A drilling ban on deep off shore oil drilling will prevent the fishermen and others from being out of work again due to some massive oil leak that takes months to plug and possibly decades to clean.
Common sense would dictate that there has been alotta learning take place as to how to plug a deepwater well. You think the very first oil well was drilled with a blowout preventer? No, it wasn't. Years of R&D took place in just a few months this summer.
As to the decades to clean; things aren't as disasterous as the Libbos were hoping for.
