Gulf Oil Spill-Bioremediation Solution Restores Environment in Just Six Weeks

A dire report prepared for President Medvedev by Russia's Ministry of Natural Resources is warning today that the British Petroleum (BP) oil and gas leak in the Gulf of Mexico is about to become the worst environmental catastrophe in all of human history threatening the entire eastern half of the North American continent with "total destruction".
Russian scientists are basing their apocalyptic destruction assessment due to BP's use of millions of gallons of the chemical dispersal agent known as Corexit 9500 which is being pumped directly into the leak of this wellhead over a mile under the Gulf of Mexico waters and designed, this report says, to keep hidden from the American public the full, and tragic, extent of this leak that is now estimated to be over 2.9 million gallons a day.
The dispersal agent Corexit 9500 is a solvent originally developed by Exxon and now manufactured by the Nalco Holding Company of Naperville, Illinois that is four times more toxic than oil (oil is toxic at 11 ppm (parts per million), Corexit 9500 at only 2.61ppm).  In a report written by Anita George-Ares and James R. Clark for Exxon Biomedical Sciences, Inc. titled "Acute Aquatic Toxicity of Three Corexit Products: An Overview" Corexit 9500 was found to be one of the most toxic dispersal agents ever developed. Even worse, according to this report, with higher water temperatures, like those now occurring in the Gulf of Mexico, its toxicity grows.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in discovering BP's use of this dangerous dispersal agent ordered BP to stop using it, but BP refused stating that their only alternative to Corexit 9500 was an even more dangerous dispersal agent known as Sea Brat 4.

This gives BP and the government NO EXCUSES, follow the money, is their a bounty on BP executives?

Since over ten years I have experience with a commercial available Set of micro-organism, EM. They do that job.

Yep, google Anita George-Ares.

@dethwryder no problem (if it really is the microbes that are depleting the O2) the ocean will reoxygenate a lot faster then it will ridding itself of the oil and if the ocean is being depleted, the the shrimp would actutally die as well. so i submit that the idea that microbes are depleting the waters of O2 is either a lie or it is due to the oil and gases. i think that the fish are dieing due to toxic gases saturating the water, refer back to your biochemistry, organic chemistry class.

And why would they be botching this up as in "holding a string up to repel a hurricane?" The spill was planned by Prince Charles ever since Lord Christopher Monckton thwarted the Queen from receiving her Cap-N-Trade last September...

They do not care... Money, money, money... $30B is chump change compared to taxing the air you breathe...

Microbes are already at work. The bugs have already been let loose. This is why the area is becoming oxygen depleted. They need the oxygen to digest the hydrocarbons.

They dont want to stop it face the facts they want to collect it. or this would have been started already.

first off that what was shown is sitting oil. we have a rushing amount of oils flowing at millions of gallons a day

[goldeneyesoldier]

I could be mistaken but i think when there were oil spills here in trinidad the local authorities used microbes to clean the oil. If here they can do this I see no problem with the effects of the spill being reduced with this method.

This disaster allows for more Moneys to be created by the Central Banks in order for the clean up and the Corporate Bailouts coming..a win win situation for some.
