BP is moving along to "Junkshots" and other more desperate measures. They're saying this at
The Oil Drum, and NYT has picked it up
here. If its true, and junkshot fails (very likely at this point) then every couple of days = one
Exxon Valdez, for the next 90 days, until they drill a relief well, if they get the relief well right the first time.
They're talking about deliberately torching the Louisiana Coastline to burn off oil that's washed ashore. Can't find the link right now, but they are.
Planning to go South this year? B.C. is a nice alternative.
