Enquiring minds want to know who were the incompetents?
wow. this is very nearly a smoking gun. the obama administration knew, yet did nothing. LIHOP! (heh. been waiting years to say that.)
I wonder if this story will punch through the reality distortion zone that blinds the MSM when it comes to the obamites’ incompetence.
The MS is a completely captive regulator. It was a revolving door for oil industry administrators. It was lapdog of the industry, rubber-stamping the applications that were sent to it.
MMS had been making sure that the industry’s interests were served at the expense of citizen’s interests. Over the past ten years, MMS has done everything it could to get regulation and government out of the way of business.
You can’t have it both ways. A regulatory agency can serve the people or the business it regulates. If you want government to leave business alone, this is what you will get.

We have MMS’ failures, the SEC regulators looking at pornography during the market crash, etc., etc.
All I ask for is that if we’re going to have regulation, make it “smart regulation” instead of bloated bureaucracies that miss the key problems every time.
Too bad the environazis forced us into the extreme places left to drill.

Here is information on how BOP’s are built, and the problems with using them in the deep.

Are these used only when capping a well?
Once a well is producing is this still a necessary part?
How far did they drill down beyond the gulf floor and what is the wellhead pressure? Anyone know?
What the bloody hell is an MMS?

“Too bad the environazis forced us into the extreme places left to drill.”
And unfortunately, they’ll never even admit that that could’ve been a big part of the problem.
