Despite Obama’s Moratorium, Drilling Projects Move Ahead.

Source: New York Times.

>snip<

WASHINGTON — In the days since President Obama announced a moratorium on permits for drilling new offshore oil wells and a halt to a controversial type of environmental waiver that was given to the Deepwater Horizon rig, at least seven new permits for various types of drilling and five environmental waivers have been granted, according to records.

The records also indicate that since the April 20 explosion on the rig, federal regulators have granted at least 19 environmental waivers for gulf drilling projects and at least 17 drilling permits, most of which were for types of work like that on the Deepwater Horizon shortly before it exploded, pouring a ceaseless current of oil into the Gulf of Mexico.

Asked about the permits and waivers, officials at the Department of the Interior and the Minerals Management Service, which regulates drilling, pointed to public statements by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, reiterating that the agency had no intention of stopping all new oil and gas production in the gulf.

Department of the Interior officials said in a statement that the moratorium was meant only to halt permits for the drilling of new wells. It was not meant to stop permits for new work on existing drilling projects like the Deepwater Horizon.

Obama appointed Salazar he is doing his bidding and Obama is doing BP's bidding.

...What it boils down to is America is owned by the Oil companies. They could poison thousands and Kill thousands and this government won't lift a finger to stop them.

It has been 33 days of killling and NOTHING has been done....and nothing will be done.

- people will soon fall ill by the hundreds.
- evacuations will start/have started to happen.
- martial law will be declared soon in some areas.

There was a plane crash in India the other day, I'm still getting on a plane tomorrow.
There will be dozens killed in car accidents across the country today, I'm still getting in a car in a while.
Someone will die on a motorcycle today probably, I'm still riding when i get back home this week.

Drill for oil, and you're going to have problems. Nothing is totally safe, nothing is perfect.

Drill baby, Drill.

Webster,

drilling is fine, but there were regulations that were overlooked and stepped around on this rig, seems to me those regulations might have been important afterall. there is something to limiting risk in risky behaviors. wearing a helmet, wearing seat belts etc. . . your atiitude seems to be: why do any of that since "Nothing is totally safe, nothing is perfect."

and I'm extremely aggravated that the first step to stopping the leak wasn't to stop the leak but to cap it in a way that allowed them to get the oil still. then when that failed they tried the same thing AGAIN! and now they put a lil pipe in the other pipe to syphon off some oil but not stop the leak, STOP THE FRACKING leak and drill a new well!!! they might finally be trying that now a MONTH and who knows how many thousands of gallons of oil later

I don't think you can put a number on the damage that's been done AND the damage yet to come! We need oil... We just gotta do everything we can to minimize the damage when something goes wrong.

We are all in the same boat star, and so far this is exactly what ppl
are failing to understand. Coming generations will not forgive us for
this one. Big hug and good luck to all.
