President "you" and BP - how would you handle it?

[Kanalua]

Turn it over to NASA...

Don't they have people sitting around all day...thinking sh|t up?

1) Take BP off the cleaning effort
2) Hire the best oil industry consultant to form a team to formulate strategy to stop the leak and the plan for the clean up
3) Get the military to provide man power and equipment to do the job
4) Bill BP for all the effort
5) Fvcking don't involve politics like try and sell political agenda like cap and trade. Deal with the emergency at hand first and not use the disaster for political gain.

6. Hire BP back ( paid for by the govt.) because they own/control most of the equipment needed.....

Some people have many good ideas and plans they would have implemented.

Unsurprisingly when those started coming out the troll OP disappeared.

He's online now, so I'll bump this up to the top, just in case he forgot about it

Oh, I'm here - and it's refreshing to see some ideas being shared instead of the hallow bleating of some....

And did I miss an answer about the "dropping a nuke" to seal off the area of the spill - or is that just Pravda's way of filling their pages between the UFO stories?

What constitutes "Reasonable"?

The person setup to head the capping, cleanup, and protection efforts and the support team overseeing that part of the disaster (capping team, open ocean team, shore/coast team) would have the say as to what is "reasonable." As a rough guideline, 1: some kind of scientific/historical support for doing it and the team in charge of that part of the operation would have to support it, 2: can't be excessively expensive (i.e. $1,000/ft for boom) 3: cannot harm the environment worse than oil (otherwise what is the point?) and 4: small scale testing must be done on site (where possible) prior to full scale deployment.
