So it would seem that the geniuses behind the so-called "Magic Oil Eating Microbe" need to go back to the drawing board because the stuff ain't working!
In a statement from University of Georgia Professor Samantha Joyce she claims that,
"Magic microbes consumed maybe 10 percent of the total discharge, the rest of it we don't know," Joye said, later adding: "there's a lot of it out there."
This is an absolute disaster for the Gulf Coast and a continuing PR nighmare for British...oops I mean 'Beyond Petrolium'.
The bad news just doesn't seem to end for the Gulf Coast, check out the impact of industrial fertilizer run-off and the ecological deadzone it has created
