That's not a lady. <Similarly, I have not attended booming school, so I would love to know if this lady's insights* into the simplicity of the booming process is actually a fair representation.* > Also, with a foul mouth and mind like hers and with such generalized anger, there's no way she works for BP. The reason the water isn't cloudy around the web cam is that the oil stays in nice globs because water and oil are not miscible and oil is less dense than sea water so it floats upwards. The methane floats rapidly and buoys the oil getting a good upward flow in the vicinity. Where the plumes are flowing, it will be very murky. The point of dispersants is to make them miscible. With little droplets, they take a lot longer to float upwards, hence the plumes of submarine oil heading for the Gulf Stream and subduction to the bottom of the ocean in the Arctic. The plumes will be eaten by various bugs and form part of the food chain. My guess is that the well will be stopped tomorrow and the hysteria will abate and the problems will turn out to be not such a big deal after all. The end of the world will not have occurred. The opportunities for profit will be vigorously pursued long after any oil remains. There's loot to be had and the avaricious will be after gobs of it. The swamps will recover very rapidly. Pelicans will bread like rabbits and be fine. How many million pelicans died anyway so far? Okay, maybe not millions, but there must have been thousands, or at least hundreds. I don't mean of old age and other normal causes - of which there must be many each day so we'd need to check the cause of death. I wouldn't put it past Greenies to find dead pelicans and give them a dunking in oil to make good effect. Mqurice
