I admit I got this via my friend, an older fella, who falls for and forwards me every email spam scare he gets, but it is interesting:
The Oil Drum | Deepwater Oil Spill - A Longer Term Problem, Personnel - and Open Thread 2
What say you, guys in the industry? Sammy? Pazuzu?
It's long and I dont want to copy/paste, the gist:
We're not being told many specifics of the oil well 'capping', because the people 'in the know' already know that the well is leaking underground, and they know the 'capping' fix isn't actually going to seal the well, only direct the leaks in a different direction, which is even worse than the existing problem.
