But all these solutions are pure bullshit and the smart people out there should have smelled it from day one. BP sounds like that guy that owes you money and every week he has new reason how the money is right around the corner. He has this check coming, or a new deal just popped up, or he just got a new bank account, etc. The whole point is to string you along, same with BP and these methods. BP knows none of these will work because they have never worked in the past.

There are only 2 known ways to fix the problem. 1) Relief wells. 2) Drop a nuke down the hole (Yes, really.). Relief wells take like 3 months to drill approximately. Nukes are the absolute last resort. All the "garbage" this and "kill" that techniques are just things to try while the relief wells are drilled. So yes, BP knows that most likely these techniques will not work and they have been quoted as saying this many times. What would you rather they do? Nothing at all until the relief wells are done?
