BP is testing to see if the blown-out nightmare well is dead. I bet you a penny they will say it is. I bet you another penny the announcement declaring the well dead will have no mention of fractured seabed geology or mysterious new plumes of oil and fish kills.
This well will never be killed until they suck ALL the pressure out of it through production wells. Until then, it's leaking, but not through the pipe the Deepwater Horizon laid. It's leaking around the pipe, and it's leaking MILES across fractured seabed geological structure, to pop up as a bunch of big "natural" leaks on the sea floor.
So, the logical thing to do is to sink as many oil wells into this very large known source of crude oil as possible, and start sucking it all out. This has the side benefit of making your car run.
Until we get a few dozen more nuclear plants on line (Thanks President Carter!), or get the oil shale around Utah deemed no-longer a national "don't produce here" zone (thanks President Clinton!), what else are you going to do for energy?
