You should never drill that deep unless you are confident that you can deal with ALL the worst case scenarios -- it's clear that BP wasn't ready to deal with this situation we face today and they should never have been given a permit for this exploratory well that is more than a mile below the surface...it's just too risky as there's so many precious ecosystems and jobs at stake IF you ever face a massive oil spill like the Gulf states now may have to deal with...It doesn't matter if BP has a lot of experience or tens of billions in cash...once the oil has leaked and gone ashore you can't clean it up easily...Today more than 20 years after the Exxon Valdez spill environmentalists will tell you that Prince William Sound is not back to 100%.
