First I can't believe that the oil companies are allowed to drill without a "PROVEN FAIL SAFE WAY TO STOP OIL FROM FLOWING FROM THE THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN" Boy Scouts "be Prepared" comes to mind.
I know they are drilling that far out because of the GREEN IDIOTS that would not allow it any closer to the beach. this will never be reported.
That same oil could be drilled from land. Yes that pool of oil goes through land. ECO WACKOS stopped that a long time ago.
A couple of weeks ago 60 MIN (yes I know they slant liberal) did a piece that showed without a doubt BP went hell bent for leather to get the oil pumping, ignoring many safety procedures, because the project was over budget and costing an extra $1M per day. Peanuts as to what this will wind up costing them.
Closing all existing wells will be catastrophic but I believe ZERO & CO will do just that. That will put many peolpe out of work and make us even more dependant on the middle east for our oil. Sorry ZERO Green can't even scratch the surface for our energy needs. Oil is it for quite a while.
More of the Obama Administration’s ongoing incompetents / incompetence ....
Hillary must be licking her chops right now ....
and let’s not forget that there were some posts in regard to BP donating to the dems in the last election - to the tune of 800k and the well not using some kind of fail safe backup device that cost about 500k each.
