You may not like it but someone in the business has a better chance in
building a coalition of all the oil companies to fix this than an
outsider.

anybody know what this means? what 'coalition' is necessary? this is
an engineering problem.

Exactly ... and the more engineers you have working on the fix the
better chance you have.

actually it's just the opposite. the more people you have working on
an engineering problem the more likely you are to argue yourself into
indecision.

you need the RIGHT people, not MORE people. that's what you don't
understand

Again, who besides Tony Hayward says BP has the right people?

fine. you go find more experienced engineers. then let BP know about
'em.

Assuming there isn't a spoofer here, you really need to make up your
mind. Either BP is the best of the best or they are incompetent
assholes. You have made both cases in consecutive postings.

You really don't think anyone from the other oil companies has thought
of something better?

Actually, no.

I don't believe the oil companies spend much money or time devising ways
to clean up their messes. In fact, during congressional hearings, it was
revealed that the disaster mitigation plans of five of the largest oil
companies were nearly identical, only nine pages long and full of
boilerplate.

I think nations should allow existing arrangements with oil companies to
expire, and any new arrangements should keep nations in control of their
resources, with the drilling companies hired as subcontractors, not
owners, of a nation's mineral wealth. In fact, doesn't norway do that now?

That oil belongs to us, not BP.
