Here's a little tidbit about the location/depth of the wellhead.


If we weren't as uptight about the location of the wells and not forcing them to be placed so far offshore?

For those who remember the Union Carbide chemical spill in Bhopal, India that killed a bunch of people?

There was a trial held in India and the defendants were fined 2k and sentenced to 2 years in jail.

I love justice.
