This would be the end of LA as we know it and Texas would be

hurting as well. This will never happen, too much money at stake
Tidewater CEO Dean Taylor, in an interview on Bloomberg Television, said new regulations that may be implemented as a result of the April 20 Gulf of Mexico rig explosion could push more energy activity outside of the United States.
"Costs for the industry as a whole will go up and the key question, I think, is whether it's going to continue to be economic to drill in the Gulf of Mexico," Taylor said. "What may happen is that production may be moved offshore, that is outside of the United States, in which (case) I think our nation is the worse for it."
"I think Gulf of Mexico drilling activity is very important for the health of our nation," he said.
Tidewater, based in New Orleans, operates a fleet of nearly 400 vessels serving the global offshore energy industry. More than 90 percent of Tidewater's business is already in markets outside of the United States.
The April 20 explosion unleashed an oil spill that BP is still working to contain.

1. wrong board.
2. the industry will just to have submit to sane safeguards.
dont pout. We are not turning our back on oil.
There is a story today on poliboard, in which Canadian law REQUIRES a relief well. If there were already a relief well, after the 11 people died, at most a day of oil would have come up before the relief well would have shut the whole thing down.

The economic and social benefits of drilling. The economic and social catastrophes of a major spill. Which is greater?

Like to depend on foreign government even more? How many more government jobs would obama have to create to employ the people who would lose their jobs?
While this spill is tragic and unfortunate, you don't close down the highway because one person gets rear ended.

Destroying an entire ecosystem the southern part of the state is dependent upon is the same as one person getting rear-ended?

If the feds would not have squeezed the open drilling areas to such a small section, we would not have to be going this deep and risky to get it. There is alot of shelf oil around the country that is closed. Open up those areas, let us drill where we know much better and is alot safer. BUT....the MMS has got to govern better and can't be a good ol boy network.

This is good news for oil drilling in the Gulf. It's already spoiled, so why not?

Oh really. So who/what is going to replace all of the federal income from oil royalties?

Fred, you idiot, if you knew anything about economics you would understand that we can just take out foreign debt and spend however we want. If the government is doing it, nothing can go wrong.
DUH!

you're wrong.
do you realize it is impossible to drill a relief well before drilling the subject well?
there are places in the world where some cursory PLANNING of a relief well has to be undertaken.

legit question
is it possible to drill a relief well after the main well has been drilled and cap it somehow in case it was needed later?

i guess you could, but it wouldn't really make a whole lot of sense.
it would actually invite more risk, rather than alleviate it.
now, i can imagine everyone will have to ratchet up their relief well skills in the coming months.

You know, at one point, you were making ridiculious claims without any inside information. Then it sort of seemed that you turned the corner for a little bit, and let common sense drop in for a visit.
But I see now you've kicked common sense to the curb and are reverting back to idiotic posts.
shite is bad, agreed.
But an entire ecosystem is not destroyed. I've not seen any scientific data that the GOM cannot rebound from this.
If you can link where a valid site said that the entire ecosystem is ruined, I'll pay your rent/mortgage for the rest of the year.

Cap and Trade getting passed in its current form would do more damage to LA and TX economies. Not to downplay this tragedy.

shite is bad? Is that your idea of common sense?
More like a pile of BP dismissive bullshite.

I was summing it up without going into details. We all know what is currently happening to our marshes and wet lands, and we all agree it's bad.
It is NOT the end of an eco system.
Is saying it is your idea of common sense?
