This has nothing to do with deep-drill technology, genius, it had everything to do with a process called “cementing”, which isn’t even handled by the driller, but by the oil-services company, in this case, Halliburton.[/quote]Allan, by drillers, I mean the oil extraction industry.
The way I see it, the fail-safe failed.
The drill-baby-drill crowd have argued that extraction is minimally invasive thanks to new technology… until the technology fails and we end up with a huge environmental disaster.
BP obviously didn’t have the technology at the ready to plug the oil gusher.[/quote]
Brian: This is what you’re famous for: Completely ignoring the actual facts and coming back with an argument that is meaningless.
The fail-safe had NOTHING to do with the drilling, hence my suggestion to research “cementing”, which you obviously didn’t do prior to responding. Deep-drill technologies and methodologies have NOTHING to do with the process of cementing, which is why the cementing is done by an oil-services company, like Halliburton, versus the actual driller or rig owner.
Like so many of your other responses, this is just glib evasion and designed to support your view (incorrect, in this instance), without having any supporting facts.

ParticipantAs a marine biologist in a previous life, and current avid sportsman, I might be a bit biased in stating that this is a national emergency. The 10’s of thousands of folks that are affected, and will be affected, is grave cause for concern.
Imagine if all of San Diego, LA, and Santa Barbara beaches were covered in oil for several years!

ParticipantIf it happened in San Diego, the surfers would riot. I agree denverite. It is a national emergency and a national tragedy. Leaving it to BP to handle does not appear to be working and I believe it calls for Federal action/ intervention. It will not matter if they are to blame or what agency rubber stamped their permits, what ultimately matters is the long term damage to the wetlands and the economy of the affected States.
