You ...Henry first this is a preliminary injunction<br /><br />You are jumping to the conclusion that the Govt has proven there is a danger and that danger requires this resposne. I think what has frustrated us down here is that D.C. seemed to have their mind made up on what they wanted to do and there was very listening to the folks on the ground that work in the industry day in and day out.<br /><br />Basically the Govt just announced by Fiat it was doing this ignoring it owns procedures.<br /><br />it did not help that they ignored their own expert panel either and tried to mislead on that.<br /><br />The Govt can still make their case. But this time they will have to actually make their case.<br /><br />I doubt they can. What the Obama administration I hope does is consider the very bi partisan reccomendations that are being put out by Landrieu and Jindal as to this problem.James Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406049343115557137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343546954225003627.post-88963412210967607112010-06-22T14:06:08.377-05:002010-06-22T14:06:08.377-05:00So you make $5 and kill everyone in 5 years for th...So you make $5 and kill everyone in 5 years for that $5. The problem is the economy should not be "restored" via destructive means.

Losing the economy of Louisiana ...More destruction. Losing the economy of Louisiana is massive destruction and could be the final nail<br /><br />The problem is and I think the Judges Opinion points this out well the Govt did not seem to be bothered to make a case that such drastic action was necessary. <br /><br />Further and I don't think this point is getting out but it was in the GOvernor Office Brief is that what is risk here is a lack of revenue that will have the effect of destroying the Coast since new laws are about to kick in to use this revenue Louisian gets for Coastal erosion projects<br /><br />The fact is if there is no drilling there will be no Coast literally. We are in a race against the clock. I have watched this Coastal erosion problem for 20years and it is apparent the US Govt is not going to give us the 100 billion we need to correct the problem<br /><br />Further the massive unemployment that this would cause would not only cause a strained budget to already collapse but could lead to a devastating migration. These companies cannot just sit on the leases and it that is a expensive proposition by the day.<br /><br />So I am relieved for nowJames Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406049343115557137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343546954225003627.post-79132233984730691492010-06-22T13:22:09.422-05:002010-06-22T13:22:09.422-05:00No, that does not save the state.

Allowing for more destruction for a quick buck today is a rather short-sighted house of sand.Henry Karlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08506445261363361986noreply@blogger.com
