictions on growth hormones which is what they use to get cows growing faster. thats why 13 year old girls in Argintina are fully developed by that time if not before. USA does use growth hormones too but to a way less amount because of the regulations and resrtictions. Corn isnt the only grain they eat either hope I helped ya on some of this mis info man.
@Mskelisnyder any damage control is worth it. even if they get less than 50% of it. and no, farmers aren't going to give away 100% of their hay to starve their animals. get real man.
I'd like to say, Hay works good, but we don't have too many hay fields down here.
We had a freeze here, and killed thousands of palms, their trunks are fiber/hair.
Cut down trees on location, grind, ship to Tampa oil soaked to incinerator for elec
We have the equipment ready to go, just off the beach. Authorities won't return phone calls. One palm makes a car size pile of hair. They make burlap socks a mile long to blow palm fiber in. 4 foot diameter booms are possible. contact me
The main problem is half a pound of hay cleaned a quarter cup of oil, Please estimate for me howmany pounds of hay it would take to soke up 1 barrel of oil? and multiply that ammount by mmm lets say 100,000 to start.. And then tell me how much hay the entire usa produces in "excess" than needed for farming. And then use the actual number of barrels leaked.
@bondxxxmage it is obvious you didnt pay attention to this video enough to understand that only a qurater of that hay that was in the bowl was used. It is also obvious that you didnt notice over half the hay was unused. Great job on posting without thinking there bud!
You just said the same thing twice. First you say only 1/4th of the hay was used, than you say half the hay was used. Ok ok. And i did watch thats not what i asked is it. I asked howmany pounds of hay where needed for 1 barel of oil. Weather that handfulls he dumped in for half a cup where all used or half used thats still a large ammount of hay when you look at the hundreads of thousands of barels of oil... Good job not reading my post, or watching the move jack ass.
@slushomatic Hydrophobicity is a common term in chemistry used to express the physical property of a molecule being repelled from the mass of water. Hydrophile is the opposite of a hydrophobe. You act like a total moron, grow up.
@ThePerkel3 See you call someone a moron...for what? using a better term instead of confusing people with jargon they may not understand? remember I am not the only one here reading these post. For the most part you have to K. I. S. S. so that at least an 8th grader can understand what we are talking about instead of excluding them out of the conversation.
@slushoma haha omg,tellin me to get a better education earlier on....Hydrophillic mean attractted to H20 and hydrophobic means it repels from H20....or "water" in terms you can understand. dont get all preachy just cause somebody called you out cause your vocabulary is the "8th grader" u mentioned. insoluble isn't the correct word either weirdly enough. that means it won't dissolve in water. ex:hydrophilic proteins are attracted to water but they certainly don't dissolve. therefore, your a moron
@gstrike13 uhh dude did you even read what that guy typed if not then quit acting all high and mighty troll. He said Hydrophobic you asshat. so basically you agreed with what I had typed earlier moron. so yes seems you need a better education also...oh btw you just got PWND biatch.
and on those protiens ummmm they would be considered insoluable....just like oh wait the OIL. when you take terms and use them where you shouldnt it will confuse people I understand that oil is both hydrophobic and insoluable. Thats why I typed what I did that way people will not get confused as to the nature of oil. But in the long run if crude oil is left in the ocean long enough the ocean acts as a dispersant itself and gets rid of the oil.
@slushomatic you really are dumb, your the one who was trying to make fun of him for using hydrophobic when he was using it correctly. i'm shocked by your stupidity.
@gstrike13 no I wasnt making fun I was just saying to use a word that others will understand instead of being too technical, Even though I understood what he was saying and knew it was a correct word how about reading all the post fuck tard. Oh and btw when some people make a joke for others to get a laugh from even from the guy the joke was to people like you come in a fuckin troll thier asses off ranting dumb shit just as what you have typed that I am now finding myself responding to..gtfo.
1 sq foot of oil and 1 pound of hay, for the spill that would take 1,508,109,926,400 pounds or 754,054,963 Tons @$200 a ton for hay would be $150,810,992,640 not including the price to deliver and disseminate it to the scene, then pick it up and dispose of it. Average price per ton per mile for barge is $1.80 so that would be about 200 mile round trip and the transportation costs would be $271,459,786,752. Then to dispose of hazardous waste is $10 a ton so that's another $30,162,198,520.

