How ignorant can the govt be to have as it's priority, to measure the oil leak instead of plugging it?


I believe there is a fine of a $1000 per barrel of leaked oil - so there's some serious money to be collected and of course BP has every incentive to low ball the numbers.

That said they should be working to stop the leak asap or be realistic and helpful in communicating the plan - once they put one together, if ever.
