Those kinds of programs are along that same pattern. Governor herbert we could talk all look the about all of the great things happening in the state. The number one focus a governor should have is to grow the economy. It is hard to have anything else happen if you dont have a healthy economy and difficult if it is going in the wrong direction. Utah has a very healthy economy right now but one area we have specialized in is to capitalize on the fact we have the air force base in utah, which has one of the best test and training ranges for air force military in north america. I appreciate the fact in the latest paris air show, the dreamliner and its accelerated takeoff and the airbus 380 and 350 and how theyre able to maneuver at very slow speeds and yet have elevation. It is uncanny how these massive airplanes stay afloat. One of the reasons they can do that is because they have composite material and low weight that allows them to perform in ways they have not been able to do before.
It’s been five years since the Deepwater Horizon blowout in the Gulf of Mexico, and the incident continues to widely impact the offshore industry and the public’s perception of oil and gas development.
On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon semisubmersible lost control of the Macondo well in Mississippi Canyon Block 252, southeast of Louisiana. Eleven men were killed in the explosion, the rig burned for 18 hours and then sank, and for the next 87 days, more than 3 MMbbl of crude oil were released into the Gulf of Mexico before the well was eventually brought under control.
