If BP, against the EPA's rules, uses an oil dispersant which is highly toxic, what good is it, if it still kills wildlife? Worse, according to the chemical's MSDS, "component substances have a potential to bioconcentrate." The chemicals will be with us for a while; sit back, have a cup of coffee and enjoy the exposure while you can.
Oh, and when you do read through that MSDS, you should note that they only tested two species for toxicity for 48 hours. You can imagine how the EPA must feel, weeks of exposure, what they think of the risk of BP's current solution.

On a separate note, it looks like oil and gas companies along with commercial banks, have decided to line the pockets of Republicans in 2010, to regain their status quo of deregulated markets.
