Oil Spill Suggestion Box

They will stop the leak when all else fails. Lets see what the relief well does in August.

I understand they are already drilling two relief wells, which hopefully will be completed by August.

If I understand correctly the relief well is just another way to continue pumping oil at this site.

Theory here is that pumping from the two new holes into the same bore hole will reduce the pressure on the broken one allowing them to cap it. A side consequence would be continuing to pump from the two new holes, however, I think we've witnessed one fatal down side of deep water drilling. I'd bet there is a call for world wide moratorium on deep water drilling until it can be proven safe again. At least, that seems to be a rational position.

I can't get the pictures of the oil cover birds out of my head.

You can always join the movement just by buying dish soap. A bunch of my friends are taking the summer off, to go clean up Gulf beaches. There are things that have not been done that I believe should be done.

I'm very disappointed in how badly (slow, unfocused, bureaucratic, passive) our government has been in reacting early to help save the coasts.
