This is a worst case scenario, but it makes sense.

I hope they don't allow offshore drilling in Alaska, it's the cold water from that region that is ground zero for the seas food chain.

sounds like a lot of fear mongering to me...

Normally I would agree with you, but not in this case. I think that underplaying this is a defense mechanism, this is a really bad thing and it's only going to get worse. They cannot cap the oil geyser.

Slightly more technical article saying something very similar.

It's interesting that in the article I posted earlier it was stated that the cap would not hold, then a few days later the cap blew off.

TPTB seem to be sitting around idly and picking their collective noses.
One of the best ideas I've heard in regards to spill cleanup was the one involving netted straw/hay.
Only objection the EPA bigshots had was the waste it would generate.
Firelogs, crude heating oil, cheap building material, all of which doesn't sound like "waste" to me.
And perhaps instead of caps or steel pipes, why not a flexible, cloth-like tube with connecting collars?
Sways with the current, lighter to deal with, and perhaps quicker to construct.
One end's collared to the break, another one to a surface buoy for a tanker to hook/collect from.

Starting to look that way.
How many epic, catastrophic fuck-ups does the human race have to make before we end up actually having to pay for one?

Does anyone wonder why the deadly effects of the Corexit dispersant is not being
discussed in the media ?
Is it true that the manufacturing company is owned by Goldman Sachs ?
Wasn't Goldman Sachs the largest campain contributer to the Obama campain?

I think Goldman Sachs was the second largest, but if you're insinuating that Obama blew this oil rig intentionally to rake in a profit for one of his campaign contributors, I'd say that's a stretch.
As for the discussion of dispersant in the media, I assume that was a rhetorical question, but KCRW has been running segments on it. It is known to be more toxic than the oil and natural gas themselves.
In any case, if these articles are correct, and this well cannot be killed, then it's irrelevant whose fault it is because there is going to be no oceanic ecosystem left when this is all over anyway. Nothing meaningful to supporting mammalian life on this planet, anyway. The entire ocean will be flooded with oil, and the Gulf of Mexico is going to become a supervolcano when the Earth's crust gives way under the steam pressure and...
As per my link above, I'm pretty sure the Doomsday Argument is the answer to Fermi's Paradox. I've been convinced of this for a while, but I was hoping it'd give me a few more years than this to accomplish some things before the apocalypse.
Maybe I'm just going bananas for lack of sleep.

Actually, they can. If they weren't worried about 'saving the oil', they could easily cap it. Instead, money interests are put above environmental interests (this should not surprise anyone) and so we have this gusher for months and months because BP wants to still be able to make money off the well.
This gusher could have been capped within weeks. Fuck the world I hate everyone.

My suspicions exactly.
All these good ideas that could've kicked this thing in the ass and BP has fingers stuck up theirs.
