the only thing that worked was drilling the relief well
I bet the reason they are doing these retarded ideas while they drill the relief well is to make people think that something is being done

- brianobush 16y agoWell to a non-oil expert, they seem to have some merit. To me, the execution seems flawed.
- vrode 16y agoAll businesses work this way to day, but only few has such a high risk. What BP did there was practically a 50/50 game of chance, and they've lost. It seems that in the shadow of profit, the risk becomes transparent. Sometimes other risks, like 'losing market value' seem more real than the risk of bursting such well. Maybe it is because economists are in charge and their lack of technical expertise, makes the technical risk less real.
- ck2 16y agoThis proves the #1 regulation that should be created after this is a relief well MUST be drilled at the same time a main well is drilled, regardless of cost if they want to do business. A few of these per century will really destroy the environment, and who knows how much worse this is going to get with just one hurricane in the next few months.
