Physics Professor Michio Kaku: Oil Leak Could Last for Years

June 02, 2010 — Disaster in the Gulf: Day 44 (June 2nd - NBC's Today Show Interview with Dr. Kaku about BP's latest effort to 'Cut & Cap' the damaged pipe in the Gulf and if the method will work. BP plans to use a diamond edged tool (wire-cutters) to make a clean cut of the damaged pipe (one cut was made last night) and if the caps don't work, the problem has essentially become magnified because now the holes are even larger than before and an estimated 20% increase of oil spillage is now a high possibility. -YouTube

Sometimes I wonder if BP is doing everything possible. Someone on Reddit said the following:

"Are they sealing the well totally or just trying to find a way to stop the leak but allow future oil recovery?"

Neither, they're trying to suck whatever they can get out through a twisty straw, and telling us to be happy that the little bit of oil they manage to capture (to sell to us later) won't accidentally all over Florida.
