Oil from the Deepwater Horizon well is gushing unimpeded into the Gulf of Mexico as BP attempts to put a new cap over the well. BP says the new cap might eventually allow for the capture of all of the oil leaking from the well, but installation of the cap won’t be finished until Wednesday at the earliest. Until then, an estimated 2.5 million gallons of oil will flow every day into the Gulf of Mexico.
