New Orleans, Louisiana (CNN) -- The U.S. Interior Department said Monday it is issuing a new moratorium order in a second effort to block deepwater oil and natural gas projects.
The new moratorium is to "protect communities, coasts, and wildlife" while oil and gas companies implement safety measures to reduce the risks of blowouts and oil spills associated with deepwater drilling, the government said.
The ban will be in effect through November 30, 2010, or until Interior Secretary Ken Salazar determines that deepwater drilling operations can proceed safely.
"More than eighty days into the BP oil spill, a pause on deepwater drilling is essential and appropriate to protect communities, coasts, and wildlife from the risks that deepwater drilling currently pose," Salazar said in a statement. "I am basing my decision on evidence that grows every day of the industry's inability in the deepwater to contain a catastrophic blowout, respond to an oil spill, and to operate safely."
He added, "I remain open to modifying the new deepwater drilling suspensions based on new information."
Uhm, how about a court order.
and there is more BS as the article goes on.
So, the first ban gets denied twice in court and you just start a new ban? Can the original judge cite Salazaar or Obama for contempt of court?
Just out of curiosity, can we disbar all the lawyers that took Prof. Obama's Constitutional Law class? They are a menace to society if they think like he does.
I hope they take it back to the same court and the Judge summarily rules "What part of "NO" don't you ****ing understand?"
