Th Gulf gusher has, as the experts of The Oil Drum feared and predicted well in advance, not been capped from the top side. The solution has always been relief wells, reaching 13,000' beneath the seabed to interdict and fill the leaker with cement. These take two or three months and are subject to the exact same hazards that killed eleven men and sank the Deepwater Horizon. There's been a lot of media orchestrated sniveling about Barack Obama not swimming a mile down into the Gulf of Mexico completely nude with a pipe wrench in his teeth to personally stopper the well. And Kossacks have gone along with the doubly foolish framing. I'm not here to criticize my President, I'm here to help him. And I'm not talking about just stoppering the leak, which is merely a symptom; we're going to go right to the source of a couple of problems.
