GULF OIL SPILL

Things Going So Well that BP Decides to Fuck It All Up

BP removed a containment cap from its stricken Gulf of Mexico oil well on Saturday in the first step toward installing a bigger cap to contain all the crude gushing into the sea and fouling the coast.

The manoeuvre released a torrent of oil that will spew unrestrained into the Gulf for four to seven days -- the time BP says it will take to put in place a bigger cap and seal. Officials say the new cap would capture all the oil leaking from the well and funnel it 1 mile (1.6 km) upward to vessels on the water's surface. Business Standard

I know that I have been critical about the lack of news regarding BP's attempts to stop this leak lately but this is not what I was talking about. We are two weeks away from mini season and BP decides that they need to uncap the damn leak so it can pump maximum oil into the gulf over the next seven days?! 

How are these people still in business....
