Drilling at those depths? >> well, i know from bps standpoint we want to really understand whats happened. theres almost a rush to justice on this. we want to understand what happens so we it make sure it never happens again on any well bp drills or frankly, on anyone. the moratorium we know has been a hardship for those rig workers who arent working right now. as a goodwill gesture, were setting aside $100 million towards them. but in terms of the political discussion around this and decisions,...
