It is true that the only "sure" way to end it is for BP to drill a relief well. This will take months, and the spill will most likely keep on leaking through September. However, this idea may not even work either! However, during this time BP will most likely find ways to capture more and more oil. Possibly, they may be able to find a more quick fix for the spill. Yet, the effect of the spill will last for decades. The cleanup, the compensation for people who lost their jobs due to the spill, and the damage to marine life will last for many years after the spill is stopped. The spill has already released more than six times more oil into the gulf than the previous large oil spill in Alaska. If this spill cannot be stopped, you could say that the gulf will be lost forever and the South will suffer forever, and BP will become the most hated name in all of the world.
