    Default With This 500-Ton Deepwater Well Cap, BP Is Ready For The Next Oil Spill

    I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're going, and hook up with them later.

    Good press, but will it really work? They thought they had things in hand before and see what happened.

    Unfortunately it's all trial and error so we will see. The best engineers are in the oil business, but in the american companies.
    Chris: I volunteered. I dropped out of college, told 'em I wanted the infantry, combat, Vietnam.
    Crawford: You volunteered for this shit, man?
    C Believe that?
    K You's a crazy fucker, giving up college?
    C Didn't make much sense, I wasn't learning anything
    k Oh, I see, what we got here is a crusader.
    C Sounds like it.
    K Shiiit, you gotta be rich in the first place to think like that. Ever'body know, the poor are always being fucked over by the rich. Always have, always will.

    They were virtually all American personnel on the Deepwater Horizon!

    Deep water drilling is a risky business, that's a fact that many refuse to acknowledge.

    You're right. Few of the proponents acknowledge how risky it is.

    I would suggest that it is the other way around, there are many that want the benefits but have an attack of the vapours when things go wrong! If you want to stop deepwater drilling then you must surely support nuclear energy which is the safest form of energy by far. I will remind people that nobody has died from the Fukishima reactors being inundated by an unprecedented tsunami combined with a devastating earthquake. If you don't believe me then maybe you will listen to James Havelock, the propounder of the Gaia hypothesis.

    this is all well and good, but what about building a blowout preventer that works and installing them on their underwater wells

    You need to speak to Cameron International, the company that makes them!

    if bp and

    the other underwater drilling companies exerted pressure on them i bet that they would respond with a better blowout preventer

    also, the companies need to perform better maintainance of the existing blowout preventers

    bP overuled experts calling for mud circulation and went with water trying yet again to cut corners like skipping dental work. Cheap bastards,, wound up costing then over 30 billion.
