Scientists Create Giant Fire Tornadoes That Could Save Our Oceans

Scientists created 17-foot fire whirls that burn oil spills faster and cleaner than conventional methods, reducing soot by 40% and consuming nearly all the fuel. The technique shows promise for rapid, lower-emission spill response. In the critical hours after an offshore oil spill, response teams must make a difficult choice: allow the slick to spread [...]
