Again...devil's advocate:
The oil companies want to drill much closer to shore. Same oil reserves...but not having to go out in miles deep water to get that same oil.
It would be much safer and IF an accident occurred it would be much easier to repair and stop any leaking.
But the govt. forces them to drill many miles offshore.
So shouldn't the govt. itself be partly to blame for forcing them to drill out at sea instead of closer into shore?
The good intentions of the govt. were to protect the shore-line.
The unintended consequences were that it ended up causing a disaster for the shore line and the ocean.
Maybe if the bureaucrats wouldn't try to tell the experts how to do their jobs...this kind of thing wouldn't be happening.
It's just a thought I had about it. Nothing more.
