BP and Feds Clash Over Reopening Capped Gulf Well
BP and the Obama administration offered opposing views on whether to reopen the capped Gulf of Mexico oil well. BP argues to keep the cap to avoid blame if crude resumes leaking, while officials say piping to the surface could ease pressure though it risks another spill and could take days. An anonymous government source noted a seep and possible methane near the well, fueling concerns the cap might need reopening to prevent a larger disaster.
