The Coast Guard has set up a website for submission of ideas for cleaning up the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.  go to www.FBO.gov for more information.  The website isn't very user friendly, but if you read carefully, in the middle of the page is a link for gulf oil spill ideas in blue (different from the rest of the page).  I will post another blog later with more definitive information as I find it.  There is also a link for the spot on this site on my homepage.  If you have an idea, share it, as we don't know how this whole situation will ultimately play out.  For more information and comments, you can find me on www.Trulia.com/profile/myketriebold/
