OK. BP capped the well and ...
Big expensive clean up ahead.

Lots of speeches about it before Election Day. Both parties.

Lots of money paid in indemnities too. BP's stockholders unhappy for a few quarters.

Then back to "normal". Right? :evilfrown:

1. Don't throw the party yet - the well may yet be uncapped again.
The capping was supposed to be temporary, and there may yet be problems that may force them to reopen that spigot.

3. Did BP cap the well really though?
Or was it the invisible hand of capitalism, pushing back down upon the oil, that made it possible?
