Luckily oil and water don't mix. They're like... wait, wait, there's some kind of analogy here...
Except as an emulsion...
So we add a bunch of oregano and call it the great gulf salad dressing?
is that what this dispersant they're using does? I think I heard its keeping from surfacing, which I think is what happens when oil and water don't mix.
So I've been wondering ... given that, why doesn't someone tootle around with a flamethrower on a boat and burn off the oil slick?
They are doing that for some of it.
I was wondering if someone had a great way to suck up the oil and separate it from the water, would you have to give the oil back to BP or could you keep it?
