No experience with oil well engineering or drilling technology.

How much experience does one need to see that we don't know what to do if a deep-sea well blows? Every day that passes drives this point home to the world (or at least that part of the world that is able and willing to follow the news). We don't know how to fix things like this. That's why we need a moratorium. We can't afford another Deepdoodoo Horizon.
