Pick that or pick so much gov red tape that they will never make a profit because one way or another easy drilling is history. If they had spent the money and got the shutoffs and safety systems they would not be paying 20billion+ many more. On top of giving environmentalists the political ammo needed to put a serious dent in land drilling as well.

Why are we drilling way the hell out there in the first place?
