August 4, 2010 - In response to reports today that the static kill operation on BP's Macondo well was successful, Representative Ed Markey (D-Mass), Chairman of twin climate and energy panels in the House of Representatives, released the following statement:
"I am pleased to hear that the static kill operation appears successful, but we've always known the final dance with BP's calamitous well is a 2 step.
"Cementing this well permanently shut through the relief well must be the bottom line at the bottom of the ocean. I am pleased Admiral Thad Allan and Incident Command agree and continue to hold BP's feet to the fire on this crucial step.
"Now BP must finish the job. They may consider this a 'milestone,' but families in the Gulf want BP to leave no stone unturned in their efforts to kill this well once and for all."
