Well you must be out of the Big Oil loop.
The reason they are having to go out to sea and even deep sea is that the on shore sources are on a steady downward decline.
As far as the Federal government doing something about it., they are. They are having the best trained people for this type of enginering do all they can as quyick as they can. That of course would be OIL COMPANY DRILLING EXPERTS AND TECHNITIONS.
I guess the President could send the US Marines or the ATF or The Internal Revenue Service... but I think you'd probably be they only one seeing their expertise in oil well drilling and capping.
The President gave a great & lengthy step by step breakdown of who, what, where, why & when today. Watch the news tonight and you'll see we are doing all we can as quick as we can. I'll post it as soon as it becomes available. These are just a sample of our President being concerned & dedicated & fully engaged previous even to today's briefing.
