Reine, I realize that we are both speaking from our individual perspectives, both of which have merit. I am deeply involved in mitigation efforts, having made now 4 trips to the LA coastal regions hardest hit, managing 3 leadership teams and working to secure rehabilitation efforts of those birds and mammals that have a hope of being saved. I have spent a lot of time with the fishermen and their families, those who are dependent on tourism, etc. They are not anxious to see more exploration until there is some assurance of safety measures.

ABsolutely.
And in 30 days, MMS inspectors can inspect every well out there, and their operations, and determine if safety measures are being met.

It does not take six months.
