My failure to comprehend still conjures up the reasoning that this is not the first rodeo of disasters, deep water and otherwise. <br /><br />So where, exactly, has the funding been previously to determine results from studies that are what, seemingly now paramount? Water samples? Chemical activities related to aquatic life and environmental impacts, are submissions for grants not available to scientists? <br /><br />Why does it appear the NOAA and EPA are as inept as the officials within the MMS for site safety plans on drilling? Was anything learned from the Valdez and other disasters? Would it be redundant if the EPA and NOAA all had the same information so they could be on the same page?<br /><br />It seems the hope for any resolutions lie in the myriad of data that isn't connected to anything or is so overwhelming in content that it is one oversight after another and is in desperate need of reorganization. The moratorium needs to go beyond the 6 month stand and until drastic changes are made.Panehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04939527860700034366noreply@blogger.com
