Brother, I'm just a porno webmaster, I couldn't tell you how. I was just told they can. And I'm sure those who do know are not going to tell those who don't need to know. Could be from a new law passing, could be from an extreme spike in gas, could be from insurance, no telling. I just build crappy websites and repeat what I was told by a true expert in the field.
What I do know is, my brother-in-law has a PhD in geology, is an oceanographer, a hydrologist AND he helps run an entire division at Qatar Petroleum. When I have him telling me there is a way, regardless if he doesn't tell me what way that is, I have to believe him. He said everyone in the oil industry knows how to profit from oil spills and leaks and that this leak was an accident, but now that it is there, it's not being stopped on purpose. Crazy as that sounds to me, he is an expert and I tend to listen to him. He's the smartest guy I've ever met.

Well, what us civilians know is what we're told. He claims several Arab oil companies are on stand-by waiting for the green light to come and cap this, and said it can be done. He also said the media is only letting out part of the facts on this leak and how it can be resolved. This doesn't surprise me. It also doesn't surprise me that there are other companies waiting to step in and stop this but they are not being allowed to even go near it with a team of scientists.
