An oil industry insider provides a carefully documented and clearly explained assessment of why the oil well blowout in the Gulf of Mexico may be unstoppable by any means except draining the billion(s) of barrels in the reserve. The well has apparently been damaged far below the surface, allowing oil to leak there and making any seal at or near the surface a diversion rather than a closure. We are privileged to be able to access this information on the web. Its absence from official government sources, from the companies party to the creating of the well and spill, or from mainstream media is testimony to the degree to which all three impede valuescience practice by withholding accurate, pertinent information.
