“I believe this means you cannot cap this well. If you do the oil will come up through the seafloor.”
Ooooo, this means that the ONLY option will be multiple relief wells and we’ll have to pump out the whole damn thing.
...sounds good to me - but then Obama would rather see the Gulf rot in hell (we are Republicans, after all), than to get one useful barrel out of that mess.
It does seem like that isn't a bad strategy. Just tell every oil company in the world that they can set up shop in that area. It would take time for them to set up, but a couple dozen rigs could probably decrease the current flow substantially.

Assuming the relief well drillers can overcome whatever the reasons were this became a cloister phrock in the first place.... and not just make more exploding/leaking holes.
