for everyone still holding their breath over what troy aikman's and drew bledsoe's take on a solution is:

Quote :

"Unlike Kevin Costner's centrifuges, Ecosphere's "Ozonix" machines use "ultrasonic transducers and acoustic cavitation to create millions of microbubbles that rapidly transport the oil to the water’s surface in a focused containment zone for non-chemical separation.""

"he process would involve "millions of nano bubbles" raising oil to the surface -- potentially preventing those massive underwater plumes from forming."

Nanowhat?

Right...I would LOVE to see them use ultrasonic cavitation on such a huge scale and long time frame. Machines would be down all the time.

Quote :

"Transocean Ltd., the company that owned the rig that exploded last year in the Gulf of Mexico — killing 11 workers and causing a massive oil spill that took months to contain — says in a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that: "Notwithstanding the tragic loss of life in the Gulf of Mexico, we achieved an exemplary statistical safety record as measured by our total recordable incident rate ('TRIR') and total potential severity rate ('TPSR'). As measured by these standards, we recorded the best year in safety performance in our Company's history, which is a reflection on our commitment to achieving an incident free environment, all the time, everywhere." Now, in a statement to CNN, the company says "we acknowledge that some of the wording in our 2010 proxy statement may have been insensitive in light of the incident that claimed the lives of eleven exceptional men last year and we deeply regret any pain that it may have caused." The SEC filing also shows the pay raises going to Transocean executives, including a $200,000 salary increase for President/CEO Steven Newman. "

do PR people not proofread these things?

They mostly just don't give a fuck because no one with enough power is going to stop them.
