What sort of jackass government licensing board thinks it is safer to drill two miles down, and then 8 miles horizontally than just positioning the rig directly over the oil?!?! I mean, if you are going to let them drill, let them drill directly for it - the safest possible way! If they can't prove they can repair a leak in < 24 hours at the proposed drilling depth, then the answer is "No." Watch how fast R & D spins up a solution, then!
