Your partisanship has affected your ability to reason. The two just aren't comparable. We were told these rigs were safe, there were failsafe valves, etc. Just as we're told nuclear plants are safe. Both have comparable safety records. Now we know it's an illusion. And people are telling us to step up nuclear power production. I hope Obama is smart enough to see before the next Chernobyl that it's not as safe as its advocates claim.
