Yeah, you're right. BP is obviously an expert in this field.

No one has any experience in this period. Just seems like BP is a bunch of fricking retards riding a short bus to go fix this.

Probably not, but they're proving they don't know shite about this stuff either.

Use it all you want but quit pussy footing around and stop the fricking leak. BP still being in charge of this at this point is a joke was more my point than to stop using oil, idiot.


Correct me if I'm wrong but experts outside of BP said basically from the beginning that there is pretty much nothing they can do to "stop" the oil flow until the relief wells are drilled right???.....so if there is anybody else out there that can get these wells drilled faster then let them have at it but why would an outside entity that is not BP want to try try and try again things that aren't going to stop the spill???

Not sure but why does BP seem to turn down any outside help? In this situation why not listen to every person with even a little credibility?

Really?!?!

You want to federalize this mess?

You don't think BP has any interest in stopping the leak as soon as possible?

You don't think every major has provided suggestions to BP about how to stop the flow?

You don't think BP is taking reasonable suggestions from every source possible?

You think that the main problem is the water depth?

And gets paid. Remember the guy that put all the wells out after the first Gulf War? That guy made millions of dollars.

I truly don't. They seem rather arrogant about it IMO.

BP's engineers are smarter than the government's fwiw.

The guys working for the government are the ones that counldn't get hired by BP, Chevron, etc

The reporter said the birds they filmed covered in oil were in very bad shape and not expected to make it.

I am not 100% sure on that. NASA ring a bell? Not saying to fix the leak but I doubt there are very many in the private sector smarter than those guys.
