By now everyone has realized the tool box for fixing BP's oil leak is more than deficient. It's abysmal. Those of us who have been against off shore oil drilling weren't able to get much more out than we are against off shore drilling.
No one understood why we are against off shore drilling other than, "What if something horrible happens?" For those of us who know why, BP's heinous environmental crimes are a nightmare come true.
The facts are harsh. BP has failed and other big oil companies don't have anything better to offer. The U.S. government has few, if any tools to deal with a blown underwater oil well. The U.S. government employs too few engineers and scientists with both the know how and experience to deal with a blown underwater oil well.
This is counter to every cultural belief of every American. It's inconceivable to us that we might have hit a problem bigger than our technology can solve in a week or two.
Don't believe me?
