Oil Spill? Just Add Hay

Cleaning up the oil spill is presenting BP with quite a challenge. Florida resident Otis Goodson might have happened upon a relatively simple solution. Adding hay to a water-oil mix captures the oil and leaves the water clean. This idea is starting to gain traction, and criticism that this method could not be applied to the gulf oil leak is largely unfounded. It's almost too simple not to work. Let's hope that BP arrives at a workable solution soon.
