It's a clever idea, but the reason no one else does it on a scale like his is because even at 6 million gallons of water cleaned per day, it's a drop in the proverbial bucket and nothing really more then a PR move by BP. ~643 quadrillion gallons of water in the gulf, 6 million gallons cleaned per day, 293 million years to clean them all not too shabby.

Now I realize not all the water is contaminated. Lets say just 1% of the gulf water is contaminated. Only 2.93 million years now. Even if it's just %0.00001 is contaiminated thats 293 years.

I guess by deploying them in a couple ecologically sensitive areas they might do some good but the idea these will clean up the oil is a little absurd to me.
