I kinda hate to say it, but isn't it a bit late to try and push a new technique to mass production? This is the type of thing that should have been done last year. I'm sure this is a good technique, and it might just be the best method for cleaning up the oil that is present in the water. However, it's one thing to do this in the lab or in a small scale. It's a whole other issue to do this at the scale of the Gulf. That being said: I'm pretty sure his funding chances have increased. Perhaps the oil companies will start (or be forced into) spending more of their money funding this type of work now.
