Gulf Oil Spill: Salazar Threatens To 'Push' Out BP, But Offers No Terms Or Deadlines

BP has a vested interest in getting that well capped ASAP as they are liable for the environmental damage that will be caused.



==========================



Actually, they don't (have a vested interest in getting it done ASAP) and they are only liable for $75 million.



An argument can be made that by destroying the entire region ecologically, BP & all pro-drilling interested parties (politicians included) can & will push for an increase in offshore drilling increase, "since it's all ruined anyway".



We've already seen Mary Landrieu make a pitch for more drilling the very day after this disaster began. Obama hasn't shut down BP's other operations in US waters (Atlantis is potentially a worse nightmare than Deepwater Horizon and is still operating). Obama also hasn't revoked the drilling permits that were handed out AFTER Obama announced he was suspending new permits.
