2. It is getting worse by the second...
Another try with the tube to stop Gulf oil

Giant Plumes of Oil Found Forming Under Gulf of Mexico

Another Snag Hits As Oil Plumes Form Underwater

What if hurricanes and rough weather create oil saturated aerosols and disperse this stuff over every state east of the Mississippi? Mega-death.

3. Everything about this situation is awful.

The only silver lining will be for BP if they are able to "siphon" enough oil from their amazing "discovery" gusher to make the destruction to the rest of us pay.

5. Are you aware of a magic way to get seawater out of oil?
Even if you can (eventually) do that, it's going to be much more expensive than simply pumping uncontaminated oil. BP can only get usable oil out of this reservoir if they seal the current well and drill a new one elsewhere. This situation is enough of a disaster without adding conspiracy theories on top of it.
