I have no probelm with this drilling and pumping. In fact it saves tarballs from coming on to the beaches in many cases.

When the ban on offshore drilling was enacted off California, they had to cap the wells.

The wells are easily uncapped and we have much oil already tapped off of California.

Agreed. My problem is not with the drilling/pumping, it's with the enviro-wacko's who insist it's done 70-miles off-shore, 5,000' below the surface. If the Deepwater Horizon was the Shallowwater Horizon, it wouldn't be a problem.
