businessinsider.com— BP Plc's well in the Gulf of Mexico is gushing as much as 60000 barrels of oil a day, the government said, raising for the fifth time...

Seriously, I agree with the dugg down guys. Why is BP still there? They should get kicked the f**k out of the whole gulf ! I'm sure someone would jump all over that clean up for the right price
Oh and I disagree, the oil is not overpowering the robots, but gravity put enough rocks down there and you have whay originally capped the well... rocks...
I don't know which people you are referring to, but the majority of people who oppose off shore oil drilling oppose it for 1 of 2 reasons:1. It perpetuates our reliance on oil.2. It can cause adverse environmental effects (like we are seeing now).The reason you are citing for the opposition seems like a revisionist theory foisted on us by the "drill baby drill" crowd in a last ditch effort to not seem like the biggest morons on Earth.
lol at decades to come. The US gets through ~20k barrels a day. So far that's enough oil to last for 58days*(60k/20k) = 174 days. I am not sticking up for BP, but seriously America - might want to rethink your F250s and Hummers. Not a cash for clunkers that costs more oil to replace what's on the road, but just stop making the ridiculous new cars.
BP deserves to fail - to lose all net assets and net profits, to lose all executive compensation. (I'm sure we can all dream how to fairly handle that money.) On Wikipedia, check out BP's extensive history of spills, leaks, explosions, polluting and deaths due to WILLFUL safety violations and degraded maintenance protocols. It's infuriating. This catastrophe was bound to happen to BP because it's their pattern. Never again, BP. Put the execs on a cheap inflatable boat and set them afloat in their dirty oil for an unspecified number of days ... no, weeks.

And people say that offshore drilling won't produce much oil anyway so why bother.. sounds like its a bonanza to me!
