One deepwater well failed in 40 years. One.
The moratorium will not only affect me bird.. it will affect us all. Everything you eat, drink, wear, and drive or ride will go up.
They have to get this well stopped first. There is still a worst case scenario that could play out.... However, if that judge didn't over rule the moratorium then the 33 rigs in the gulf would be free to go anywhere else. They work on a pay or leave contract. They cost too much to sit idle. If the government mandated moratorium stayed in effect than they would be free to sign contracts any where... and when they leave they aren't coming back. All that judge did was bide some time to see if we can figure out what went wrong, how to fix it and if its worth drilling in deep water still. If not... then how deep is too deep....
