Earth to hawkeye2009: THAT'S THE FREAKING PROBLEM.
And I notice that nowhere in your plan does it say "DEVELOP VIABLE EMERGENCY RESPONSE TECHNOLOGIES BEFORE EXPANDING DRILLING". How telling.
What is it with you and this jackass attitude of "I'm too macho for safety"?
A bunch of workers are dead, the entire Gulf of Mexico is now a toxic oil slick, coastlines are becoming contaminated, about to catch the Gulf Stream and wind up on the East coast, we don't even know how to stop it...
...and your attitude is "so what?"
How thoroughly ignorant.
it's not about being too macho for safety, it's about understanding that in order to progress we need to take risks. i fully believe that if bp were negligent they must pay up. at the same time it is worth considering that this well is one of the deepest and that makes this unchartered territory. i believe that when govt comes down with heavy handed regulations, they might stop some of the bad stuff from hasppening but more often than not they stop a whole lot of good stuff from happening too.
