OK y'all, PERHAPS I can understand the argument about the capping operation, but what logic is there in stopping the relief drilling? What am I missing here?

Does anyone know how far they are from TD or who is doing the MWD?

You aren’t missing anything technically but everything politically! They DO NOT want the well placed under control until AFTER they get their vote on cap and trade in the senate.

They stopped the relief well so that IF the cap cause a blow back it does not damage the relief well. They are close enough to the first well (a few feet) that if there was a rupture and the relief well was any closer they would basically be starting over.

Stopping the relief well makes sense. In fact, double checking for a potential fissure makes sense to some extent.

Just as long as they don’t get paralyzed by analysis.

It’s all very simple. Texas - Republican. Louisiana - Republican. Mississippi - Republican. Alabama - Republican. Florida - Republican.

The antiwar voters went for Obama because they thought he’d bring our troops home. The environmentalists thought he’d help keep the environment clear. Black American hoped he would improve situation for poor blacks. Of course, none of this has happened. Yet, really, how many votes has he lost from these groups?

Of course, he’s lost most independents and Democrat voters who actually are moderate. Why did Stalin cause a famine in Ukraine? His supporters were a minority there. The politics of death in action.
