A month ago, the offshore platform Deepwater Horizon exploded leading to one of the most horrible environmental disasters ever, with no end in sight. Years ago, a guy named Werner Kroh invented a powder called GEES-61 which sounds quite useful for these days: The idea is for the powder to merge with oil, to sink to the ground and then to disappear. No clue how that works, but apparently it did in previous experiments, as detailed in the above link. Does the White House know about? Or BP?
Let’s let em know! And get rid of all of this oil, which is rumored to equal the spill of Exxon Valdez every five days – no number for the faint-hearted. And there are still approx. 7 billion liters left to leak, which could – in the worst case scenario if that’s even possible – continue to release oil until April 2013, maybe 2014.
