well, ace, the problem may well be that outside a comic book there is no team that can just swoop in and deal with this.
that is the problem, yes?
well that and drilling a mile down without planning for contingencies because it's cost effective not to and besides the regulatory system allows tons of latitude for encouraging happy petroleum corporation shareholders and not so much in the way of forcing corporations like bp to have a viable plan which would include developing and testing the required technologies BEFORE the drill baby drill got underway---it's totally irresponsible. but so long as nothing Really Bad happened its a kind of routinized irresponsibility of the sort that goes on every day yes? but now something Really Bad has happened and this underlying fabric of irresponsibility is evident.
but there we are.
it'd be nice if there were super heroes who could just Deal With This.
anyone got the number of the mayor of Gotham City? i hear he's connected...
