Oddly, most of the flack coming from the right involves the six month suspension of drilling. It’s better to keep folks working on rigs, and screw the risks of yet another disaster I guess.

Might have something to do with the fact that you’re putting thousands out of work and not just for six months. Oil rigs can’t simply be turned on and off at the flick of a switch, you’re talking months or years just to get them up and running again, let alone pumping out crude.
