Why not set the oil aflame (so to speak)? What are the ethical issues of an extraction based economy and what might we in the Haynesville Shale learn from this BP exposure? This kind of post-colonial economy does not benefit the people of Louisiana as it should. What has been the investment of BP beyond the mandatory taxes (I am not certain how much they pay to Louisiana) and jobs?

most of the spill is a light sheen and is too thin to burn, it must be swept up in booms and then lit. Also, there is a lot of oil below the surface.

Just want to clarify--my critical post was not meant as a criticism of the oil and gas industry as a whole, but specifically (and as a layman) of British Petroleum.
