Doesn't have a plan? Relief wells are what works in these situations. Just because they take time to drill doesn't mean that they're not the most effective action.
For what it's worth, I agree with you, but that seems to be the Coast Guard's attitude. They're probably bowing to pressure from their political higher-ups (note I didn't say "superiors").

Re: Oil Math 101

By this time, BP is <darn, can't think of an appropriately descriptive word that complies with the ten-year-old-daughter-rule>, no matter what they do or don't do.

The residents of the coast are angry-as-all-get-out, and things can't be fixed fast enough to satisfy them, regardless of whether fixing things is physically possible or not.

Various parts of our government have reached their limits of rationality. After all, BP doesn't have a plan after fifty days and the Coast Guard gives them three days to come up with a final plan? How realistic is that?

This is one of those situations where nobody can be a hero, but everybody can be a scapegoat, especially BP. I'm not saying BP is blameless, because they're not, but I believe the situation has everybody involved in "tunnel vision" mode.
