There is NO incentive for them to let the leak continue.

There is a LOT of incentive for them to stop it.

I am sure many of the engineers working on this leak want it stopped as bad as the DU does.

They are not all idiots and not all "greedy" CEOs. Some of them are like you and I and just work for a damn living.

If there was some magic easy way to stop this thing why in the world would BP not stop it????

Maybe they lied about the amount leaking, I can see a motive for that.

Maybe they messed up and did not heed warning signs before the blowout. I can see that being motivated by greed.

Maybe they lied to get the permit, there is motive for that.

But there is NO LOGICAL REASON for them not to try as hard as possible to stop it now, especially when they know their ass is in trouble.

I hate big business as much as anyone at times, but I have no reason to doubt that BP is trying their hardest to stop this leak, for PR reasons if nothing else.
