to investigate the conditions of his detention and it was one year ago today exactly when the deepwater horizon oil rig exploded leading to one of the worst oil disaster is in u.s. history but on this one year anniversary we want to know has anything actually been done to keep this from happening again and we all know the government is spying on us thanks to their wiretapping methods but now the obama administration is pushing the supreme court to rule on whether or not they can track you via g.p.s. without a warrant so look for the details of that case and ask if privacy is becoming a thing of the past and then since we didn't have a program yesterday today will make its host and celebrate happy hour i'll be joined by producer jenny churchill and military blogger jim hansen to discuss some of the stories that are making headlines this week but the fun is going to be safe for the end of the show right now let's move on to our top story. tonight we start with some very very sad news out of libya forty one year old tim hetherington an oscar nominated documentary filmmaker was killed in misrata li

and gas regulation fixed yet or is the agency fixed yet, miss the most important lessons of deepwater horizon. because the central challenge that deepwater hizon exposed and highlighted is the need to establish the institution's end systems and the process of cultural change and improvement necessary to ensure thateither government nor industry ever again becomes self-satisfied to the point that they would answer that question "yes." it's exactly that sort of complacency and overconfidence that set the stage for deepwater horizon. let me describe for you some of the key elements that my vision of the future of offshore energy and oversight development includes most of which flow directly from the issues i've just discussed. first, a well-funded and resourced offshore fety regulator that closely evaluates the relevant risks associated with offshore drilling and other energy development activities in designing its regulations and compliance and enforcement programs. this includes the development of more sophisticated metrics for measuring risk and designing programs for evaluating those risks a

it was a time when no new permits had been approved since deepwater horizon. most of the questions here and elsewhere involved whether and when deepwater drilling would resume. much has happened since then. we have further a elaborated and implemented rules and regulations that enhance drilling and workplace safety. in addition, unlike one year ago, when we watched in agony as bp attempted to maintain the blowout, operators must now have a plan and the ability to shut in a deep water blowout and capture water -- captures the flow from a wild well. that is a huge advance. as we approach the first anniversary of the deepwater horizon, which is tomorrow, many people are asking what has changed since last april? the answer is, these new safety regulations and much much more. these are some of the elements of the picture i want to paint today of the future of offshore energy development. but to talk intelligently about the future, i have to anchor it in the recent past and present. i will first focus on the progress of our agency reorganization, which i began outlin

down that path, lies another deepwater horizon. it has been a long year and i've no expectation it will get easier anytime soon. i did not take this job because i thought it would be easy. i believe in the work we are doing. i believe in a tangible result i have seen in meetings with industry, on offshore rigs, and the interest in our work i have seen an academic institutions i have visited over the year on separate petroleum engineer recruitment tours. people are watching our work around the world. they are interested in -- and invested in it and they know the stakes involved in whether we succeed. we cannot afford a. failed we don't plan to fail. we are determined to succeed in creating a system that allows continued offshore development while ensuring safety and environmental protection. that is the goal we will continue to pursue with single- minded determination. i want to thank you for your time and attention and i am happy to take questions. [applause] >> you have a reputation for being candid and comprehensive and you conti

it was the time no deep water exploratory development permits had been approved since deepwater horizon. most of the questions here and elsewhere at that time involved whether and when deepwater drilling would resume. well, much has happened since then. we further elaborated and implemented rules and regulations that substantially enhances drilling and workplace safety and strengthen environmental protection. in addition, unlike a year ago when we watched in agony as idp attempted to improvise the response to contain the macondo well out, operators must now have a plan in the ability to shut the deep water blowout and capture oil flowing from the well. that is a huge advance. so as we approach the first anniversary of the deepwater horizon, which comes tomorrow, many people are asking that perfectly appropriate question what has changed since last april? the answer is the new safety regulations, the new come tiemann requirements, and much, much more. these are some of the elements of the picture i want to paint today of the future of offshore energy development. but to talk intelligentl

the national laboratories for the bulk of my career and the learning opportunities from the deepwater horizon left me with a lot of deep appreciation for the deep expertise in the business of deepwater drilling. it is a role i think that allowed me to gain a deeper understanding, something that's so important to our country, but allowed me to meet people and have a profound impact on where it goes. it was a tragic cay tas trough fee. it's my view it could have been avoided and contained earlier. the impacts could have been reduced. now, the role and the goal of this committee is to bring ideas and actions together from industry government, nongovernment organizations, and universities to make those could have beens reality, that is to make it so we really do avoid such incidences in the future and lessen the impact in any way that we can. i'm pleased that you have agreed to serve on this committee. it's a distinguished group. as david said, there was a lot of competition to be on this group. it's one with a diversity of views and perspectives and experiences that will allow us to accomplish a
