A maneuver that includes severing a leaking pipe from the well may increase the flow as much as 20 percent.

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.

General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.

Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

When are you "Bleeding Heart Conservatives" (your own Words)going to stop blaming Obama for your insidious economic Greed and belief that the previous Republican Administrations road to deregulation was inspired by God. When a fox guards the Chicken House this is the result..

Get BP to pump the oil using super tankers now, do not wait - get them to pump the oil out of the sea, on the surface and below the surface.
This has been done earlier in Saudi Arabia, back years ago.
They need to start cleaning up NOW.

It strikes me as being a distinct possibility that BP is either an inexcusably dumb company, or is manipulating everyone and everything to conserve this particular well and its ***endless oil supply,*** no matter *what.* It strikes me, too, the company is not remotely interested in stopping its flow - which would cost it too much in actual oil, as well as in investors, the Gulf of Mexico et al, be damned.

I tend to agree that BP has its eye on the prize: the oil. Why do most of their 'answers' arrive with some form of trying to capture as much oil as they can?...So they can at least pay for this misadventure through what they draw off it daily? All they have to do is sink something heavy over the well.

BP is criminally negligent in this matter. THE UNITED STATES has aided BP's abuse of the public trust. The remedy is clear - use enzymes, bacteria to eat the oil. The question becomes how long will BP & THE UNITED STATES (both CORPORATIONS) be allowed to make WAR on We the People, destroy the region, et.al.?

Dumb question but, how do you keep seawater warm through a mile of pipe in near freezing water? Insulation? LOL
