Important to know the dfference consequences between 100 feet and 5,000 feet. >>To: koan who wrote (190748) 5/2/2010 5:49:25 PM From: stockman_scott of 190791 Some interesting comments from an Alabama newspaper website: blog.al.com Posted by walt in alaska April 30, 2010, 4:09PM I worked in the oilfields up here for years. In any construction there are screwups. Usually they cost a few bucks. Sometimes someone gets hurt or killed, and someone gets fired. The problem is that this kind of screwup is catastrophic, near unstopable, and will likely affect millions of people. I can't say deep water drilling ever sounded like a good idea to me. Its hard enough to cap a well under a hundred feet of water. Under 5000 feet? Good luck. The price of a screwup is just too high. ______________________________
