    'Top kill' fails, BP moves on 'to next option'

    Three attempts to pump mud and 16 tries to stuff solid material into a breached Gulf of Mexico oil well failed to stop the flow, top BP executives said Saturday, and engineers and executives with the oil giant have decided to "move on to the next option."

    ...the lower marine riser package "should be able to capture most of the oil" that has fed what is now the largest oil spill in U.S. history, but he cautioned that the new cap will not provide a "tight mechanical seal." "We're confident the job will work, but obviously we cannot guarantee success at this time," he said.

    "Katrina was nothing but rain, water and wind. This is poison. It's gas," oysterman Arthur Etienne said.




    It was really only a matter of time before we poisoned or nuked ourselves out of existence anyway.

                  Hmmm, options?

                  Well, perhaps a huge densely opaque net made of durable material that could be held in place 10 to 20 feet above the well with anchors, but with a tube attached in the center to act as a syphon. Then the oil could be controlled and pumped into tankers.

                        Aren't there natural oil eating bacteria they can use? http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencein...ulf-beach.html (usage for beaches--maybe tweak it to treat slicks?)
