re: #387 Cato the Elder

What “blanket moratorium”? As I understand it, the moratorium is on new drilling.

I see nothing wrong with that.

That’s 33 rigs that are being shut down, rigs that will likely not be there in six months, as the oil companies will have moved them to friendly waters. Louisiana is already predicting 10,000 people in the state alone will lose their jobs to this moratorium, most in cities that are also getting the economic impact of this oil on their shipping and fishing industries.
