The hoped-for solution several months away is not a sure thing. Relief wells aren't "proven technology", they're no guarantee.



All the talk about how far drilling technology has come is just hype -- Drilling technology isn't all that advanced. The technology to fix blow-outs is identical to what it was 30 years ago -- There have been no advances.
