Perhaps once this leak is fixed and if the system holds up the bottom kill will end this mess. But I do feel really bad for all the folks that are being put out of work and simply feel left down at this point. And of course all the wildlife that have been gooed up by oil and suffer or eventually die.
And I feel sorry for us all if the goons in DC will have their way and shut down all deep water drilling off our coasts. The Saudi do plan on slowly cutting back their productions. The other ME countries could follow their lead, and figure why piss away their only resource so quickly.
With two years plus before a potential revival of energy policy could attempt to regain all the loses, we are heading deeper into the doo doo. I'll leave it go at that.

We have been fighting a regional war for oil for a few decades now. Kuwait, Iraq, etc.. Looks like it will only be escalating the way things are going. The irony is that if they shut down US Deep Water, then we will have Chavez, Castro and the Chinese drilling in the region. Do you think those yahoos will give us live feeds for underwater ROVs during their spills ? The future of the GOM and Caribbean Ocean regions looks bleak if that is the path we take. Also found out an interesting bit of trivia. When Mexico lost control of their GOM Ocean platform in 1979, divers finally got access to the underwater BOP, closed the valves, and blew out the BOP.
