What gets me is that they got what they wanted ie a way to save face with their base. They tried to get a moratorium, failed, appealed and failed....case over...
No, they wish to push this for some other reason.
Why not ask for a moratorium on BP deep sea wells? Why penalize the other, more safety conscious companies?
Also, there is talk among some engineers that the coast guard’s overzealous dousing of the flames caused the drilling rig to sink, thus damaging the connection 5000 ft below the surface.
Since the 1940s there have been virtually no major leaks or problems with drilling in the Gulf.
What then, do these people want?
To destroy us.
To destroy us.
