The situation in the gulf i'm sure has made some people think twice about loosening up our off shore drilling policy. rachel maddow was talking with a coast guard member about the accident (which btw, seems like it wasn't preventable, anyone know anything about blowouts?). One thing they got into a discussion about is that this technology to drill further out and deeper basically leaves all the ability to clean up the mess in the hands of the corporations. the coast guard really doesn't have a clue on how to cap the well.
