Move it left and right you can see where "it" comes out of and goes back into the sky.

Drill Baby Drill!

This is a map of the Ocean currents from the Gulf stream. The forecasting of a very active hurricane season, often involving the Gulf, gives great pause.



So lets prohibit undersea drilling within a certain distance of land, forcing them to go to deep water instead of simply just prohibiting drilling into the sea bed altogether. This way it can appear that Government is doing something to protect the shoreline and livelihoods of those who live there. Now... allowing deep water drilling should have set off some questions about what would be a very obvious problem. How do you stop it if it goes wrong under about 5000 feet of water? Obviously not very quickly and not very easily. Sadly, it appears no one thought about this before allowing it. Do failsafe blowout preventers fail... apparently.

So while I'm not in favour of any underwater drilling into the bloodstream of our planet, drilling closer to shore, in shallower water would have allowed more and easier options to stop this despicable violation of our planet.

Here's the live feed of the spewing into the Gulf:
