THAT was then.... THIS is then.

"The thing that has been guaranteed to essentially work in the past is a relief well and that's still months away from being complete. The oil companies keep talking about how technologically advanced they are. But what they have gotten technologically advanced at- is drilling deeper. They haven't gotten anymore advanced on how to deal with the risks attached to that, they haven't made any technological advances in the last thirty years when it comes to stopping a leak like this when it happens. All they have gotten better at is making the risks WORSE by putting these leaks further out of our reach. oh hey congratulations now the thing you cant stop is a full mile under water. that's all they have gotten better at. that and making themselves the most profitable industry the universe has ever seen and i am not exaggerating."
