The BBC reports that the cap installed by BP is performing up to expectations.
The story also contains a slide show with diagrams of how the solution is supposed to work.
Keep a good thought, and let's all hope this works.
Assuming it does, the really hard part now begins: Rebuilding an economy and way of life battered on one side by BP's colossal blunder this spring, and the Obama administration's Machiavellian attempts to exploit the misfortune that followed.
OS intends to keep paying attention, and hopes you do as well. Engineers can cap wells, build berms, come up with solutions to clean up oil, etc. A well-run compensation fund can go a long way toward setting people and businesses back up on their feet. State and local authorities, if allowed, can do much to set things right locally.
The real problem is a federal government in the hands of nihilists, who have worked actively to impede progress toward any solution.
It sounds harsh to say such things, but until consistent evidence exists that the executive branch has changed its ways, it is the the only explanation that accounts for their behavior.
Now, about that ban on exploration and drilling, that is currently bankrupting the families, parishes, and State of Louisiana....
