its all about $ that is why they did not cap the well and stop the flow, but instead tried to put an extension piece over the well to keep bringing the oil to the surface where they can load it onto tankers and sell it.

That would have been the best method had it worked. Sealing it cuts off that source which is apparently much bigger than previously thought because BP nor anyone else will be permitted to go get that oil in the future. The wonderfulness of the BP accident is in its capacity to generate a shutdown of all deep water, maybe all shallow water, and possibly most land oil extraction in the U.S. The thought of $15 gasoline surely makes a Leftist hear go pit-a-pat in a big way.

This will probably provide the rationale for ending America's nuclear power efforts and existing plants, also. After all, if mere oil can be so disastrous, a nuclear accident would be far worse.

You are an idiot.

The well is damaged and there is not have the technology to stop it without a relief well. The administration was irresponsible when they agreed with your statement about $. Failure to approve the current solution first cost at least 10 million gallons extra to spilled.

The dispersant, as I understand it, makes skimming more difficult. Once the oil goes deeper, it can’t be skimmed. And skimming probably does a better job of cleaning the water. Not to mention, they were slow to skim. The dispersant was very profitable for CCX [and Obama’s cronies].

Another thing to consider was Goldman Sachs and the BP CEO dumping stocks before the spill happened.