@ezradv i bet u just made those numbers up dumb ass.. even if those are true.. i believe it is nessisary to do it anyway seeing how we are RUIINING THE EARTH EVERY SECOND WE DONT! killing of thousands of animals and habitats! so i believe that the money system that humans made up is less important then the god damn earth we live on! fuckin dumb shits these days dont understand!
@Avia0r I agree with aviaor, and one other thing to add is that its up to the oil company to pay for it, not like they havent been making billions and billions of dollars in profits for how many years now? cost is on them, and im sure they can get a bulk discount for buying all that hay, maybe we dont need hay at all, maybe we can use some type of cloth that can be used and processed and reused, the gulf is getting really fucked up right now and we dont need all this fighting we need ideas
@ezradv So when I was a little kid and my dad would mow the lawn, I'd pick up the grass after it'd gone through the mower and play with it. What if everyone mowed their grass and then bagged it up and donated it? Wouldn't it work similarly to hay? It'd be a lot less expensive to just use what's pretty much a nuisance in your own yard instead of the money it'd take for hay. I mean, really no matter how much it costs isn't saving our waters more important than the cost? It should be priceless.
@ZalgoZalgo Oil will not be submerged it is an insoluable liquid dude...go back to school..Oh and before you say well the video showed oil under water.....ever think that the heavier parts of the oil suspends a bit below the surface because of lighter oil particles on top of it to keep it held below the surface?.....
@ZalgoZalgo yes I have and raw crude oil is not capable by natural means unless helped by an outside source (man) to have emulsion happen. like I said read man and get a better education. read what you typed also "I did at school chemistry class" hence the outside source (man, you)
@ZalgoZalgo yeah they are called dispersants, the name doesnt even actually say what it does, thats like saying a liquid is a surfactant. Dispersants are bioengineered, meaning they have certian protiens to dilute the viscosity and to also help the ocean get rid of the oil, Yes the ocean natural gets rid of oil as the sea floor natually seeps oil.
@slushomatic I naturally get rid of water, however I would still die if I drank 5 liter at once. Have you bothered looking at news rapports of scientists finding massive underwater oil yet?
@ZalgoZalgo actually you wouldnt you would get rid of it through urinating and it has been proven that Oil leaks out of the ground naturally...oh wait your in a different country and probably are restricted to what website you can go to like alot of countries are. But the main fact is you are ignorant of these fact as you havent had the chance or opportunity to see the scientific data for yourself. and yes they have found massive oil well under the water hence
the off shore oil rigs that are out there now. so indeed you need more education on subjects that you may not have access to otherwise. the fact remains that I have pointed out several times where you can go to find the subject material and yet you havent went to look it up yourself. it is a shame your acting like a ostrage with its head in the ground and refuse to think maybe someone out there has researched this subject enough to know what they are talking about
which I only do to shed light on the subject that you may not have access to like so many others. I think honestly you need to think a little more on some things before you type, seriously.
Wow, that's pretty neat! How it picked up the oil like that. I was thinking when watching,"How the heck can hay clean up oil from water?" But that's going to be a lot of hay...what would they do with the hay afterwards? It's nice to know people are thinking of solutions.
Can anybody tell me how oil spilling into the ocean killing fish and causing destructing and a massive hurricane that killed people and left them stranded without homes and food are the same event besides the fact they take place in the ocean?
trik: Yes, both are huge disasters and both had a slow response by the sitting President at the time. One got a lot of criticism thrown at it, and the other has not been, due to party affiliation. If anyone is critical of Obama in any way, they are labeled a racist, and that just does not fly anymore.
If they think the Native American Tribes is not watching them they are high these people care deeply about there territory and If B.P. don't nip this dam leaky cess pool it's going to be some Native American Rebel Tribesman Waiting for them, and they shot first and look to see who's hit second so B.P. remember this land is loved more by the people who was here first too claim it,so get those workers up, those thousands you said you had and start cleaning, and healing the land back up.
@eLLriDe420 do even know how remotely stupid that is??? Russia has never nuked a leaky oil well...If they did we wouldve known about it way before hand.
@slushomatic yea they have. they have nuked five wells and it worked 4/5 times. fuck head. we were going to do it but we are worried about the radiation. fuck shit.
