So the Obama Administration that did nothing to regulate the original drilling of the well, who waived Environmental Impact studies wants to regulate everything involved in stopping and cleaning up the spill to the point where they postponed Louisiana from building protective berms, and sending out cleanup barges. People can you see now that this president wants to systematically harm the ecosystem of the Gulf of Mexico where it can do the most harm against one of his adversaries state called Louisiana. Don't forget Mississippi, Alabama and Florida who are all Republican controlled. There is no reason for this delay and the OIL STILL FLOWS.
BP Testing Delayed on Gulf Oil Fix - CBS News
CBS/AP) BP is delaying critical tests on a new well cap designed to finally stop the flow of oil in the Gulf of Mexico after government officials said more analysis was needed on the plan.
BP engineers were scheduled to start slowly shutting off valves on the 75-ton metal stack of pipes and valves, aiming to stop the flow of oil for the first time in three months. A series of preliminary steps were completed, including mapping the seafloor.
National Incident Commander Thad Allen said in a statement Tuesday night the process "may benefit from additional analysis" that would be performed overnight and Wednesday. He did not say when the tests would start.
The decision was reached after Allen met with federal officials, scientists and geologists.
