<<...BP likely caused this massive pollution by penny pinching safety, a trait that BP is uniquely known for. No CBL is one good example.

A more responsible oil company would be drilling four or five relief wells NOW ! Every additional well reduced the chances of a month plus delay (the wild well was about 1.5 months over schedule).

But each additional well costs $100+ million and that is against BP's corporate culture. So only two RWs.

Best Hopes for several more (if deserved) felony convictions for BP itself and various of their employees,

Yeah,but the junk shot is sort of modified top kill, and there is another plan behind that, which I will track down, just fer you. They depend on the top kill not damaging what is left of the BOP, tho.

Why do I not get a strong sense of confidence that these things will work?
