Comments for White House: Moratorium’s effect minimal at http://www.theind.com , comment 1 to 3 out of 3 comments http://www.theind.com Sat, 18 May 2013 08:51:53 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6936-white-house-moratoriums-effect-minimal#comment-10582 I posted a while back that Don Briggs' doomsday prediction was suspect. He may have been sincere, but all the partisan drama queens who tried to use the moratorium as yet another example of how Obama is destroying everything just got their credibility knocked down another notch. Cry wolf enough and no one is going to listen anymore. I'm not for the moratorium but the doomsday predictions only make things worse. - Resident Fri, 17 Sep 2010 07:05:08 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6936-white-house-moratoriums-effect-minimal#comment-10559 "economic effects of the deepwater drilling moratorium have been far less severe than anticipated" True, unless you drill in deepwater. - Krusty Thu, 16 Sep 2010 12:29:59 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6936-white-house-moratoriums-effect-minimal#comment-10555 "less than a dozen such permits have been issued since the height of the spill compared to an average of 40 per month prior to the Deepwater Horizon explosion." And that's change you can believe in! - ragin_cajun Thu, 16 Sep 2010 11:55:33 +0100
