I can't digg this comment enough, so I will reply to you as a virtual double digg.

BP doesn't want the well capped or they would be able to measure how much oil has been escaping and be fined accordingly.
renegadeafkJul 10, 2010
I hate bp as much as the next guy, but that's just ridiculous. How does letting it leak longer help them?

If it helps get cap and trade passed, you can bet the fed won't be looking too hard at BP's practices that created the mess in the first place.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

"practices that created the mess in the first place."
Except the whole criminal investigation and mass media coverage. It's all hush-hush.

"Except the whole criminal investigation and mass media coverage. It's all hush-hush"
That is exactly right. They are making it hush hush.
CNN reporter Anderson Cooper says, "A new law passed today, and back by the force of law and the threat of fines and felony charges, ... will prevent reporters and photographers from getting anywhere close to booms and oil-soaked wildlife just about any place we need to be. By now you're probably familiar with cleanup crews stiff-arming the media, private security blocking cameras, ordinary workers clamming up, some not even saying who they're working for because they're afraid of losing their jobs."

Oh boo-f**king-hoo. I'm a reporter and I'm special.

I for one don't want Anderson f**king Cooper driving over booms in a boat. Containment booms can be compromised by boat wake. It's the same principle as fencing off a construction site so random idiots don't wander around.
The law Cooper is referring to sets a 100m distance, well within the range of telephoto lenses anyways. They just don't want a flock of reporters bumbling around all over the place getting in the way. Additionally, you can call ahead for access.

"just about any place we need to be."
Hahaha... what an egotistical f**k. He's a freaking reporter... they don't "need" to be anywhere.

Walk outside, look at a parked car, any parked car. How fast was it moving yesterday ?

You could measure how much is siphoned onto the ship in a certain time, then multiply that by how much time it's been leaking. That will give you an approximate estimate.

I think you need to think about some adult education courses, Doonce

What I find funny is that it's the feds who keep being overly optimistic about this, and BP who seems to be the more realistic in their time table estimates.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.
theswashbucklerJul 10, 2010
From what I've heard it's the other way around. BP says they may have the relief well done this month, while the feds say it's next month.

If someone could find a way to cheaply extract the oil from the water would the oil belong to them, and could they sell it? If someone could scoop up just half the oil (~40 million gallons) at $70 a barrel (42 gallons/barrel), they might make as much as ~$67 million dollars, and BP will have picked up the tab for exploration and drilling.

They are already skimming oil and selling it.
soc7Jul 10, 2010
The oil is still usable, but it's value and variety of applications are reduced. This link has a lot of technical info on what's been going on.

COULD contain......
oh, and even if you cap the well right now, there is still tons of oil in the gulf which will no longer be "contained" as soon as the first hurricane goes over the affected area.....

Would have happened in any developed country other then the USA?
gsny88Jul 10, 2010
What a coincidence that this week is when they announce their 2nd quarter earnings. BP is trying to stop the blow to its stock by convincing everyone the leak is almost fixed, when god knows how far they actually are.

I could be elected the CEO of BP by Monday.
