They want to capture the oil. Reason is simple....money. Look at every one of the "fixes". Do they not facilitate harvesting the oil in the "fix"? I believe they could plug the damn thing in two heartbeats, if that's what they wanted to do.

Think about it.


Okay, I thought about it. My conclusion is there is no possible way BP cna make money by continuing to let the oil flow. None, nada, zippo!!!

Do you honestly believe BP would rather cough up $20 billion, plus who knows how much more, lose their worldwide reputation and be paying claims for years to come, to save a little oil? Have you calculated the vaule of all the oil recovered to date vs $20 Billion?
