There are different points along the Gulfstream path at which natural oil dispursive substances can be added to water to dissolve the oil globules. Mr. Al Gore may have researched those key locations which are sensitive to imput or be able to refer.

But I really find it offensive to be underestimated. We are not fools, these environmental laws they pass are just give- a-ways to the fossil fuel industry.
