It's being used by the usual suspects as an excuse to try to stop
drilling entirely.

The problem with socialism is there's always
someone with less ability and more need.

I don't think it will stop drilling where it is already taking place
and, in fact, if they actually end up developing a technique to stop
this blowout - they will use that fact to essentially say that they
NOW KNOW how to stop blowout like this and that it will be even safer
than before. How's that for "spin"?
