\nIll just make a few points here cause Im short on time right now...First, you cant cap a pipeline that is lying on the ocean floor, broke. Second, they are currently using a syphon (a smaller tube, stuck into the broken pipeline) to pump apx. 1000 barrels of leaking oil, per day, to barges above. The (short term) fix is to encase the smaller pipe into the leaking pipe, with concrete. Google this: oil spill syphon, there are tons of articles to pick from.

\nIm not saying the spill isnt awful, because it is. Very disturbing to know its in our oceans, period. It will no doubt affect us ALL, in one way or another, for many years to come. As it stands now, BP has spent close to $500 billion. I forsee that being pocket change compared to total cost.\r\n
The term "World Leader" was replaced with the term "Collaboration of entitled, naracassitic, pushovers" about 15 years ago. Not that we\'ve done a lot to dispell that rumor........\r\n
