In 1979 PEMEX - the Mexican Oil Company - had a blowout well in the Gulf. 30 million gallons of oil gushed; 300 people were rescued ( there were no deaths); coastal towns were badly affected; the clean-up was successful; the towns boomed economically; brown industries returned; green industries became conscious; and the technology for stopping a gusher was established. Huh?
Thought Experiment: I wonder if Pemex would be more sympathetic to the problem than BP seems to be? Why have such a distant economic partner with a common language, than a nearer partner with a common Gulf?
