No... they need to understand that life can't be navigated with just emotions and good intentions. |

You are so wrong about this remark, that it's painfully sad. Let's follow the timeline:
1) In May, Obama instituted the 6 month moratorium. There were 55 operating rigs before the BP explosion.
2) By May 28th, there were 46 operating oil rigs.
3) When it was time to lift the moratorium, on paper it was lifted but no new drilling permits were allowed. NONE.
4) In January, a Federal judge ruled that the Obama administraiton was in contempt of court for not allowing new permits, or providing a reason why it wasn't.
5) 2 weeks after that, the same Federal judge demanded a 2nd time to begin the permitting process, as over 20,000 jobs had been lost and 7 oil rigs uprooted and left for other places to drill.
6) Irony of ironies: as of today, only 2 permits have now been authorized, 1 of them to BP (the other for a previously approved company).
7) As of today, there are now only 25 operating rigs, down from 55 prior to the BP disaster.
Even Bill Clinton is blasting Obama over the continued, and illegal, drilling delays!! ---> http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0311/51150.html
Just when you couldn't look like a bigger uninformed fool.... |
OK, just so I'm clear with this statement. You're telling me that they've learned the error of their ways by only issuing 2 more permits for offshore drilling? With one of those going to BP? Well gee Kev, you sure told me. I guess we won't see any more oil spills in the gulf now! :haha: |

YOU: "The minute the moratorium was lifted, it was back to business as usual all over again. Now these guys are making the same mistakes again. It's like they're hell bent on taking out the gulf coast and all its inhabitants out for good."
ME: (paraphrasing) No, the minute the moratorium was lifted, OBVIOUSLY business as usual did not resume, and here is the evidence of that.
lol... yeah dude they're "hell bent on taking out the gulf coast" and all its inhabitants. Because they truly hope accidents and mistakes happen that threaten their employment and livlihood.
BTW- where is your god (Obama) now? From Thursday:
| quote: | Obama Administration approves a deepwater drilling permit for Brizillain oil giant Petrobas in the Gulf of Mexico.
Petrobras has received final approval to operate the Gulf of Mexico's first floating production, storage and offloading vessel, clearing the way for the Brazilian oil giant to start pumping oil from two deep-water fields, federal regulators said Thursday.
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement took the "final regulatory step" in green-lighting the project, with the approval of a production safety system permit and a supplemental deep-water operating plan, the bureau said in a statement.
The floating production, storage and offloading vessel, or FPSO, has a daily production capacity of 80,000 barrels of oil and 16 million cubic feet of natural gas. The ocean energy bureau said with the latest approvals, production at the Cascade and Chinook deep-water fields is expected to begin soon.
The fields are in more than 8,000 feet of water about 165 miles off Louisiana, in an area called Walker Ridge. |

So they reduced the number of permits for deepwater drilling to a couple this year as opposed to a dozen? I suppose in the strictest technical sense, that would be different, but the fact that they're still in the works of building more is hardly reassuring for me.

Oh I can tell they care about employment. They care about it so much that they're willing to continue deep water drilling. They must love BP so much since they're allowing them to continue their operations there. I mean, if everybody on here is saying it's BP's fault for the oil spill, then where's the logic in keeping them in business? Can someone please explain that to me?
I think I've made it clear that I no longer support that dunce. I gave him two years to make the sort of change that he promised, and he failed miserably. The only good thing I've seen him do is prevent a total failure and collapse of the entire US economic system, but he did so by rewarding the very crooks who created it, while leaving the rest of us out to dry. But to be fair, I don't see your precious GOP dominated Congress doing any better.
And here's an update on this situation. I'll let the rest of you be the judge

Over the weekend, reports of a 100 mile long oil sheen south of the Louisiana coast on the Gulf of Mexico created alarm in an area devestated by last year's Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Local officials as well as the US Coast Guard were called out to investigate and uncovered what appear to be separate incidents.
In one incident, a dredging project seems to have created a miles-long plume of oil, grease and silt from the mouth of the Mississippi River. Pesticide and nutrient runoff from the river also contributes to an annual hypoxic "dead zone" in the Gulf which expands each summer as the weather gets warmer. The Coast Guard did confirm the presence of hydrocarbons in the giant underwater plume, leading some to believe that dispersed oil from the BP incident has been disturbed from the sea floor and is now expanding through the water column.
In what some officials are preliminarily considering a second incident, fresh crude oil began washing in on Grand Isle, Louisiana Sunday afternoon. The oil has a similar appearance to the long, orange ribbons of crude seen in last year's Deepwater Horizon blowout. There is no confirmation of a spill source to date, although many are looking to a rig named the Matterhorn SeaStar 20 miles north of the site of last years spill.
Local residents have been quick to document the fresh crude oil washing in on the coast, and are working hard to make sure the new oil is not ignored in light of the confirmed oil/silt plume spreading along the coast. Louisiana resident Julie Dermansky has put together a collection of photos from her trip to the coast this afternoon, which can be viewed by clicking here.

Easier said than done pal, but thanks for showing interest in my employment search.

Anyways, I think I'm done with this thread. You're free to call me a retard for however more times you want. I pray that the South does have cleaner shores in their future. But they're going to have to work harder for that to become a reality. |
