Mayor of New Orleans: Will Ask Barack Obama to Lift Deep Water Drilling Ban

The Mayor of New Orleans, USA, said on the 19th that he will ask for the lifting of the deep-sea drilling ban when Obama visits the Gulf of Mexico. For many New Orleans families, the ban is another blow since the oil spill.

Comprehensive media reported on August 19th that Mayor of New Orleans City, Mitch Landrieu, said on the 19th that he will be “polite” to the President when President Barack Obama visits the Gulf Coast region on August 29th. "The proposal to abolish deep-sea oil drilling bans.

In his speech at the National Press Club, Randall pointed out: "We must lift the deep-sea drilling ban. In fact, safe drilling and protection of our environment can be done."

After the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Obama ordered the ban on deep-sea oil drilling in the region. The ban will expire on November 30, but the government has been facing pressure to lift the ban ahead of schedule. As a result, the number of unemployed has risen. The Obama administration predicts that the ban has caused the temporary closure of 33 wells. The oil industry said that the ban has caused millions of dollars in wage losses.

Landro said that the Gulf of Mexico's life depends on sustainable oil drilling. The leakage of crude oil and subsequent bans are a "double hit" for many New Orleans families who make a living from fishing and drilling.

Landro also said that this is not a zero-sum game. We are not limited to "drilling blindly" or "stop drilling forever." We can do better. We must continue drilling and restore our past lives.
