There's no way to drill offshore safely. Not in any depth of water.
Ixtoc in 1979 & Montara in 2009 (both blowouts that gushed for months) were in shallow water. Relief wells are no guarantee, carry with them the same risks. Five relief wells had to be drilled before Montara's gushing could be stopped.
Blow Out Preventers (BOPs) have a 50% failure rate.

The moratorium's end isn't dependent on any Commission report & the Commission has no time deadline.
