It's beyond just the rigs shut down, it is also the wide ranging school of unintended consequences.<br /><br />Valerie DeFranceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990876628413018080.post-39592102522929654052010-06-30T11:04:31.294-05:002010-06-30T11:04:31.294-05:00My opposition here parallels my dislike of kneejer...My opposition here parallels my dislike of kneejerk reactions in general. This moratorium makes no more sense than would shuttering the auto industry due to the Toyota recalls or grounding commercial airlines following the JAL 123 crash. In a region already harmed greatly by curtailment and closures within the seafood and recreation industries, the moratorium is heaping insult upon economic Mule Breathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05586696064321854554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990876628413018080.post-35877332794773037742010-06-30T05:27:38.274-05:002010-06-30T05:27:38.274-05:00My recent job offer in the Bering Sea disappeared ...My recent job offer in the Bering Sea disappeared because of the moratorium but it does seem reasonable to only have 30 - 35 drilling rigs out of service until more is know.
