Things will get even better once hurricane season comes around! Nice big oil hurricanes will just top this disaster off.

Actually, I think that the oil on the surface would prevent water from evaporating, so it would help tropical stroms not turn into hurricanes.

I was listening to the NPR sciences podcast and they found that the oil does nothing to stop it. It may even make it worse because the oil make cause the water to heat up more. According to them.

This is what i got that from:

I don't know what we can do to fix it, but things could definitely get worse: http://xkcd.com/748/

In all seriousness though, what exactly could the government do if they took over? Seems to me BP is the expert here. Wouldn't the government end up going to the experts... such as BP? It's not like the government has a secret team of scientists at their disposal. We're talking about the government here.

Oilcanes! Woohoo! Also, I am sure we are all aware how hurricanes are named...such as Hurricane Katrina. Well when this oilcane occurs...let's call it Hurricane BP in honor of BP! How lovely it will be when the news reports: "4 men dead today due to lung complications as a result of Hurricane BP"...oh the guilt.

I find it funny the stuff they are trying to do to stop the leak, and the way they explain it, they sound like they are pulling the ideas out of their ass. You'd think they would have trained them for situations like this y'know? It's crazy how bad it's getting and how long they are taking to stop it....
