Close to 75 percent of all the oil released into the Gulf of Mexico has evaporated, burned off, eaten by microbes or captured, according to White House energy adviser Carol Browner.
Browner said in a TV interview, "Our scientists and external scientists believe that the vast majority of the oil has now been contained. And so, I think we're turning a corner here."
Once BP stopped the oil from being released into the Gulf with their last containment cap, many were surprised at how quickly the Gulf healed itself through evaporation and microbes eating the oil, and evidently, even the dispersant used by BP to break up the oil.
Some inspecting other areas of the Gulf region for damage have suggested it would be better, for the most part, to allow the other areas to heal themselves as well, rather than have the government assign projects to BP which may not do near as good as nature itself.
