This is a good move. All rigs should have those auto cut offs and it will need to be researched.
Nope.
The article is confusing, by the way. One paragraph says exploration has been put on hold, while the next says drilling permits have been put on hold. It would be ridiculous to hold up exploration because of this.
Because it only happened ten days ago.I'm sorry but I can't help but be confused why no-one can definitively state what happened to this well.
Somehow I think somebody in the Navy somewhere might have noticed it if a foreign submarine sailed right up to the US ... :dohI think that the probability of sabotage or terrorist attack is much more likely than a drill head explosion. They are right now trying to manually close the equipment that was supposed to stop this from happening and has been successful for over 20 years on hundreds of wells. It could have been anyone from groanpiece to an Iranian submarine attack. Weren't we pressing sanctions on Japan when they attacked Pearl?

And why did Napolitano look so guilty making the announcment that they and EPA are going to interfere with the Coast Guard operations at the site. What I do know is that a huge number of wells with this same equipment have had no problems for 20 years.

Predictable. Great way for The Obama to get back in the good graces of the green weenie lobby. I bet Chavez and King Abdullah are laughing their asses off right now ...
I watched a little Hannity last night and could not believe my ears. He was actually blaming Obama for the mess.
tens of thousands of great JOBS...
tragic
at A TIME LIKE THIS
how much more can we stand?
because those new rigs would need workers
unbelievable
there are related industries
hello
meanwhile, ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY director lisa jackson on EARTH DAY, which happened to fall on DAY TWO of the gulf catastrophe, wrote a thousand pretty words about visions and ideals with NARY A MENTION of what's ACTUALLY GOING ON
Lisa P. Jackson: It's the Sustainable Economy
utter ineptitude
noaa says, "burning could have captured 95 percent of the oil as it spilled from the well."
