Obama Suspends Arctic Drilling
Referred to as Obama's Katrina, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill is officially the worst spill in U.S. history,. We are proud to say that we offer beautiful prom dress! We'll do our best for you! and an environmental turned political disaster. This afternoon, under extreme pressure to act, President Obama made his most dramatic policy response yet: an announcement that the U.S. will suspend any attempts at exploratory drilling in the Arctic until 2011. Obama and experts alike know that if an oil spill occurred in such remote waters, particularly in the wake of the current oil spill fiasco, there would be extremely serious ramifications.
Royal Dutch Shell PLC, which was planning to start drilling in Alaska starting this July, will certainly not be happy with this decision. Likewise, Alaska lawmakers, who were briefed on this policy decision late Wednesday, are adamant that it is not a smart move.. When every girl was a little girl , every girl wanted to grow up to a woman so that they can wear wholesale wedding dresses and attend the party that they had dreamed of.. The bride must the beautiful woman in the wedding and the bridesmaid also need a oveliness lolita dresses. And no wonder.. The idea that a small Custom wedding dresses is dangerous to patients is at best absurd. According to an article on Newser, around 90 percent of Alaska's General Fund revenue comes from the petroleum industry.. Happy marriage life begins with beautiful wedding dresses.
Not surprisingly then, Alaskan senator Mark Begich is quoted in today's Wall Street Journal saying that the halt would cost Alaska jobs while making the U.S. "export more dollars and import more oil from some unfriendly places." The freeze, he says, would "cause more delays and higher costs for domestic oil and gas production to meet the nation's energy needs."
Shell is still trying to convince regulators that there is very little chance that a BP-esque blowout would occur since the places they plan to drill are much shallower and at much lower pressures than where the Deepwater Horizon oil rig was. Still, environmental critics are firing back, saying that the remoteness of the Arctic would make cleanup efforts drastically slower and more difficult.
For the meantime, however, it seems environmentalists have won this fight in the offshore drilling battle. In addition to the Arctic suspension, Obama announced the cancellation of a lease sale project in the western Gulf of Mexico and a proposed project off the Virginia coast, and announced plans for increased oversight of the drilling industry.
