MICROBES CAN SAVE THE GULF!!! | |

That said, it is WAY better than the nothing else we have to try and fix this with right now when the oil is suspended in deep water. |

The amount of CO2 release would be enough to fuel a MASSIVE algae bloom. The algae blooms would pump toxins into the water. Enough so it may be more lethal to the critters in the sea versus the oil itself. In fact, some algae blooms glow when the waves crest and crash. It would be a god like natural scene of glowing wave tips. I seen it once in my life and it is very pretty. But deadly from toxins they release. Honestly, using Microbes would be a very bad idea in the long run. It would only swap a lesser problem with a larger problem. And anything worse then the oil spill is just unthinkable. Pray BP doesn't use microbe oil eaters. |
