Sadly though, I've read they are running out of options and it may be years before the leak might be stopped. There's something like a mountain worth of oil before it runs out. :?

WTF??!!! You serious???
So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
Had BP taken the proper action to ensure that safety was at 100% and that all their processes were in compliance to industry and safety standards, we wouldn't be in this mess.
I blame BP for not taking responsibility and playing the blame game as well as neglecting the appropriate industry standards that have been put in place in order for them to even conduct the business that they do.
BP is an ultimate failure.

That's one theory.. they're telling us their goal is to have it contained by August, but can we really believe them? If they know we're fucked, they're not going to say it.
From reports I have been hearing, there is little chance that the relief wells will work. There is a good chance that the leak will not be stopped in my lifetime. Maybe that is worst case scenario, but still a good possibility. I don't even what to think what the long term ramifications of this are. I still can't believe that the public is not more outraged over this. I think there should be protests on the Gulf Coast and in Washington for more information to be released. Right now the only people "in the know" is BP and the Federal Gov't. Neither of which may be trusted in this situation. And for some reason the press is keeping quiet.

I would guess this stuff would flood the gulf stream and make its way to Europe, maybe even eventually taint most of the Oceans.. I'm not sure how long this could keep spewing but this could not be good at all.
If they have to spend trillions to get this fixed, they had better start writing checks now. If there really is a mountain worth of oil that will spill, this could mean mass extinction.
I just love how from the begining it was all - Hey, we have to BP in charge of the cleanup, I mean, they're the experts right? Um, no, not really. They might be an expert on drilling oil, but not preventing or cleaning spills; that much is pretty goddamn evident and shouldn't really be a surprise that we aren't getting the whole truth, or that the press is being held back and restricted by BP folks at every turn. It is basically the equivalent of putting a murderer in charge of his own forensic investigation. Mmmm, we didn't find anything to convict that guy; that's weird.

it won't be stopped in your lifetime?.....are you 99.9 years old?
don't most experts (aside from the gov and bp) think it will last another couple months or so?

They haven't figured out how to stop it yet and its been a few months, so how can we believe any numbers they give us?

no no no....i thought the majority opinion of independent scientists are saying it will most likely leak through the rest of summer. at least that is what they were saying up through a week or so ago. honestly, i've tried to stay away from the coverage for a while its so depressing.
by the way, anderson cooper is covering this like nobody's business. i am not a huge fan of his. but the guy is doing a bang up job with this story every night.

That or BP is paying these independent scientists to have opinions that it will be another month, or another month, or another month to keep mass histaria from breaking out..

nah dude...these are people who come on the air and openly rip bp for giving out bad info or concealing info...chill with your conspiracy theory
some scientists think it is leaking below the surface, too.

What initially seemed a manageable spill is now rated by the US coastguard as a serious environmental problem, with 1,000 barrels of oil a day being pumped into the Gulf of Mexico.....
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-06-0 ... rises.html
The panel, led by Marcia McNutt, director of the U.S. Geological Survey, said May 27 its best estimate of the spill rate was 12,000 barrels to 19,000 barrels a day, based on separate analyses of the plume of oil from the well as shown on video and the extent of the slick on the surface of the Gulf.

Scientists this week doubled the official estimate of the size of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, with more than 40,000 barrels of oil feared to be leaking from the seabed every day – but no one knows for sure.
http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-0 ... ate3-.html
BP Plc’s well in the Gulf of Mexico is gushing as much as 60,000 barrels of oil a day, the government said, again increasing a figure officials put at 1,000 barrels more than seven weeks ago.

see that...
drilling 1 mile underwater
only an idiot would that.
not one single man has ever wrenched pipes down there.
very arrogant.
very stupid.
2,000 pounds of pressure per square inch.
that's 1 ton sitting every square inch.
unreal.
no way it can be an easy task to fix.
this thing could go on until it's drained completely dry.

At this rate, that seems to be right where we're headed. That and severe pollution through out our oceans.
