>>>It can shut ALL gas and oil rigs down in the gulf, because they need clean water<<< Simmons mentioned the possibility that refineries along the Gulf coast might have to shut down for the same reason - lack of water. Regardless of whether one buys into Simmons ten sigma talk, one has to figure that the current spill rate will continue for another couple of months - about 2X the current spill. That volume of oil will have far reaching and unanticipated effects. It is another example of the difficulties of using dispersants. If for example my power plant needed cooling water, and the inlet was fouled at the surface, I might be able to run a line out another 50 yards far below the surface. But if the oil is dispersed/suspended, then I have a problem. How many chemical processing plants along the GOM use water?? All of them I would expect. How about ships? Certainly all manner of pleasure water craft in their engine cooling systems. No outboard engines on the GOM for a few years!?!?!?!
