This is ridiculous,
the Gulf needs evacuated and the whole area within the gulf area sealed,
there will surely be the technology to stop this meeting the Atlantic currents?
This is a Global disater, it could be the catalyst for an extinction level event. We all need to enclose the gulf.
Indeed... seal off the putrid GoM waters from contaminating the rest of the Carribbean Sea and North Atlantic Gulf Stream water current, which helps keep Europe from being a Siberia zone.
the 2 open spaces are between the Florida Keys- and Cuba
then from Cuba to the Yucatan... see this off site graphic map of the GOM continental Shelf:

i ain't got the time or motivation to draw in the 'walls' that create a barrier which would contain all the GoM body of water (66 quadrillion gallons)
and allow the busted well & seafloor to make the body of water into a 50% hydrocarbon-sea-of-Mexico...
do it for yourself... the Dubai engineers created islands in the sea--- why couldn't we contain the former Gulf ? and then skim off the oil & refine it from the oily waters itself...without the need of hundreds of wells?

Keep your ridicule reply handy... because soon the plan will be to contain the GoM...
perhaps by a squadron of super tankers with booms & skimmers & oil-water separators stationed in & above the critical underwater paths & valleys which the currents flow.
with the ultimate goal of a static & solid wall being constructed, a wall to match the Great Wall of China, but not for keeping out the enimies... rather keeping in the ever increasing hydrocarbons within the GoM
from spoiling/disintegrating the North Atlantic water conveyor.

Okay first off, I see that you are stating some absolutes, then asking questions. That's pretty bizarre. Listen, last year it was swine flu. People were hysterical and said the exact same things as you are. That next year the world would be completely different. The year before it was the financial crisis and people said the same thing. I'm just saying, try to keep it real.
Nobody knows what the world will be like next year. Nobody. I think it's pretty clear that areas around the GOM that rely on the fishing industry will be devastated. I think it's pretty clear this will impact our economy in a negative way. I don't know to what degree. I don't know what measures will be taken in the meantime, and what innovations will be thought up. Nobody does.
