The world needs a new source of energy, an unspillable source.

Q&A: If Top Kill worked so quick, why didn’t they do it a month ago?

Question by gws35: If Top Kill worked so quick, why didn’t they do it a month ago?
Why did Obama allow BP to waste time trying to catch the oil in a big box, instead of just doing Top Kill immediately?

It seems like Obama was more interested in saving the oil than he was in saving the environment from the biggest oil spill in history.

Do you approve of Obama’s handling of this disaster?
They didn’t waste any time trying out a big box that didn’t work.

Why didn’t they just do Top Kill first?

BP was not allowed to do ANYTHING without approval from the feds. Bureaucracy takes time. Obama looks totally incompetent.
