their last option before giving up entirely and waiting for relief wells will be installing a second blowout preventer on top of the failed one....

The relief well is the key. In Canada whenever you build a deep water well you must build a relief well. Imagine if the relief well was aq\lready in place? The leak would have been a spill and stopped possibly within the first week. Hmm, I say require a relief well for every well. Good punishment on their profits. If they say this makes us less competitive I say Busllshit we can have a new company get the oil (that's not Halliburton).
