I think BP is trying to pull a fast one. Pumping dispersants at the source reduces the oil that collects at the surface so the spill doesn't look as bad. But the oil stays in the currents and on the ocean floor for much longer.
It's better to just let the oil come to the shore and get it over with so the eco system can recover.
BP has been lying since the very start of this, I have no idea why they are allowed to lead this operation still. Not only that, dispersants being used in this quantity is unheard of, so now BP is being allowed to conduct an experiment on a grand scale with huge implications for millions of people and years to come. Why are they being trusted to do this?
