Thanks Dixie and KK

I didn't know that the field was big enough that they could have moved closer. If that is true then shame on them for not adding in or devising additional safeguards and shame on the environmentalists for not listening.

If only everyone didn't have their own agenda and weren't so resistant to others, there might have been a compromise here that would have potentially been more threatening to the environment but also much more manageable in the event of an accident. We might have had twice as much oil on shore by now but the could also have been capped by now.

People are so stupid sometimes.
