    Maybe we can use these problems with oil rigs blowing up as an excuse to invade Iran.

    Well, when you put it that way it sounds even better!

    Deep sea oil drilling is the dumbest fucking idea ever.

    What is really cool is you not differentiating between oil rigs and poor regulation and standards adherence.

    But whatever, fuck that noise.

    The oil would be much easier to get to if we drained the oceans.

    Water is the new enemy.

    Shit does not seem to happen to the drilling rigs in northern europe for some reason, if not because of good regulation.

    Why differentiate when its pretty clear that nothing is in place to revise or even enforce those rules, or will be in the forseeable future?

    Letting these platforms go on business as usual in the meantime is dumb. Better?

    Even with regulatory compliance it is possible to have a major incident. I'm not excusing it when these happen, especially when the company was blatantly ignoring safety, but no chemical process will ever be 100% safe.

    This is also a good reason to not build oil rigs in 5000 feet of water! Or possibly in the ocean at all.

    just so we're clear

    asphalt is made with bitumen

    bitumen is refined crude oil
