i made a invention that may work and Make BP money to pay back to the Fisheries

Probably is impossible, if there was any way bp could get the oil back and sell it, i guarantee you they would've figured it out already.

It already exists :P Finnish specialists have already traveled to USA to help the production get started. Problem is I think theres not enough of it yet.

tee hee - good idea though.

several years ago there was a spill in the Persian Gulf.  The size of the spill was fairly large, but the news was kept hush hush so there isn't much data made public.  At the time, the conventional wisdom was to surround the spill with super tankers, have them pump water/oil up into their tanks, scrub the water, store the oil & pump the clean water back into the sea. Super tankers have all the technology to do this already on board - this just kept the gulf & the shores of all the countries on the gulf as clean as possible while allowing the leak to be fixed & while maintaining a revenue stream (with reduced profit margins) from the well. All in all a pretty savvy way to contain the disaster.

There are ways to handle this kind of problem - but we are not seeing this kind of effort.  Instead, we are seeing engineers scramble with erector set engineering fixes while the world just shakes its head at the unmistakable engineering shortcomings of deep water drilling.

But umm.. what i think we should do is put a hummer engine in the water and put it at full speed, it'll burn through the oil in NO time. :D

So hows the oil spill doing? Did the US get paid or something?

lol, the situation is so bad that the traces of oil have reached the shores of North Carolina

BP stands for British Petroleum. Hardurdurdur!

I am not american, I am someone who cares of what happens around the world

Push explosives down into the depths of the well head and cause an implosion to bury it shut under a couple of tons from above and around it,
... bomb the surface oil to blazes too, burn it all up

Might kill a lot of nature in the surrounds but at least that stems the flow and keeps it localized - a bit late in the day but it still a possible solution if those greedy buggers are prepared to wait till they drill another well head

Mr. Heroix, are you seriously talking about third-world catastrophies. Dude, im from chile we just had the worst earthquake in quite a few years, yeah we are not third-world but dont start throwing ideas around without fact.  Attacking my judgement and what I care about shows how ignorant and close-minded you are. Having said that I won't waste any more of my time with people who think others are as selfish and self-centered as they are

Because it's not a SPILL. It's a pipeline constantly leaking into the gulf. A spill would have been cleaned by now. 

sell smaller parts of the gelationous cube on ebay when it thaws.
