new information released. Strange, there were no problems in this occurance...

Anyways, it's only the first step in the procedure and luckily things seem to be moving smoothly. Hopefully now, after they officially lower the pressure to be of no concern they will find a solution to cleaning the mess they made up.

I just saw the news (1 minute ago) and it's not sure till now that it's really closed there's still "brown stuff" blowing out and it's not sure if it's mud or oil. And one expert said that the chances to plug the leak that way are only 1-10% and not 60% like BP claims.

It was the Wingin' Poms that failed. The US failed to regulate, better.

I'm all about alternative (Solar) energy sources, so this only helps my position.

I heard some expert on the news saying this chemical dispersant just "hides" the oild by dispersing it. Basically a "out of sight out of mind" sort of strategy, now that is sad.

I hope lessons will be learned from this disaster, but lets face it they won´t. The world needs oil like a drug, and they will keep on drilling for it.

Okay, it's really time from Obama to step in.

You think so? Maybe he should wait a month or two?

What exactly is Obama going to do besides fine BP and waste time getting another oil group/s out there (which would take weeks to months)?

I think he should go on vacation. The States don't need their planes to protect the coast line approved.

No. We want to get the US off of oil dependency, right? No better way to do this then cover all of the gulf coast with oil. If you make a big enough disaster, then we will never drill in the gulf again.

While this will help that transition I don't think that allowing the disaster to keep spreading is necessary. There was a poll that suggested a lot of people already think it's the worst disaster in 100 years.
