They are placing a chemical dispersant directly on the leaks 5,000 feet deep.
They are spraying dispersants from the air.
The surface slick is being minimized.
Oil and water don't mix. But if you put soap into the mix it mixes quite easily. What they are doing is putting soap in the water and the oil is not floating anymore. It is being mixed into the Gulf waters.
Out of sight, out of mind, they hope.
The shore life may yet be saved.
But now we have a very large amount of deadly toxic waters just sitting there.
