Poll question: "efforts should capture up to 90% of the oil" opinions? |
|
From tonight's speech,
"As a result of these efforts, we have directed BP to mobilize additional equipment and technology. In the coming days and weeks, these efforts should capture up to 90% of the oil leaking out of the well. This is until the company finishes drilling a relief well later in the summer that is expected to stop the leak completely."
What do you think?

3. I can't call that one but it was very likely extreme bullshit |
|
I guess he is still buying whatever BP is selling or is selling it himself on their behalf.

4. Seriously, how does he think BP is going to contain 90 % of it? |
|
Their cup only captures ~15,000 barrels. Now they new estimates say up to 60,000 barrels are leaking. Since the estimates keep on increasing, for all I know it's even more than that. So, again, how does he think BP will manage to contain 90 % of it in the next couple of weeks?

5. Admitting to 90% of the spill amount by then would be an advancement |
|
Containing that much seems too far to get to from where we are.
