Seems like BP still driven by profits
There is a theme that runs through BP's efforts to stop the oil from flowing into the Gulf of Mexico in our latest, ongoing ecological disaster. In each attempt to stop the gushing, there has been there has been an effort to salvage the oil. The attempts have been abandoned when the oil could not be saved and pumped in to a container vessel of some sort.
Is this BP still going for the bottom line regardless of the environment?
Would it not be easier to lower their big box, fill with heavy debris to weigh it down, then cap and seal it with concrete?
It seems very simplistic but it seems like this would stop the oil from gushing in to the Gulf and just incidentally in to BP's tankers. Which is more important?
