<< they can drop a rig 50ft from a reservoir servicing potable water to 100,000 people if they want>> And you could make a case that BP wanted to drill a clean well. Here in Texas we have a few restrictions, and much stupidity: txsharon.blogspot.com txsharon.blogspot.com Do mineral rights trump surface rights in PA like they do in TX?

Obama BP meeting: No Interior Secretary, but lots of lawyers washingtonexaminer.com By Byron York -- Chief Political Correspondent -- 06/16/10 The White House has sent out the list of attendees for the president's meeting with BP executives. Other than the president and vice president, the people from the administration were: energy/climate advisor Carol Browner, economics adviser Larry Summers, and the domestic policy adviser Melody Barnes. Along with those three officials were three lawyers: White House counsel Robert Bauer, White House lawyer Don Verrilli, and Tom Perrelli, the number-three official in the Justice Department. Adm. Thad Allen also attended. Missing from the list: Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, who was singled out by the president in last night's speech for not doing enough to reform the Minerals Management Service, which is a part of the Interior Department. One interesting note from the BP side. The White House says five BP executives were in the meeting, plus one outsider: Jamie Gorelick, a lawyer with the firm Wilmer Hale. Gorelick, of course, is a former Clinton Justice Department official who walked away with $26.46 million after a four year stint at Fannie Mae from 1998 to 2002. Gorelick is now representing BP.
