And, how exactly does that make you think that the moratorium didn't do enough? Should we expand it to include any moving machine, any gasoline tank, and anything involving a human being in the oil and gas industry? all of those things are just giant potential sources of mass destruction, we must save the world from them with a moratorium.
It was a simple fire on a rig. It happens. It's happened before, it'll happen again.

As I said, it appears NOT to have been just a simple fire on a rig. THose happen every day, but the workers do not have to evacuate, they do nto have to evacuate by jumping into the sea, and such simple fires do not happen again and again to one particular co.
Federal law mandates a study of effects before leasing. It was not followed. |

Jumping into the ocean is the industry's routine response to a platform fire? Wow. Guess it was good that a ship was <2 hours away and the sea wasn't stormy. No lifeboats on production platforms?
