The government does not have the expertise or technology to plug the leak.  That resides in the oil industry, although BP has chased their best people away over the years by driving away the best, most experienced people and replacing them with younger, cheaper employees.  The good people are still out there in the industry, tho.  What the government does have is expertise and technology to mitigate the effects of the spill and they have been painfully slow in their response.  Now oil in in the Louisiana marshes and threatens marshes and estuaries farther east.  Still no plan or assistance from the government to protect these precious resources.  They have also allowed BP to use dispersant which hides the oil but doesn't reduce the danger.  In fact, oil on the surface can be dealt with but oil in the water column (put there by dispersant) cannot be cleaned up and is more dangerous to wildlife than if it were on the surface where it could be skimmed or burned."]], "columns": ["post_id", "thread_id", "thread_title", "post_number", "author_username", "post_date", "post_date_iso", "post_body"], "primary_keys": ["post_id"], "primary_key_values": ["26690"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9700359987618867, "license": "Public Domain"}
