“It's got to be terribly, terribly frustrating. As I took a look at it, my daughter actually was taking a biology class and she did a paper on the whole oil spill and some of the different technologies for mitigating all this really raunchy oil that's floating around. One of the things is there's a company that has in barrels a powder-like yeast--these little critters that will eat that oil. When the critters eat the oil, when they get done eating it, if there's no more oil, they just die because there's no more food and other creatures can eat them, and the whole thing just cleans up the mess biologically, naturally. Now, I don't know whether that's a great solution or not, but it sure seems to make a lot of sense. And then you've got other people in the Midwest areas, we've got plenty of straw and hay. And there's even these YouTubes and people are saying, Here's one way to fix it. Put a bunch of straw and stuff in this water. All of this very sticky oil clings to the straw, you bring it in, pile it up, and burn it in an incinerator or whatever. But Americans have ideas how to do this, and our government is standing around saying, You can't do it. No, we don't like that idea either. In the meantime, the oil is piling up on the shores, and we're just asking for some legitimate government.”
