The big problem i have with Brad's take: he assumes that sealing a WELL with an explosion means the RESERVOIR is lost. To my knowledge this is not true; a well can be lost and a new well to the reservoir can be drilled. Hence his argument falls completely apart. If he has evidence to the contrary, I'd like to see it. Also, i assume he knows that this well was not intended for immediate production. I gather that exploration and drilling can often come several years before a company decides to produce from a given well. This is true for the Macando site. And there still remains the technical issues associated with sealing the well via explosion in rock. If Brad does not want to discuss the technical challenges i don't see why he is so convinced there is a secret scheme for sealing such a WELL that would have miraculously saved the day for the planet but ruined the RESERVOIR for BP.
