Well good.

This leak could go on for years, and it would not match how much the US uses in a year.

Since Top Kill is failing we should try something new. I was brain storming with a friend and we both agreed that the best solution would be to have the government abduct obese red necks from WAL-MART's in the midwest and shove them down into the broken pipe, plugging it up. A bunch of fat people would provide better stoppage than landfill and mud, I think.

It could lead to a zombie apocalypse though.

The problem with that is the absurd buoyancy those fatasses have at those depths.

I've thought about ways to use all the fatasses in this great nation: sadly, plugging a;sldkfj as;ldkfj a;sldkfj a;sldkfj as;ldkfj sjcm dnthnm2

sorry, spasm.



Anyway, plugging up "deep well" oil leaks is not one of them.

Since America insists on letting on letting the private sector take care of the oil spill and not applying the death penalty in a meaningful way (again), here's my solution to cleaning up the oil spill.

1. Put the executives and board members of BP, Haliburton, and Transocean, along with their families on a large cruise ship in the middle of the spill.

2. Do not provide them with any safety equipment outside of rudimentary medical supplies. Provide them with communication to their employees.

3. Air drop just enough food to provide everyone onboard with 1,500 calories per day. Fuel should be provided only by solar panels for electricity, the boat should be immobile.

4. If the leak is not stopped within 2 months and the spill is not cleaned up withing 1 year, torpedo the ship. If they meet the deadlines, let them go free...after repossessing 75% of their assets, seizing their companies, breaking them up, and auctioning them off of course.

More motivation due to actually having a personal stake, rather than sitting back and dictating policy to a sovereign nation and creating theater for the cameras by pretending to do something.

Gosh, if only they had thought of doing something! You should write in and tell them that.

DJ, much as I hate to criticise your clearly well thought out and rational response... you think BP does NOT have a stake in this? You think they are unmotivated?

Wow.

Well, there is some cautious optimism on the latest plan. We'll see.

Under the current laws, they have to pay less than a day's profit, then they can thumb their noses and tell everyone to **** themselves and walk away.

You can´t just blame BP, which creature´s addiction to oil is driving the insanely risky drilling attempts?

They are paying the entire cost of the containment operation, and then there will be the law suits.

Your idea they will only pay a day's profit is laughable.

They are doing everything possible to stop the damn leak.

There's a $75 million cap on damages.

The US has a lot more resources than Mexico and was theoretically responsible for overseeing safety on BP's well. However I am curious about what Mexico is doing about the spill.
