Therein lies the rub. green light and TIME. NASA went to the moon by having TESTED back-up plans for the back-up plans. Slowly built up the capability to accomplish the mission and then did it. Ready-AIM Aim-and aim again-Fire. The oil industry in general is doing READY-FIRE-AIM. Can't blame them, it's more profitable that way. And that's all they see. Since we know that, and they don't pay the price of failure, the public does, it's up to someone else to keep them in check. The regulators that were supposed to be keeping them in check is where my anger is directed. How could they possibly let the drilling be operated this way?
