Is the Wash Post lying for Obama as usual? Looks like the oil is still spewing.
Man if they would have just done the job right and BP had not tried to cut corners they would be raking the dough in on all that oil spewing out like a firehose. Stupid.
“Man if they would have just done the job right...”
Yep. If they had just listened to the Driller and the mudman, this may not have happened. They had been battling over-pressures for quite awhile.
I think the cap over the top is one major step in the midst of a bunch of other steps. It is not to “cap” the well, but seems to be a funnel that now they will attach a hose to to bring the oil up to ships. With hopes of 80% capture. (20% still leaking into the water).
A brown pelican covered in oil sits on the beach at East Grand Terre Island along the Louisiana coast on Thursday, June 3, 2010.
I suppose it will be spewing until BP can tap the top cap.
Thanks for the great link. I’ve been looking for a good multiple feeds link.
They want(ed)/want the cash flow. Stopping the blowout is a distant second priority.
Amoco pulled the same play when False River blew out 30 years ago. Capture and sell, not close in and redrill. Cash now, early cash, nearby cash, to top executives is like sex to teenagers. Can I borrow the car keys for sex? I'll make a run to the grocery for sex. Can Cindy come over (and over, for sex)? We're going on a field trip, can I go (for sex)?
Always the money, money, money. People have a right to be pissed at BP management -- putting cash flow before people and collateral damage, again.
