AbTech Industries has had a "smart sponge" technology developed for some time now and much to the disappointment of the company, it is not being used for what it was developed for - oil spill clean up!
The man in the video demonstration has been trying to get this sponge to be used to clean up the BP mess but because they outsource cleanup efforts - BP does not want to deal with him, and neither does the clean up companies. Why? I've no clue and no one else does.
Considering the scope of this mess, why isn't this guy going directly to the president with this? I mean the time is ripe. Obama made a speech regarding this the other day and frankly, I agree with him.

Years ago I saw an educational program showing a different technology for cleaning up Oil spills. They were showing how the same stuff used to make chewing gum can be used to soak up oil in the water and be vacuumed up and the spill cleaned up in HOURS vs months.
It's a damn shame no one is taking more of an initiative in these things. It would certainly make drilling for oil so much less distasteful when you can leave virtually no mess behind implementing such products in your operations.
