And (Drilling noise) (Laughter)

You're my first drilling.

It's a scientific drilling vessel.

Sucre, you were drilling there, right?

My point is that this is not oil drilling.

The part program is just ending a drilling operation

We risk losing another by drilling through his head,

You worry about the gigahertz and the offshore drilling.

We've been through this before with other ways of offshore drilling.

longwall mining, fracking, tar sands, tar shale, deep ocean Arctic drilling.

...starting with the concrete wall. Sucre, you were drilling there, right?

Formations, like these require long hours of intensive drilling and careful judgement.

It was the greed and recklessness that led to the drilling explosion.

I don't hear any drilling or any rescue attempt, so come on!

Now, today, synthetic diamonds are used in oil drilling electronics, multibilliondollar industries.

Do you know if anybody's doing any drilling or blasting or anything like that?

Why are we drilling for more oil, when it's polluting the atmosphere and causing oil spills?

We stopped drilling in ANWR, but we didn't actually reduce the amount of oil that we consumed.

And so what we did was, actually, we made moratoriums on the east and west coasts on drilling.

And what we found after drilling back in time two to 400 years was that these were unique events.

And here, scientists are drilling into the past of our planet to find clues to the future of climate change.

Classified satellite recon photos of a petroleum exploration firm linked to China, doing drilling in the Dajee region of Burundi.

long distance drilling core into the center of rock that we bring up and there's bacteria in the pores of that rock.

So that means drilling for oil in the deepest water, including the icy Arctic seas, where a clean up may simply be impossible.

And the catheters they shoved into me without proper medication made me scream out the way the Earth cries out from the drilling.

This is a crazy thing, this big drill rig wrapped in a blanket to keep everybody warm, drilling at temperatures of minus 40.

He's become one of the wealthiest men in Russia... after consolidating drilling rights in the Caspian Sea and gaining control of one of the wo...

So that trip just ended, and I can't show you too many results from that right now, but we'll go back one more year, to another drilling expedition I've been involved in.

Then, I started drilling down, thinking about the computations I might want to do, trying to figure out what primitives they could be built up from and how they could be automated as much as possible.

If we made all of our autos this way, it would save oil equivalent to finding one and a half Saudi Arabias, or half an OPEC, by drilling in the Detroit formation, a very prospective play.

But even more striking than the ferocious power emanating from that well was the recklessness with which that power was unleashed the carelessness, the lack of planning that characterized the operation from drilling to clean up.

Because you've got to include the man who grew the coffee, which was brewed for the man who was on the oil rig, who was drilling for oil, which was going to be made into the plastic, etc.

With scientists around the world, I've been looking at the 99 percent of the ocean that is open to fishing and mining, and drilling, and dumping, and whatever to search out hope spots, and try to find ways to give them and us a secure future.

What we decided was that the way to address it is not to kill the children by drilling them on, you know, very flat kind of learning, you know, skill and drill, but to really look at the whole child and give them what you would find in, say, a private school.

You can go to an investment bank right now and you can say I want to build and oil drilling platform and it's going to cost 12 billion dollars, and they will write you a check for that because you can go and say, I've built 50 of these platforms before, here's about where the price came out.

I should also note that the discretionary spending, which is about 19 percent of the budget, that is Democratic and Republican issues, so you do have welfare, food stamps, other programs that tend to be popular among Democrats, but you also have the farm bill and all sorts of Department of Interior inducements for oil drilling and other things, which tend to be popular among Republicans.
