1. Some of the ROV CAM screens read "dispersant ops"...
So, I'm thinking dispersants.

I hope they're the good kind, not the bad.

4. There are NO good dispersants
any dispersant, even if it's non toxic does not help clean-up. It makes the oil sink so it can't be skimmed from the surface. It hides the oil is all that it does. That's why BP is using it.

5. Thanks, I was just Googling dispersants and skimming...
wondering if dispersed oil could be picked up as easily by the Dutch 'sweeping arms' ..

6. The secret ingredient to make invisible undersea oil plumes aka death on the move
The damage they are doing by trying to hide the oil might end up to be the worst part of the whole deal. Everyday they are allowed to keep this bullshit up is another day I'm a mushroom cloud leveling motherfucker.

I continue to be appalled and dismayed that this is allowed to go on like this. The government is pretty much as culpable as BP at this point on this issue, they can and should stop the dispersant at gun point if need be and confiscate it. What part of the EPA says no isn't getting through? What part of the disturbing observations about the results of this isn't getting through????
