Is the BP Gusher Unstoppable? | Mother Jones

I don't think it will be stopped by conventional means. I also don't like that source, but it's only because they are tree huggers and really the wrong kind of do gooders

for my taste. The article is really a repost of another article, which seems to have good information in it.

Even though this isn't the deepest well drilled underwater, there are so many ifs about

what they can do to stop the leak. They have tried the obvious methods, but there are probably others in the works that may correct the problem.

It may turn out that all they can do is consider it a producing well and get all they can out of it. This is, of course, prohibited by Obama's moratorium and all the tree and

dolphin huggers will not stand for it. So, if that's the case, politics will succeed in screwing up an already bad situation. They usually do.

stopping this should be no problem

Simply slip a wedding band on it and it surely will stop putting out.
