Gulf oil leak

This is a WHY would should be Drilling Inland, There is no reason we can't drill onshore, but thats not going to happen with all the Psycho Tree Huggers running around. There is no reason we should be drilling off our coast with all the oil and coal reserves we have onshore.

I also agree we should be drilling more inland as well, however here is a different thought. If this off shore well can produce 50Kbbl/day, we would need to drill only 200 more and we wouldn't have to import anymore oil. It will require upgrading equipment and processes to insure another leak doesn't happen though.

This is wrong. The problem was there was a pre approved plan in place that has been around for years, but in order to pull the trigger, someone at the EPA had to approve implementation, and they would not do it, because they thought it would make them responsible. Not thatBP was not at fault. Relief wells should have been in place a long time ago.

This is what I've been saying. Also instead of a moratorium why not require all current wells drill a relief well now. It would create a lot of jobs for those out of work down there now.
