BP's Deepwater Horizon rig catastrophically exploded, creating the worst oil spill in our nation's history, destroying ecosystems, harming coastal communities, killing 11 people. And instead of learning from past mistakes, BP wants to go further and drill deeper. BP's Project Casquita will be the company's first oil drilling operation in the Gulf of Mexico since the horrors of Deep Water Horizon and will take place under far higher pressure and temperature than current deep water drilling. These extreme conditions make the Casquita project more dangerous than Deepwater Horizon. Even BP's own estimates suggest that, that if a disaster occurs, it could take 100 days to stop.
