Title: How are BP cleaning up the oil spill?
Post by: tangoblue on 20/07/2010 03:25:18

How are BP clearing up the oil?
there are probably millions of barrels of oil in the sea now, is it even possible to clean it up?

i heard that there is so much oil in the atmoshpere. it actually rains oil in some parts of america but i doubt thats true.

nope...no rain of oil in the US.

JimBob would be the one to answer this, but I would imagine that the cleanup will only reclaim a fraction of the spilled oil.
