      Thank you for your documentary on the Gulf leak. I would like the film to cover how it happened from the beginning. I mean from the beginning of the overly cozy relationship between the overseers and the oil industry. How did hundreds of oil rigs gets built with absolutely no viable and operational plan in place to remedy disasters?
      Please drive home the all important fact that there is STILL no quick way to stop tens of thousands of gallons daily to gush out in the event of other leaks. We have the technology to tap this resource, but incomplete and ineffective technology to prevent disastrous results from our tapping it. So these platforms never should be built until we have tried, tested and proven we can control them.
      Thank you for considering this,
      Aletha Stuart
