Any clue as to why bioremediation is not being mentioned at this point? It's a fairly ubiquitous approach.
I read about this stuff (and most news) on a daily basis and haven't heard even a peep about bioremediation. I actually haven't seen much of anything done.
I suspect that it is because to successfully discuss bioremediation as an approach, you would first have to acknowledge/disclose the amount of marshland affected by the leak. My suspicion is that BP is all about practicing damage control at this point, as opposed to focusing on solutions.
Regardless of BP taking the lead (because supposedly the Feds have been in charge since day one anyway
) any clue as to why the gov't hasn't mobilized more individuals into this region under the direction of the Army Corps of Engineers for preventative and/or remediation efforts?
Just curious as to what your take is on the response (or lack thereof), Rick.
This is one of the largest ecological disasters of our time, right?
