Since when did we abandon drilling in the Gulf?
The problem with accidents/spills is that they get people killed and destroy more business in the region (tourism, fishing, and so on) than the oil provides. It's not like running a safer drilling operation is that hard. I have family that have worked on rigs for decades and they said straight up that the accident was caused by cutting corners. It's not too much to expect companies to fly right and not kill people/cause billions in economic damages.
