Yep, much cheaper than having all the proper safety equipment functioning.
Almost $1 billion spent cuz they didn't wanna spend $500,000. That would be downright hilarious if this wasn't such a catastrophe.
Did everyone forget the BP rented this rig? Why is the not-replacing of the vault their fault, or responsibility? I think they are doing a pretty good job
Good job? Based on what? Considering the billion dollars already spent, they haven't accomplished a whole hell of a lot.

Can you do it any better? Do you have better solutions?

Yeah Brenda... me and my billions are going to fix the damn leak.
I wonder if the all shout CUT in unison that the leak would stop. You never know.
According to Klump (2010), the Macondo Prospect may hold 50 million barrels of recoverable oil. An unknown fraction of this 50 million barrels would be available to leak from the single well from which the oil is currently flowing.
It will make the Alberta Tar Sands look pretty insignificant ...
