I live on the gulf coast, want to see how this oil spill has taken hold on our way of life, visit the early morning coffee drinker at the various hangouts. Conversations are 100% are about the spill and —the non acting president.

To fuel the conversations I think the only way to stop the flow is to drill production wells, i.e., relief wells in the oil field and collect(produce) the oil so the failed well can be sealed. But we have a moratorium on drilling while the rigs are available. And if the Coast Guard had followed advice and kept Deepwater Horizon dry the product would have burned off and the well would be accessible and undoubtedly more amenable to reconstruction or abandonment.
