Excerpt
House Republicans on Wednesday launched new political assaults on Democratic plans to mandate beefed-up offshore oil-and-gas drilling safeguards, alleging the legislation is premature because investigations into the BP oil spill are ongoing.
A panel of the House Energy and Commerce Committee plans to mark up legislation Thursday that would require a host of new precautions at “high risk” wells, such as blocking permits until top federal agency officials have determined that effective blowout prevention measures are in place.
Sound familiar? Like the GOPs "we'll fix healthcare tomorrow" chant of 40yrs.
Like DELAYING drilling approval until AFTER determining that effective blowout prevention measures are in place is NOT a good idea?
