Bobby Jindal Asks Obama To End Moratorium On Deepwater Drilling
Thursday, June 3, 2010
Blowouts in shallower depths are no safer, the gush of oil and gas no easier or faster to stop than in deeper waters.
The Ixtoc blowout in 1979 was shallow depth, as was the Australian blowout last year. Both gushed for months, uncontrollably, until relief wells were drilled. Relief wells take MONTHS to drill, and FYI: There are no relief wells on any of the thousands of wells in the Gulf of Mexico.
The only fixes that have ever worked to stop oil and gas from gushing are relief wells and bombs, and neither is guaranteed.

Nowhere do the actions of the ObamaAdministration make any rational sense, except perhaps down a rabbit hole in a book by LewisCarroll.
