I can say this with no negative connotations...BP SUCKS!!
Washington was willing to p*ss money away on cash for clunkers and wads for washing machines, but this? Nothing.
Good news for now but I’m afraid we are still going to lose may of the estuaries along the Gulf Coast.
And with all the oil in the Gulf, the BP people need to be tarred and feathered.
Just wondering.. Sooo.. When does the siphoning stop? How long before the oil runs out?? Would they just keep siphoning until they can build another structure of some sort? Hmmm.
How do they know it’s “working very well”? Can they verify this for us?
Remember, these are the guys who said that it was only gushing 1,000 gallons a day. These guys have been wrong about everything they said or done so far.
Prove it, BP - I don’t take your word for anything.
the strategy of inserting a 4-inch tube into the 21-inch riser, a pipe in the seafloor from where the largest leak is spewing.

Good news, this can also be used to clean-up natural disaster leaks too, more oil for Democrats and their supporters that use oil regularly. Burn baby, burn...
Good news....and I hope this means that my BP stock will go back up tomorrow!
The writer is an idiot. To Siphon is to allow gravity to take fluid from a high level to a low level.
The flow is the result of pressure adequate to force the gas and fluid to the surface
You know folks, I’m not happy what is taking place, but this go for the throat attitude toward BP serves nobody well, unless you’re Barack Obama and his fascist flying monkey squad.
Do we really need to buttress their position on this?
I am hoping this won’t have the full negative impact that we are each fearful of. And I must say, if I were living in the areas affected, I’d be angry, no doubt.
Anyone who thinks BP wanted this to take place, is kidding themselves. This is a very bad scenario for them. Oil companies already have high negatives. This is certain to add to them.
Now, as for denying BP rights in the Gulf, the U.S. doesn’t have control of drilling in international waters. This may not have been international waters, but my guess is that it was. If not, do we really want to let Vietnam, China, Mexico, Cuba and everyone else to drill in the Gulf, and deny BP?
What we should be doing is ramping up drilling. Instead one of these accidents takes place, a once in 25 years event, and we all of a sudden get shaky knees and start sounding like a group ANSWER bussed in.
Enough already.
Nice to know they weren’t quoting Biden.
Good work,BP outdid the Federal Government in everyway.
Does this mean I have to postpone my end-of-the-world party?
I drink your milkshake...I drink it up.....
bad news for crybabies hoping the world was coming to an end
Do people still think that this event occurring a few hours before and just in time to be front page news on “Earth Day” is an accident?
Jeez Louise.. how naive can one get?
