You don’t need gas, as you can be unemployed or work from home...
“...When will the Governor of Louisiana nullify the illegitimate fedguv EO and just let the drilling continue?...”
Most likely NEVER.....he’s a RAT.
“forgetting” the infamous BP oil spill!”
I still remember the Torry Canyon spill. Anyone remember it?
Then there was a well blowout in the 1860s-1880s USA. The oil flowed toward the Atlantic, till the river caught fire.
Any damage today?
Does anyone remember, in WW II when Congress authorized the digging of a canal across the peninsula of Florida to shorten the trip from the Gulf oil fields to the east coast refineries? The purpose was to avoid U-boats around Fla.
The canal was never dug.
I fished too. Spent time in Cordova.

Sarcasm? If not you should rethink your position, it’s foolhardy

No. I just go with what people I know that are there say and my own experience - not some web page from a somewhat dubious organization in my experience
Remember the mystery of what happened to the massive oil pools from the Deep Water Horizon spill? Natural bateria ate it.
The brother, who was an engineer of some sort here in SE Michigan, got a job with an oil company up there. Don't know what he does but he has a wife and home in Florida. He works two weeks and then is off two weeks and if he wants, they pay his way to fly home to Florida or he stays there and fishes......
I basically started ignoring environmentalists about offshore drilling after seeing the results of oil spills over decades.
When the spill occurs you get the Enviro Hysterics telling the press that this is irreversible damage or it will take hundreds of years to recover.
Then you get the story five years later of the “remarkable recovery” of the area that “no one could ever have imagined”.
That’s not a reason to do all things reasonable to prevent the spill in the first place, and impose real consequences for negligence, but it never turns out to be the ecological doom it is portrayed as.
they pay his way to fly home to Florida or he stays there and fishes......

Fishing commercially and fishing for sport - two different classes - I always say commercial which is what I did so the reader can understand the difference.
Charter is on the lower rung, so to speak, of commercial fishing, as they are more in the sport fishing class than commercial. 90% of the charter business is dealing with the public vs. 5-10% for commercial fishermen.
Sounds like he’s got a really good deal.
Wild salmon vs. farmed salmon.
“I still remember the Torry Canyon spill. Anyone remember it?

Dang..... you must really be an old fart. How did you manage to live that long?
“... We had some close-ups, too, of coral and sponges, the very things disappearing off Florida’s pampered reefs—a state that bans offshore oil drilling.”
Someone should send this to Desantis. He’s done well to ‘follow the REAL science’ with the COVID19 mess. I was disappointed when he caved to the NIMBY and RINO pearl-clutching crowds.
Maybe if someone got this to him and Rick Scott, they’d push the FACTS to Floridians.
Good living, hard work, good genetics.
“You don’t need gas, as you can be unemployed or work from home.”
Good point. There won’t be food or anything else in the stores, so no need for shopping. You will need an unobtainable permit for travel, so no problem there. No gas will be the least of our worries.
And you can even have booze delivered to your shitty apartment. Now you can drink yourself to do death by 40.
Excuse me while I put on my shades, my future is bright...
In Santa Barbara, Calif the socialists want to shutdown oil production even though nature leaks millions of gallons of oil from seeps out of the ocean bottom every year for untold time with no effect. The oil leaks out of the cliff face by the beach. There are tar balls in the sand as the oil in little rivers go to the ocean. The beach goers would be stepping on more tar bars if not for the oil drilling sucking up the oil by offshore rigs.
Long Beach, Calif has lots of oil, the derricks now hidden.

Some idea of the amount of oil being shipped and stored in Long Beach, Ca
Dozens of oil tankers spotted off coast of Long Beach.
