Nano-Dispersant Safe and Best To Use on BP Gulf Oil Spill Says Green Earth Technologies CEO
Abstract:
In a letter to shareholders responding to warnings concerning the use of nanotechnology in the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, Green Earth Technologies Chairman & CEO Jeff Marshall writes, "It has come to our attention that a group of scientists have written a letter to the EPA discouraging the use of Green Earth Technologies' G-Marine Fuel Spill Clean-Up as a dispersant in the Gulf of Mexico. The letter claims that a nano-dispersant will be harmful to the environment, a false claim that I would like to address with all of you."
