so here is my problem with this idea (not that i am opposed to new ideas)
1. this oil is toxic. we don't need untrained people not in hazmat gear handling it (yes i understand we are all going to be exposed) but this would just lead to more lawsuits
2. BP is already not paying claims (i saw a fisherman say bp has only paid him $2500 of his $75k claim and bp is telling him they will only pay his lost profits, not his lost revunes)
3. bp is already going to go broke/chap 11/ default/whatever the correct term is etc from this... they are not going to be able to pay everyone
4. it took 20+ years for exxon to start to pay out