@chasemacherzak I will referr to one of my above posts get a freaking education man, instead of being indoctrinated by libral proffesors. sheesh the stupidity on youtube is incessent with the smell of ass hence the word asshats(n. of or becoming an inraged idiot that does not think before typing or speaking) or asshattery ( adj. of or becoming inraged with stupidity to the point of realeasing uncontrollable brain farts)
Wow, this is very interesting and a seemingly low cost way to put a dent in the problem as well as reinvent hay as a bumper crop for american farmers. /after the government spends a quardruplezillion dollars on the research, we may be able to use it as a solution next time
Let it never be said that the cast of Hee Haw never did anything scientific. =P
(Joking, of course. In all seriousness this is a fantastic idea, though Bill Nye didn't make the volume of hay necessary to clean this mess seem any more plausible than any other solution... it doth appear we all be fucked)
It's an interesting idea of using Hay, some people even have the crazy idea of using human hair. All I have to say about that with human hair, going to be a lot of bald people walking around if that happened. Ok back to this hay thing... It's an nice idea, however there are other ideas like Skimming Oil which was used before in the past. I kind of like the Kevin Costner idea that he has invested in a device that cleans the oil from water by 99 percent.
considering they have spent 930 million already, im pretty sure they have checked all the simple options for feasibility, and covering the gulf of mexico with hay isnt likely to be feasible. but interesting vid non the less.
Heyall...I have a promising solution for removing oil from the Gulf's SALTWATER surface areas, I've been designed & used smaller versions for approx. 20 years. I can't seem to locate anyone (who has the authority to implement & can actually investigate my claims). The device will (retrieve) oil and release highly polished, oxygenated saltwater .They can be relocated & are economical. If you know where to submit the idea, please contact me. Thank you!
See my idea on my youtube page: drop a concrete "sewer room" pre-form to surround the area and to provide a chimney base using two cranes on tugs; follow that up with interlocking concrete pre-forms rising straight up. This is all highway drainage stuff that is easily attainable and already made.
Good job! To anyone out there--BP has a website where you can submit ideas. We need more facts and specs. What is the pressure of the oil spewing out? I've been trolling around, but haven't found much. God bless!
I don't see how it's obama's fault the oil company didn't have a safety valve for something like this that could obviously happen. I don't see what he could do
trik: It is not Obama's fault they did not have a safety valve. It is his fault that the Government has let BP do everything and not stepped in to help. "BP" stands for Barak's Problem. It took GWBush 4 days to fly to New Orleans. It Took Barak 12 days...and no one is beating him up over it like they did with Bush.
@WeedaPeople Um, no, BP stands for Beyond Petroleum. And how does a president visiting a disaster help anything?
The problem with the GWB-Katrina thing was that it took two weeks to help poor African American communities to get out of hell; the problem with the oil spill is there isn't any known way to stop the flow nor clean the mess up in a reasonable fashion... do you want him actually out there cleaning the mess up? Wouldn't people then be complaining about him not doing his actual job?
uthi: The responibility was not Federal in New Orleans. It was not Bush's right to step in until asked by the state of Louisiana. (Look up states rights, natural disasters). Obama can step into the oil spill problem and take over the hole plugging effort and the clean up. He does not have to ask BP's permission to protect the coast lines of several states. As Carville said, time for BP to lawyer up, shut up, and write checks.
@WeedaPeople ?? So you really think big government is a better candidate to be taking over control of a private business? Are you trying to get ALL the conservatives to hate him? Last time I checked, both parties wants him out of the affairs of a business... XP (you really are nuts btw; the president is in control of sending federal aid to a disaster area, and nowhere do I see him having the powers you claim... /wiki/Powers_of_the_President_of_the_United_States#Emergency_Powers)
@Truthiness231 Although to be completely fair, I did have the upperhand in this argument going in... I have the ability to read and think for myself (like, for example, I neither think Obama is a great president, nor do I think he's done anything bad either; currently he's done next to nothing to differentiate himself from someone who merely does the ambassador part of being a president (though, credit due, he is good at that bit)). Skeptical freethinkers FTW; rash idiots like "weedapeople" fail
uthi: I love it when someone raises his hands in victory and claims himself the winner of a discussion prematurely....and then resorts to name calling. Are you now claiming the President has no authority to take over an envionmental disaster that will effect the shores of his country? (Emergency Powers)
"Whey Hay" problem solved.
On a larger scale, this would mean to have Huge fine nets full of Hay/Straw being trailed by Boats on a routine section throughout the Gulf in the worst affected areas. Could it really be possible?
Well Done Chaps, you deserve more then just a noble Prize....

