Like This Is a Surprise: Deepwater Oil Gusher Edition

In a 2000 drilling plan for Shell Oil that was done by the Minerals Management Service, the Feds projected what would happen in a deepwater blowout. In short, virtually everything that has happened with the BP blowout was envisioned by the experts working for the Department of the Interior.

You can bet your ass that Chimpy and Darth buried that study as soon as they took over.

We need to stop all deepwater drilling until we know that the government has a handle on what has to be done to prevent disasters such as this. And if other countries want to accept the risk of fouling their shores from a similar fuckup, fine. Let them.
