Talk about failing to learn from history. [View All]

There have been multiple blowouts in deep water drilling since it began.

Every time it happens, they try everything that BP has tried.

Every time they tried this shit, it failed.

In every case, the ONLY solution were relief wells.

That's EVERY TIME!

So top hats, top kills, golf balls, etc. are nothing more than distractions while they work on a real solution, a relief well.

So what we should REALLY be asking our government is, "since every time there's a blowout on off shore rigs the only way that works to stop the gushing oil is a relief well, why aren't the oil companies required to drill relief wells along side exploratory wells to quickly stop the flow of oil if there is a catastrophic discharge?"

Enough voices screaming this could be enough for the government to require all current drilling activity be halted until relief wells are brought up to standard along side the existing exploratory wells and possibly halt future events like this one, because it's clear that the absolutely earliest this gusher is going to be stopped will be August to September. If BP screws up the relief well, it'll take longer.
