This is pretty cool. INSERT QUOTE TEXT A group of oil companies led by Exxon said Thursday it has built a system that can stop an undersea oil spill within weeks, a critical step towards resuming drilling in the deepest parts of the Gulf of Mexico. The system is designed to be fully assembled in two to three weeks after a blowout. It can work at depths up to 8,000 feet and capture as much as 60,000 barrels of liquid and 120 million cubic feet of gas per day. BP's Macondo well blew out at about 5,000 feet below sea level and spilled an average of 52,400 barrels per day. At its peak, BP's well spewed 61,900 barrels per day. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=133835597 |

Do you think a plan from "Big Oil" is going to change their minds? |
