I agree with you. It's a shame that it has to take a disaster to make people see the danger but that's always the way it is. Good move by the industry and hopefully it will get the moratorium lifted sooner.
some items remain.

drilling a relief well simultaneously w/ the subject well essentially doubles your risk of having a severe incident while mitigating essentially nothing. it's been detailed numerous times on this board, specifically in response to your posts.
also, there is one specific part offshore in the canadian arctic where a second rig is required -- not an entire relief well -- because the area is so remote and it would be impossible to respond appropriately if the second rig wasn't in the area. there are wells drilling in the atlantic right now offshore canada and there is no simultaneous relief operations ongoing, only demonstrating to the canadian gov't that a rig is available in the basin to begin relief operations should it be necessary.
furthermore, there is no "opposition" to relief wells that can be mounted in the GOM. the department of the interior, through their notice to lessees #6 outlined what is expected of operators applying for new development plans in the gulf of mexico -- specifically outlining relief well plans, worst case blowout calculations, and anticipated relief well times. there's no way to "oppose" this, it is the way it is from now on.
