BTW, I am for offshore drilling in the gulf, but not without guarantees that they are leak proof. This particular leak had that guarantee too though, how do they do it?

There is no such thing as a "guarantee" when it comes to mineral extraction, whether the mineral is oil, coal, or limestone. That is not how engineering works. The only way to be 100% certain that there will never be another oil leak is to stop drilling. Are you ready to ride a bike to work in exchange for a 100% guarantee of no more oil leaks in the gulf? Should we also stop mining coal, so that we can be 100% certain that no coal miners will ever die again in a methane explosion or roof fall?

BTW, I am riding a train to work. What is your mode of transportation? Without oil and coal, even trains and other mass public transit are impossible.
