Deepwater Drilling Ban Lifted by New Orleans Federal Judge – Bloomberg

Deepwater Drilling Ban Lifted by New Orleans Federal Judge – Bloomberg.

The battle is on.   U.S. District Court  Judge Martin Feldman granted a preliminary injunction  which overturns Obama’s ban on drilling in waters deeper than 500 feet.   The injunction demands justification for a ban on drilling unrelated to that done by BP, and cites previous responses to disasters such as 911, after  which flights were limited for only 3 days.

Here’s the reference for the case:   Hornbeck Offshore Services LLC v. Salazar, 2:10-cv-01663, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Louisiana (New Orleans).
