Down to the River
On Thursday, July 24th, the headline was “Oil Spill Shuts Down 80 Miles of River”. I wasn’t able to make it down to the river that week, and I went on vacation during the first week of August. I went down to the river today to watch the cleansing process. According to the paper, they have emptied the barge and they are raising it from the riverbed.
It is a sobering thing to watch. What happened to those oil-eating microbes that science magazines promised us? What I saw today looked like boats with dust mops. The technology to separate oil from water does not appear to have changed at all.
