Good video!HAY! The Gulf Oil Spill Solution
HELP spread this, feel free to mirror…..news clip can be found on oceans site (VitaVeritasVictoria) to snag: mmm.youtube.com Walton Co. readies beaches for oil Updated: Friday, 07 May 2010, 9:36 AM CDT Published : Friday, 07 May 2010, 9:36 AM CDT SANTA ROSA BEACH, Florida (WALA) – The Walton County Sheriff’s Office has developed a definitive plan to contain and absorb oil before it affects the county’s 26 miles of coastline. Sheriff Michael A. Adkinson, Jr. addressed the Board of Walton County Commissioners Thursday. The Sheriffs Office has been working with locally based contractor CW Roberts in developing this plan. The Board unanimously approved a motion to set aside up to .5 million from its reserve fund to help the sheriff’s office protect the beaches. Walton County has bought hundreds of hay bales. They will be deployed as the first line of defense to protect the beaches from the giant oil slick. The plan is to scatter the hay on the water. Once it comes in contact with the oil, the hay will clump together, almost like seaweed. Then workers can pick up the oil, right along with the hay. Hay is native to the area and is a green product, which is safe to the environment. Sheriff Adkinson stressed that the protection of the county’s unique coastal dune lake system is essential. Sheriff’s personnel, along with county public workers, began putting out booms to prevent the Gulf Waters from entering the Dune Lakes. Additional material will also be put out if necessary …

first, Obama Would have had to send a research team down to the Gulf. When Bobby Jindal wanted to build a SAND bar off the coast to keep the oil from coming ashore, they said he couldn’t because they weren’t sure of the impact it would have on the environment, IT WAS SAND FROM THE OCEAN. Did they have to do an impact study before they decided to clean it up?
mushrooms eat oil and hay.
It looks like a quarter pound of hay for about a cup of oil so for arguments sake say equal weight and many more times the volume. At 8 cents a pound for hay and millions of gallons of oil (30 million gallons of oil last time I checked) you are looking at many millions of dollars just for the hay then the trucks and equipment to get it there, the trucks to take it away then what you are going to do with it afterward.
Although I don’t think this would make a 100% effective solution as it appears you need equal weight of hay to oil (at 40k+ barrels of oil a day that is a lot of hay and with currents and what not it might just make a royal mess. However it is still a better than nothing (or putting more toxins in the water like BP did with their proprietary corexit dispersant) and could be part of a multi faceted approach. I still think they need to find ideas on how to get the pipe to stop spilling first.
Do genetically modifieds food work?
Throw them all in the Gulf to suck up the oil.
THE GREAT GULF CHALLENGE – Unleash power of American enterprise and ingenuity to turn back the black tide of oil fouled beaches and tortured sea life. In spirit of The Great Race, The Millennium Challenge and The Grainger Challenge, America should sponsor The Great Gulf Challenge, an international competition to clean the crude oil out of the Gulf of Mexico. Winning team gets satisfaction for helping save a vital ecosystem, will be positioned as the world’s leader in oil recovery technology.
nice work you will put hay in ocean
B.P. playing hide and go seek from your comments, they are also hiding something, find out the secret of what is really going on & why b.p. don’t want to clean this up, send a message to Tony Hayward, let your voice be heard,
We will send your comments and videos to B.P, also spread them worldwide, We will bring to light, what b.p. wishes to keep in the dark. And we, unlike B.P. won’t hide anything!!! go to our video entitled a message for tony hayward read the description. G.B.P.
I’ve sent tons of emails to my congressman and senators and haven’t heard nothing yet. i doubt our government would implement this solution because it makes too much sense!
Is that salt or fresh water
This is too simple and cheap for “our government officials” to consider. How simple a solution!!! I think EVERYONE SHOULD CONTACT OUR CONGRESS PEOPLE AND LET THEM KNOW WHAT WE THINK!!!!!!!

Visit OilHay com for detailed information on the type of equipment and processes used to applicate hay and straw to large areas of land and water. E-mail at OILHAYat Livecom for hay and straw purchases and application.
This is amazing!!!!
Have a look at OILHAY. com these guys are capable of spreading millions of pounds of hay over the top of the affected areas which could be very helpful in cleanup efforts.
Just as long as its free of fertilizer though… Nitrogen in the fertilizer has already caused some areas of the ocean with scant amounts or even no oxygen. This mean organic hay would be needed which is not in huge abundance. …and that’s when bad news becomes worse. There is no organic hay to be had. Supply cannot meet today’s demand. Its simply tapped out.

A couple of days ago, I read about a Non Toxic oil absorbent that can be used at sea! Search on You Tube for, AMAZING BLACK D OIL SPILL. The results really were amazing! Apparently, this guy can’t get through to the right people to show it to them. Protects wildlife and shorelines, doesn’t stick to rocks or sand …
To easy to simple you got to understand the Federal Governments involved its all about talk how much you need them and laws – do you think they even want to try something practical if it won’t help them
Thanks anyway
Wake up America your under siege
Also, i would like to mention that if we are using increased agriculture resources to clean up oil spills that the cost of food will increase, in particular, beef.
Well, the surface oil you can do that with, but what will they do with the oil that is still under the ocean surface? Hay and Hair is only part of the answer, it will not pick up all the oil. There has never been an oil spill or leak that far under the ocean. This is the first time the world has seen this type of oil spill.
This is nothing new.Hay has been used in small contained oil spill areas for over 30+yrs..In big areas where current,waves and wind is involved it doesn’t work.Thats where oil booms come into play.
@jmm1233 no no no hay for the ” Clean-up” the problem with the high pressure leak is another issue all together.. i think it should be plugged also using a metal plug inserted into the end were the flange is and tighten down with heavy all thread rod and large riser clamp.. very common practice in the pipefitting world…
@hcoptertx and chemicals will? just more problems to add to this mess…very negative,, use the hay it will help…
