1,400 workers preparing to trial to clean up all of the oil that comes ashore. this oil, which is still gushing from the well is continuing unabated towards the coasts of louisiana, mississippi, florida and alabama. the oil industry and genius politicians like bobby jindal are fighting to have the right to start another one. what would they suggest we do if something else goes wrong? the oil industry is not being shut down. new oil drilling is. if you care, there is a difference. joining us is...

Right? >> there are very different processes, especially in the deep water. when the deep water well is drilled, often its years before its put into production. theres quite a delay between one and the other. i think theres a whole other issue thats beyond the economics. the politicians always focus on the economics. and i keep wanting to continue to talk about what the safety issues are. we had 11 good people killed on april 20th. we cannot forget that as we look at what we do in deep water. >>...
