Did they have to do an impact study before they decided to clean it up?
It looks like a quarter pound of hay for about a cup of oil so for arguments sake say equal weight and many more times the volume. At 8 cents a pound for hay and millions of gallons of oil (30 million gallons of oil last time I checked) you are looking at many millions of dollars just for the hay then the trucks and equipment to get it there, the trucks to take it away then what you are going to do with it afterward.
Although I don't think this would make a 100% effective solution as it appears you need equal weight of hay to oil (at 40k+ barrels of oil a day that is a lot of hay and with currents and what not it might just make a royal mess. However it is still a better than nothing (or putting more toxins in the water like BP did with their proprietary corexit dispersant) and could be part of a multi faceted approach. I still think they need to find ideas on how to get the pipe to stop spilling first.

I've sent tons of emails to my congressman and senators and haven't heard nothing yet. i doubt our government would implement this solution because it makes too much sense!
This is too simple and cheap for "our government officials" to consider. How simple a solution!!! I think EVERYONE SHOULD CONTACT OUR CONGRESS PEOPLE AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT WE THINK!!!!!!!
Visit OilHay com for detailed information on the type of equipment and processes used to applicate hay and straw to large areas of land and water. E-mail at OILHAYat Livecom for hay and straw purchases and application.
Have a look at OILHAY. com these guys are capable of spreading millions of pounds of hay over the top of the affected areas which could be very helpful in cleanup efforts.
Just as long as its free of fertilizer though... Nitrogen in the fertilizer has already caused some areas of the ocean with scant amounts or even no oxygen. This mean organic hay would be needed which is not in huge abundance. ...and that's when bad news becomes worse. There is no organic hay to be had. Supply cannot meet today's demand. Its simply tapped out.
A couple of days ago, I read about a Non Toxic oil absorbent that can be used at sea! Search on You Tube for, AMAZING BLACK D OIL SPILL. The results really were amazing! Apparently, this guy can't get through to the right people to show it to them. Protects wildlife and shorelines, doesn't stick to rocks or sand ...
To easy to simple you got to understand the Federal Governments involved its all about talk how much you need them and laws - do you think they even want to try something practical if it won't help them
Also, i would like to mention that if we are using increased agriculture resources to clean up oil spills that the cost of food will increase, in particular, beef.
Well, the surface oil you can do that with, but what will they do with the oil that is still under the ocean surface? Hay and Hair is only part of the answer, it will not pick up all the oil. There has never been an oil spill or leak that far under the ocean. This is the first time the world has seen this type of oil spill.
This is nothing new.Hay has been used in small contained oil spill areas for over 30+yrs..In big areas where current,waves and wind is involved it doesn't work.Thats where oil booms come into play.
Oil sheen is flat on the water surface and not AS affected by the wind. The hay will be heavy and pertrude above the surface. With any South wind the oil soaked hay will blow in MUCH faster than it can be collected and be stuck in every nook and cranny on the gulf coast. Not to mention, floating masses attract sea life. Fish will seek refuge under this mess and die. Plus it will double the cleanup. .
I think this is brilliant" So what do you do with the soiled hay?? Make asphalt with it,,america needs new roads, this will produce a ton of work/jobs..who pays for it.....BP that's who...see congress that wasn't hard........
See both my YouTube page and my personal websites for front page news of this -it also went out via Facebook. --I give you credit for your part. (I am afraid to post the actual links, as I think it sometimes keeps it from posting, but, hey, my home pages are simply my full name dot come -one with my middle name and one without -2 mirrors in case like you know --one has a flat?)
I don't thikn there is enough hay to do the job,and even if there were,livestock depends on that hay,u can't break 1 part to fix another,at 1st it sounds like a good plan but I just don't think so..
thats temporary solution is to throw hay at it , it not going to fix the bigger problem down where the rupture has occured , it would take the whole of 10 years worth of hay to absorb the amount of oil flowing from there , not to sound pessimistic but it's a cure for the symtom not the problem , the amount of oil there is down there is a lot more then the hay could handly ,
@jmm1233 no no no hay for the " Clean-up" the problem with the high pressure leak is another issue all together.. i think it should be plugged also using a metal plug inserted into the end were the flange is and tighten down with heavy all thread rod and large riser clamp.. very common practice in the pipefitting world...
It looks like a simple solution at first, but it's not. At best, this could work along the shore line, but possibly not even there. Here is why: as the oil spews out 5000 ft below, it is carried by UNDERWATER currents killing everything in its path. Drop the hay on the ocean surface, and it will simply float away, via the top-most current. The ocean is NOT a still body of water, like these bowls - so, you would need a huge mixing mechanism to the ' stir the pot' so to speak>>>
CONTINUED>>> and even, if such huge stirring mechanism existed, it would dramatically change the oxygen level below the surface, killing off many species just the same. Even if the hay was deposited onshore to 'soak up the oil" it doesn't take the tide action into consideration, which would immediately carry the hay back out to sea, floating on the waves. Remember, that hay is much lighter than water, so it floats, while the oil travels underneath. Oceans aren't water bowls, they are HUGE.
@paddedshell yeah, I'm sorry to burst the "'do something, do ANYTHING" bubble. I know, people want to do something to help...but this is not the solution. It involves nothing more than a basic understanding of physics + just a rudimentary understanding of how oceans 'work'. And I would bet, that most serious oceanographers would shake their heads in despair :(
@55ella2007k Except that the oil will eventually all rise up to the top. It is lighter than water, it isn't going to sink. Ever carried by underwater currents it will then go upwards at a bell curve within a certain distance of each leakage point. Hay might be somewhat feasible as a last ditch attempt to prevent it from reaching or floating to specific areas.
@MikeT19 : True... but that's truly a last ditch effort at that point. Meanwhile, the entire ecosystem below the water's surface is being destroyed as we speak. Oil per se, will not always rise to the top, it depends on its consistency. It's not a monolithic substance and composed of many elements. Heavy crude will sink, while lighter crude will float to the top.
For such a natural and simple solution like this, oil spill clean up companies can't sell it and you cant patent it. When Money/Capitalism becomes the sole motive for scientific firms and companies, such natural and easy solutions are easily overlooked.
poor thing you are sick alot :( pls take care of yourself & feel better soon.
great idea...the only setback i can see is they are going to need massive amounts of hay and i'm wondering if the disposal of the oil soaked hay would prevent a problem...but it can't be any worse than the oil itself!
This seems like a brilliant idea! Of course you'd have to pick it up again, but man.. It's simple, cheap, and.. From what i gather it's by far the best idea out there.
