[quote:Anonymous Coward 1029779:MV8xMTMzNzAzXzE4MTg0NzUyX0VFRjJBRjVB] "[i]Even if it works, the cap is not a permanent fix, and not the end of the crisis by any means. BP is drilling two relief wells so it can pump mud and cement into the leaking well in hopes of plugging it permanently by mid-August. After that, the Gulf Coast faces a monumental cleanup and restoration that could take years.[/i] BP stock, which has mainly tumbled since the spill began, closed nearly 8 percent higher on the New York Stock Exchange after the news. Steve Shepard, Gulf Coast chairman of the Mississippi Chapter of the Sierra Club, said: "[i]I think it's a little premature to say it's definitely over. They've gotten our hopes up so many times before that [b]in my mind I don't think it's going to be over until Christmas."[/b] [/i] From the article... see link at the top. [/quote]