I agree that they will need an abnormally large amount of hay to clean up the oil that continyues to pour from the pipe. But at least they're making an effort. We should all stop being critical towards everyone's idea's to clean up the spill! Every little bit helps!
LadyPaige143 1 year ago
Well at this rate shown you'd need at least 10 Bushels of Hay to Soak Up 1 Barrel of Oil - BP is Leaking an estimated 100.000 Barrels of Oil each day into the Gulf - so you'd need ONE Million Bushels of Hay "DAILY" to try and Sop-Up this OIL - and that 1 Million Bushels of Hay is just for the Oil spilled today - You'd need another 72 Million Bushels of Hay to Sop-Up the Oil already spilled into the Gulf! So Boys....Good Luck with that marvelous "Idea" of yours!!!

Wouldn't it be faster to create a filter to separate the oil from the water? Heres what i think we should do. We should have boats that have oil tanks ,which are empty, and have some sort of filter connected to the boat so that when it goes over the oil it sucks the oil into the tank while also distributing clean water back into the gulf. It sounds like a good plan. Can someone tell me if we can do that or is there a flaw to that plan?

the off shore oil rigs that are out there now. so indeed you need more education on subjects that you may not have access to otherwise. the fact remains that I have pointed out several times where you can go to find the subject material and yet you havent went to look it up yourself. it is a shame your acting like a ostrage with its head in the ground and refuse to think maybe someone out there has researched this subject enough to know what they are talking about

which I only do to shed light on the subject that you may not have access to like so many others. I think honestly you need to think a little more on some things before you type, seriously.

Wow, that's pretty neat! How it picked up the oil like that. I was thinking when watching,"How the heck can hay clean up oil from water?" But that's going to be a lot of hay...what would they do with the hay afterwards? It's nice to know people are thinking of solutions.

Can anybody tell me how oil spilling into the ocean killing fish and causing destructing and a massive hurricane that killed people and left them stranded without homes and food are the same event besides the fact they take place in the ocean?

trik: Yes, both are huge disasters and both had a slow response by the sitting President at the time. One got a lot of criticism thrown at it, and the other has not been, due to party affiliation. If anyone is critical of Obama in any way, they are labeled a racist, and that just does not fly anymore.

If they think the Native American Tribes is not watching them they are high these people care deeply about there territory and If B.P. don't nip this dam leaky cess pool it's going to be some Native American Rebel Tribesman Waiting for them, and they shot first and look to see who's hit second so B.P. remember this land is loved more by the people who was here first too claim it,so get those workers up, those thousands you said you had and start cleaning, and healing the land back up.

do what the russians said and nuke the pipe

@eLLriDe420 do even know how remotely stupid that is??? Russia has never nuked a leaky oil well...If they did we wouldve known about it way before hand.
slushomatic 1 year ago
@slushomatic yea they have. they have nuked five wells and it worked 4/5 times. fuck head. we were going to do it but we are worried about the radiation. fuck shit.

@eLLriDe420 are you just that stupid? seriously? they have never done that. your a moron for believeng the non news.

are they using salt water?
and does anyone know if they detected any contaminants left in the water after oil is removed??

@chasemacherzak I will referr to one of my above posts get a freaking education man, instead of being indoctrinated by libral proffesors. sheesh the stupidity on youtube is incessent with the smell of ass hence the word asshats(n. of or becoming an inraged idiot that does not think before typing or speaking) or asshattery ( adj. of or becoming inraged with stupidity to the point of realeasing uncontrollable brain farts)

Wow, this is very interesting and a seemingly low cost way to put a dent in the problem as well as reinvent hay as a bumper crop for american farmers. /after the government spends a quardruplezillion dollars on the research, we may be able to use it as a solution next time

Let it never be said that the cast of Hee Haw never did anything scientific. =P
(Joking, of course. In all seriousness this is a fantastic idea, though Bill Nye didn't make the volume of hay necessary to clean this mess seem any more plausible than any other solution... it doth appear we all be fucked)
Truthiness231 1 year ago
so it looks like about 2 gallons of water there and 1/4 pound of hay. They would need over 1 billion pounds of hay. That's a far fetched order.

