Yeah, drilling anywhere new offshore is dead for at least the next 20 years, and I hate to say it but it probably should be if this is the best they can do. A pretty much flawless record drilling in the gulf for all these years and just as we’re about to get expanded drilling rights they fuck it up royally.
It will be interesting to see what the root cause analysis shows happened to all the various safety systems that are supposed to prevent a massive leak like this. It amazes me that with all the technology we have that we can’t find a way to turn off a 5000 barrel a day leak. Someone didn’t plan for this ahead of time? Apparently plan A was the only plan they had. Plan B was basically to cruise around in boats screaming “IT’S EVERYWHERE!”. :picard:
Good to see Jay has gone from the pragmatic, common sense view on this issue to the Republican party line in about a month :tup: Perhaps you guys would like to join that idiot Congressman in apologizing to BP as well because Obama is mean to them?
