:huh: !!!!!!!! Discovery of second pipe in Deepwater Horizon riser stirs debate among experts | NOLA.com
And so it begins. La. is hurting because of the spill, so Obama pours it on with the drilling moratorium. Overturned or not, it's obvious the Obama Admin is pushing for it, which causes the uncertainty and decision to move the rig. First rig sails away over deep-water drilling ban | Business | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle
The horrible thing about this moratorium/overturned moratorium/appealed moratorium/new moratorium against any deepwater drilling in the Gulf is that the Obama regime is hell bent on waging war against the oil industry. It is a political agenda and the department of the interior has become the pentagon in this war. Sure...oil is still flowing in the Gulf and untold environmental damage has been done to the ecologies of the Gulf waters and the wetlands. The nature of our culture has been changed forever. But this administration is blaming it all on the oil industry. The truth of the matter is that the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is more at fault than the oil industry. They are the body which allowed the slipshod engineering that BP (and probably other companies) employed to save a little money out of corporate greed. It was the responsibility of the MMS to ensure that our interests and the workers' lives and safety were protected. So what is the result of this man made disaster? The strangling of an industry which will cripple Louisiana for years and years to come. The loss of jobs in the service and supply industries. The eventual failure of untold numbers of small businesses (like mine) which depend on a stable economy. The social cost of high unemployment. Further erosion of our native culture and way of life. ....But the MMS gets a name change. I remember what Obama said when he announced this war on the oil industry and it was pointed out that there would be dire economic and human costs in Louisiana... he said, dismissively, "I am aware of that." The federal government violates an almost sacred trust that the citizens of Louisiana placed in it...and then begins to lay waste to our people. We would be better off if we controlled our own destiny. We should no longer be treated like a colony of the rest of the USA. We probably would be better off if we had never been purchased by the United States.
wow, you really have the wrong impression. the deepwater drilling moratorium concerns me a lot and i view it as a tragedy just a notch below the tragedy of the oil spill. im disgusted at your lack of apparent concern over the fact that oil is still flowing from macondo. hopefully im as wrong about you as you are about me.
i dont get you. what "act"? you really want to argue that louisiana politics and regulation would have been better for the last 60 yrs? the act thats getting tiring is the blame of the gov for the spill. i wont be surprised if someone soon posts that the fed gov sabotaged the well.
I think the regular posters here can easily discern which of us is truly concerned and disgusted about the moratorium and this administration's total lack of regard for the people of La in an effort to push an agenda. Where did I say I wasn't concerned about the free flowing oil? Go back and read the whole thread. You will see many posts from me concerning exactly that.