It's an interesting idea of using Hay, some people even have the crazy idea of using human hair. All I have to say about that with human hair, going to be a lot of bald people walking around if that happened. Ok back to this hay thing... It's an nice idea, however there are other ideas like Skimming Oil which was used before in the past. I kind of like the Kevin Costner idea that he has invested in a device that cleans the oil from water by 99 percent.
blacksteel25 1 year ago
considering they have spent 930 million already, im pretty sure they have checked all the simple options for feasibility, and covering the gulf of mexico with hay isnt likely to be feasible. but interesting vid non the less.
GauravA42 1 year ago
Heyall...I have a promising solution for removing oil from the Gulf's SALTWATER surface areas, I've been designed & used smaller versions for approx. 20 years. I can't seem to locate anyone (who has the authority to implement & can actually investigate my claims). The device will (retrieve) oil and release highly polished, oxygenated saltwater .They can be relocated & are economical. If you know where to submit the idea, please contact me. Thank you!

See my idea on my youtube page: drop a concrete "sewer room" pre-form to surround the area and to provide a chimney base using two cranes on tugs; follow that up with interlocking concrete pre-forms rising straight up. This is all highway drainage stuff that is easily attainable and already made.

Good job! To anyone out there--BP has a website where you can submit ideas. We need more facts and specs. What is the pressure of the oil spewing out? I've been trolling around, but haven't found much. God bless!

I don't see how it's obama's fault the oil company didn't have a safety valve for something like this that could obviously happen. I don't see what he could do
gstrike13 1 year ago
trik: It is not Obama's fault they did not have a safety valve. It is his fault that the Government has let BP do everything and not stepped in to help. "BP" stands for Barak's Problem. It took GWBush 4 days to fly to New Orleans. It Took Barak 12 days...and no one is beating him up over it like they did with Bush.
WeedaPeople 1 year ago
@WeedaPeople Um, no, BP stands for Beyond Petroleum. And how does a president visiting a disaster help anything?
The problem with the GWB-Katrina thing was that it took two weeks to help poor African American communities to get out of hell; the problem with the oil spill is there isn't any known way to stop the flow nor clean the mess up in a reasonable fashion... do you want him actually out there cleaning the mess up? Wouldn't people then be complaining about him not doing his actual job?
Truthiness231 1 year ago
uthi: The responibility was not Federal in New Orleans. It was not Bush's right to step in until asked by the state of Louisiana. (Look up states rights, natural disasters). Obama can step into the oil spill problem and take over the hole plugging effort and the clean up. He does not have to ask BP's permission to protect the coast lines of several states. As Carville said, time for BP to lawyer up, shut up, and write checks.

@WeedaPeople ?? So you really think big government is a better candidate to be taking over control of a private business? Are you trying to get ALL the conservatives to hate him? Last time I checked, both parties wants him out of the affairs of a business... XP (you really are nuts btw; the president is in control of sending federal aid to a disaster area, and nowhere do I see him having the powers you claim... /wiki/Powers_of_the_President_of_the_United_States#Emergency_Powers)
Truthiness231 1 year ago
@Truthiness231 Although to be completely fair, I did have the upperhand in this argument going in... I have the ability to read and think for myself (like, for example, I neither think Obama is a great president, nor do I think he's done anything bad either; currently he's done next to nothing to differentiate himself from someone who merely does the ambassador part of being a president (though, credit due, he is good at that bit)). Skeptical freethinkers FTW; rash idiots like "weedapeople" fail
Truthiness231 1 year ago
uthi: I love it when someone raises his hands in victory and claims himself the winner of a discussion prematurely....and then resorts to name calling. Are you now claiming the President has no authority to take over an envionmental disaster that will effect the shores of his country? (Emergency Powers)
