Ban on Gulf of Mexico oil drilling to be lifted
The moratorium on deep-water drilling in the Gulf of Mexico is to be lifted, the US government has confirmed.
The six-month ban was introduced in the aftermath of April's BP oil spill, but calls had been growing for it to be ended because of its economic impact.
Before oil firms can resume deep-water work in the region they will first have to meet a range of new safety rules.
A federal report said the moratorium had caused a temporary loss of between 8,000 and 12,000 jobs in the Gulf.
Officials said it would now take "at least a couple of weeks" before permits to resume drilling are approved.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said: "Operators who play by the rules and clear the higher bar can be allowed to resume [drilling].
"The oil and gas industry will be operating under tighter rules, stronger oversight, and in a regulatory environment that will remain dynamic as we continue to build on the reforms we have already implemented."
BP's Deepwater Horizon rig exploded on 20 April, killing 11 works, and ultimately leaking an estimated 4.9 million barrels of oil into the Gulf.
The well was finally permanently sealed on 19 September.

No. Start your own thread if you want to do that. I am picking a few specific posts for this one.

Why would they lock the thread? I don't think I broke any rules. He was pretty adamant that drilling would never return to the gulf.

I think I am rather sad that I am on your ignore list.  Perhaps it is because I offended you in prior posts? (And yes, that is actually a serious question as I rarely like to piss anyone off). I did a search for you under "drilling" and "oil well" as well as "ban." I did a quick scan but couldn't find a relevant quote. Can you give me an indication of a prior thread where he did state such a statement? EDIT: Found something. Frazzled wrote:Moratorium is not lifting. The rigs are now leaving the Gulf. BP and Obama have killed the deepwater industry. Thanks bunches and we'll be sure to remember you in November.
EDIT 2: Also found this enlightening Frazzled quote: Frazzled wrote:Blah blah blah blah

I'm starting to think this thread has a motive behind it. I would suggest changing the thread's title to make it sound less like a personal vendetta and more like a reasoned debate as to opinions circulated about the extent to which the government would or would not ban drilling forever times this number 8 turned 90 degrees.

Sounds good. Just keep in mind that this is da intrawebs where people can interpet things one way or the other. It is also the place people post weiner dog pics and four reptitive words together and somehow make it past moderators as a reasonable post.

So, thy're allowed to drill in the Gulf again? Makes sense. It's one of the world's biggest oil-fields, potentially.
Until my love-powered prototype hover-car goes into production, I guess we'll just have to keep going where the oil is...
