I have a question regarding the proposed use of supertankers to scoop up the oil (http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politics/gulf-oil-spill-supertankers-051310). The Esquire has been very vocal about this since early May, here being the latest post: http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politics/john-hofmeister-saudi-arabia-oil-s... Is this just a pipe-dream or are people actually ignoring a feasible method of containing the problem? Or is Esquire over-hyping?
