Oil from the Deepwater Horizon disaster has been spewing all over the Gulf of Mexico for 52 days now. We are all waiting for British Petroleum to finish the drilling of a relief well, a kill bore, so the underwater blowout can be stopped. The relief well should be ready in August. It started on May 2. Why was this relief well not already in place and ready to go, at the time the main well was drilled? It could have stopped the disaster, right at the beginning. Other nations require this, that the relief well be drilled at the same time as the main one.
