A risky procedure...

Is AP telling us things are getting worse?

That was one of the BP alternative fuels commercials that stuck in my head.

It's really time to say a little prayer folks...Hurricanes will be lining up soon. 11 people have died. Thousands are out of work and critters are in harms' way.

So far Gulf Shores is OK. Best beaches in the world! Be sure to visit LuLu’s for some awesome seafood (fresh, I hope)

I hate to sound ignint, but I was wondering about a couple of methods to at least slow the leaks:

1) Freeze the damn pipe, and I know it probably wont stop the flow, but maybe, just maybe it’d slow it.

2) Instead of pumping mud into the damn blowout preventer, start pumping seawater into the blowout preventer, with as much pressure as the system can stand, and perhaps you would dilute the output of the pipe that is leaking with a seawater/oil mix?

Anyone think either of these methods would work?

Accounts have upwards of 80 BILLION barrels of oil under great pressure. This could go on for a VERY long time!

“I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and GOOD JOBS TO THE JOBLESS; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our PLANET BEGAN TO HEAL; this was the moment when we ENDED A WAR and SECURED OUR NATION and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth. This was the moment — this was the time — when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves, and our highest ideals. Thank you, God Bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.”

I already posted my solution in previous threads so I won’t bore you with the details just use your imagination.

1) Phase 1: Inject screen mesh.

2) Phase 2: Inject Sham Wow cloths of different sizes

(Pressure should be somewhat reduced & clogging after layering into the holes and being reinforced by the screen mesh)

3) Phase 3: Inject top kill mixed with human and horse hair.

T. Boone Pickens said in the end a relief well would be the answer but it would take them awhile to get to admitting it.

Looks like the relief well is going to be the answer, though this will take at least a month to do.

This is exactly what happens when a bribe taking Chicago pol is mated with a communist street agitator who knows nothing about anything other than, "pay to play" and "go along to get along."

When all the drillling permits for this well were granrted, BP, the dirtiest, most reckless of the large oil companies, was on probation from a felony conviction based on recklessness that killed 15 people in the 2005 explosion of its Texas City, TX refinery and from a misdemeanor conviction based on an Alaskan oil spill. It got a greenwash by contributing more to the 2008 Obama campaign than it contributed to any other campaign. Then there was a sudden miracle; it was deemed the world's most responsible corporate good citizen and Obama give it carte blanche to drill this well.

SURPRISE!! The same kind of thing happened that would happen if a local prosecutor was bribed to release a convicted child rapist and allow him to run a child day care center unsupervised. We're now going to have as much economic damage to the Gulf coast as if the old Soviet Union had dropped an atom bomb on New Orleans.

IMPEACH OBAMA FOR BRIBERY.

Time to call the White House and ask, “Daddy, did you plugged the leak yet?”
