Re: Guard watches coast for oil slick's first wave
I'm sure you are just picking at Obama cuz it's fun to do, but they are trying these things based on 2 basic criteria: 1) resource availability and 2) probability of success.
They have started the process of the relief wells, the only thing that has a 100% probability of success. I find myself in amazing agreement with JTF on this part, any drills in environmentally challenging or protected areas ought to be required to have a relief drill built at the same time as the original well. That would be the right regulation to come out of this disaster. The Top Kill only had a 60% chance, so they held off. The new cutting operation has a better percent chance, i believe, but they had to wait for specialty tools to be available. This situation is tragic, but it's not like people aren't trying to get it stopped. |
