[quote name="jaxhawksfan"]From what I understand, this cap isn't supposed to be a permanent solution. It is just there to stop the flood until the relief wells can be drilled. Hopefully it suits that purpose and the relief wells are finished soon.
As for Barry and his merry band of arrogant fuckups..........just another way to waste some more of the taxpayers money. They know damn good and well they don't have the authority to keep people from working in the Gulf. This will be shot down in court as well.
Lastly, one of the oil companies has said "sayonara" and plans to move operations out of the Gulf. Either they are bluffing, or they may be first in a long line of companies who won't deal with the bullshit and will take their work elsewhere. If ANYONE thinks this administration isn't trying to bankrupt the country and put everyone out of work then you are a fucking moron.[/quote]
No more than the Bush administration did. Really, if anyone thinks ANY of the political parties have their best intrests at hear they're really taking the full fist.
Anyhow, I did read an interesting article on a cheap way to cap the oil was to get some large, heavy iron objects to fit in the hole--like, say, cannon balls, dead automibile engines, etc. dump enough in there to slow the rate of expulsion, then go to smaller and smaller objects that are heavier than the oil until you get down to sand. eventually, the viscosity of the oil/gas would prevent any significant leakage through the small passageways between the particles used to fill the hole.
Problem solved. Hell, they could have solved it with the entire cash for clunkers program.
