LOL BP could have put a remote auto shut-off valve on that well, the way they are required to do elsewhere in the world, for a half million dollars...and I'll just bet that half million is looking like pocket change now. But this particular article seems to be introducing the "regulation" boogey man to the topic. Let's ask the travel industry, seafood industry and recreational boating and fishing workers and business owners what they think about regulating drilling in the Gulf to be at least on par with what is required in the rest of the world. Regulation hasn't put any other oil companies or drilling operators or off shore workers out of work and I don't think it's put any of the fishermen and recreational water sportsmen out of work either.
