Man, it's only been, what, three months of constantly gushing oil?

is this a cap cap? or just cap so BP can tap it later to start pumping oil? (heck, with the current pressure they don't even need pumps)
 
Hey guys we totally stopped that oil geyser! You can all relax now. Oh, and please ignore how completely fucked the Gulf of Mexico is.
 
Too little, too late. At this point, for it to be reason of celebration, the cap should be an emissions-free horn of abundance powered by the oil underneath.

Edit: A rogue robot will sabotage it sooner or later anyway, so meh.
 
The price never went up because, that well never came to market. There is no less oil coming into the refineries. If the price is to come up, it would be to pay for the clean up. But Exxon and Valero does not have to pay for the clean up, so they will not raise their prices. So since BP will need to compete with the other big dogs, they can not raise their prices. They will just have to take minor cuts to their bottom line over the next 20 years or so that it will take to clean up this spill.

Bullshit. They'll "find a way" to make up that lost profit. Fucking greedy execs.

more likely, price gouging. Ala Enron.
 
...seriously? They fuck up the entire gulf and probably affect half of the entire fucking Atlantic Ocean and you're worried about GAS PRICES?
 
Because the environment is something liberals made up to get John Q Hippie's dick hard. God will make the oil go away.

Bullshit, back atcha mister charming.

They have already profited the amount it will cost them to clean up the mess in the first two months of the disaster. This time is the most profitable that the Oil & Gas Industry has ever seen. No body drove up the price of gas to give Exxon a hand for Prince William Sound clean up.

Matt is right in that it always seems that the industry raises prices arbitrarily and almost NEVER lowers it. I realize that the US gas prices are way, WAY cheaper than most other places in the world, but it hasn't dropped in a long time even though they say reserves are high and demand is lower.
 
A gallon of gas is with in $.05 of where it was the day the rig blew up. Recently the price of gas goes up 10-20% each summer. There has not been any gouging so far.

hole may be capped but we ain't done yet! senate is investigating allegations that lockerbie bomber release may be linked to bp signing a deal with libya for oil drilling rights.

Maybe they can coat the Gulf of Sidra and the Line of Death in a nice sheen of oil.

According to my brother, I'm still looking for the source he used. BP owns a company that was paid to clean up the mess or something to that extent. They made plenty of money back from the spill.
