democratic majority stopped him saying surface collection was not politically in season. now it is, cities like los angeles realizing it can capture and ultimately consume billions of gallons of rainwater that drain into the ocean. bret. thank you. what is good for california is not necessarily good for colorado. that is the case of a group of car dealers making that to stop colorado from adopting emission standards. here is that story from our denver bureau. the colorado automobile dealers association or cada, is suing three environmental entities to stop application of california emission standards on colorado vehicles. other states should be concerned because it really is market manipulation. all states have a choice, follow federal standards or
and promptly extended the capping another day, which he did again today. he was asked why the surface collection cannot be done immediately and why bp is claiming that checking at the surface would first require several more days of oil flowing unchecked again into the gulf. if we were to hook up the q-4000 and the helix producer, that would produce a number of problems right away. number one, there would be extensive pressure in those lines over and above what they were used to handling when they were both in production. secondarily, there are issues about the make-up of the hydro carbon stream at that point and the issue of sand in the column and whether or not it would be forced up under that pressure once it was vented. the original long-term goal with the new stacking cap in place which we have right now was to actually have four production vessels, two coming off the lower keel wide and choke line from the legacy blowout preventer and two coming from the keel and the choke line

the end in sight, possibly the beginning of the end in sight. this as the obama administration responds to a judicial repeal of its drilling moratorium with a new moratorium. but we begin with the new capping effort. the new cap painstakingly lowered throughout the day, as we mentioned, lowered the last 40 feet into place just a short time ago. if all goes according to plan, phrases that have been repeated for the last 2 1/2 months, it will be latched shut tonight with testing to follow, ending the surface collection efforts to determine whether the new cap can withstand the pressure. keep your fingers crossed. surface collection itself suffering a setback this weekend. technical glitches delaying the vessel helix producer from full collection capacity for another day or so. the first relief port was relief well, rather, was at last report less than 200 feet from its target, aiming to hit the pipeline, about the size of a dinner plate, thousands of feet below the seabed. and then ove
