Great Ideas to Stop the BP Oil Leak from Real Americans - VARIOUS VIDEOS

AUTO CENTRAL - June 30, 2010: In early May we presented a story and video that demonstrated how ordinary hay could be used to safely soak up the oil being poured into the Gulf of Mexico. We haven't heard much about this idea since that time. And as today's EPA press conference clearly showed, the government is too busy working on ideas - like chemical dispersants - that are ineffective and possibly harmful to marine life. The funny thing is that the chemical dispersants are probably owned by the oil companies... wouldn't that be ironic.

Anyway, we still think the hay idea is good but we went looking for others, particularly if theu are conceived by normal Americans who actually care. Here's what we came up with (not all are as good as the "hay concept"). Enjoy.
