[Hoot Gibson]

As I said it was a joke...But you are welcome...However the Island they did build for it is so small it has been stated if anything does happen its not really going to help prevent the spill from spreading...

30 + acres is not a small man made structure. It is true that the oil from a spill would quickly find its way to the water but it is also true that it is much easier to cap a well head above ground than on the ocean floor, particularly a well drilled under frigid Arctic water and often below ice. Environmentalists should be happy that the well was not drilled from a traditional drilling platform.
