A few companies are trying to get the Canadian gov to relax the requirement to have a 2nd rig on standby to drill a relief well in the same season in the arctic (in the event of a blowout like this). No way in hell they make headway on that issue anytime soon.

Any regulation that would help prevent an ecological disaster like this, they should be made to. Maybe companies like Exxon will only make $39.5 billion in profit a year, instead of $40 billion.
