EPA Administrator: "more oil is leaking into the Gulf of Mexico than at any other time in our history"

Follow up to postings on the Gulf Coast oil spill, via MSNBC.com’s Meet the Press’ transcript for May 30, 2010 – interview that included EPA Administrator Carol Browner, who stated, “It means more oil is leaking into the Gulf of Mexico than at any other time in our history. It means there is more, more, more oil than the Exxon Valdez.”

  • WSJ.com: [BP] “now plans to try to contain the flow of oil from the leak with a “lower marine riser package,” or cap. The operation would involve removing a broken drilling pipe, or riser, that lies atop the blowout preventer and capping the valve with a siphon that would take the oil to the surface. Mr. Dudley said “there is no certainty” that the operation—which BP officials say has never been carried out in 5,000 feet of water—would work.”
